Roasted Veggie Salad, under 400 calories!

Two of my favorite foods are roasted vegetables and hummus! This salad combines it all! First I roast the veggies then I add them to a bed of chopped romaine lettuce mixed with hummus and Voila! I have a healthy salad under 400 calories. This 400 calories even includes some high protein tofu from Trader Joe’s so you’re getting your protein as well. I love making this recipe in my Oster Digital Toaster Oven. It makes it so much easier, saves more energy in my home and doesn’t heat up my kitchen like it would in the regular oven. Try cooking more stuff in your toaster oven. Check out this cool cookbook The Gourmet Toaster Oven.

Horrible. To me, sweets are a must and with a little creativity they too can fit into a swimsuit. Try these Pomegranate-Strawberry Gummies next time your sweet tooth is calling.
