Low Calorie Meals, Chili Today & Hot Tamale
Tom and I were out shopping and didn't arrive home until far after lunch time. We were starving, so I had to put something on the table lightning fast.
I'd like to share these two 'quick on the draw' recipes with you. If you've got 5 minutes - you've got two hearty meals that are ultra filling and ultra low in calories.
And 'oh momma' one even contains bacon! As a note, Tom enjoyed the BLT while I enjoyed the Chili Cheese Bean Pie. Both were out of this world delicious! And I hope that you'll enjoy the ability of making the Chili Cheese Bean Pie a personalized dish. I'll share one of my favorite recipe tips in this recipe.

King Kong BLT - a reduced calorie recipe for Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato
This recipe makes one BLT. Begin by toasting 2 slices of 80 calories (or less) bread in your toaster. While toast is toasting, place 4 slices of bacon in the microwave between two sheets of thick paper towels. I used the 80 calories per 2-slices of bacon variety.
Spread toast with Miracle Whip Light Mayo (20 calories per serving). Add bacon, and a whole bunch of lettuce OR our favorite, baby spinach, and tomato slices. Total calories: about 375.
