"Fried" Ravioli

I love my Nutrisystem ravioli but my mom showed me how to take them up another notch and make this dinner even better.  We do a healthy version of fried ravioli that's quick and easy to make.  


You will need:
- 1 Nutrisystem Ravioli Dinner
-1/8 cup egg substitute
- 1/4 cup breacrumbs (I use Panko, very crunchy!)
- Seasonings of your choice

Take the raviolis out of the sauce and scrape off as much as you can.  
Dip the ravioli into the egg then the breadcrumbs.  
Put on a baking sheet and cook at 350 for 15 minutes. 
I also took the sauce and added some spinach, mushrooms, and ricotta cheese to it while heating it.

New goal reached and new dinner recipe!

Saturday morning is weigh-in time.  Last Saturday I was excited because I was under 200lbs (just barely though at 199.6) So this week I was even more excited to see that not only did I stay under 200, I'm now quite a few lbs under at 196.4!  I got in a few extra sessions at the gym (mostly because I was feeling guilty about the fantastical cookie dough floutas that I shared with some friends when we had Tijuana Flats for lunch one day) and those extra sessions paid off with a nice 3.2lbs lost for the week.

Now onto tonights dinner, it was yummy!
The entree was BBQ Mac&Cheese with veggie chicken and spinach.  I also cooked some brussel sprouts and roasted carrots.  
BBQ Chicken Mac&Cheese
-1 Nutrisystem Maccoroni and Cheese
-2 TBS Walden Farms BBQ Sauce
-1/2 cup spinach 
-5 Pieces of Morningstar Farms Veggie Chicken

=Cook the mac&cheese according to directions. 
=In a pan saute the chicken and spinach with some Pam until heated through. 
=Add in the mac&cheese and BBQ sauce, stir well.

I also have this sauce from Peg Leg Pete's (yummy seafood place on Pensacola beach) It's a hot sauce but it's more cinnamon based, almost sweet but not quite and I threw some of that in to give it a kick, so good!
