Manicotti cups...yum!



Recommended Posts

I love the wonton wrappers and the muffin tin meals! I made an especially good one today that I thought I'd share. :-)

24 wonton wrappers

15 oz container of low fat ricotta

1 pound lean ground turkey (I used ground beef but won't again...I still don't care for it)

1 and 3/4 cups 2% mozzarella shredded

small can mushrooms stems and pieces

small can black olives sliced

bertolli vodka sauce (you can obviously use anything but I don't recommend the low fat sauces, you use such a small amount per serving but it packs a lot of flavor....I have used low fat in the past and it was awful)

I browned my meat with some italian seasoning and garlic salt. When it's done browning, I mixed the meat, ricotta, mushrooms and black olives together. Spray your muffin tin with a non-stick spray and put your wonton wrappers in the muffin cups, then put a large tablespoon of the mixture in each cup. Then add about a tablespoon of sauce and put another wonton wrapper in and more mixture, sauce and then top with the shredded mozzarella. I baked at 375 for about 18 minutes. I thought they were pretty delicious. I am not sure on the exact calories but less than 250 and at least 15 grams Protein. One serving usually fills me up and sometimes I can't finish.

I have found 2 websites that have a lot of these type of recipes: The World According to Eggface (which has been mentioned many, many times on this site) - she has lots of recipes for egg-based "bites" and a lot of them are on My Fitness Pal; and Emily Bites (hers is more of a weight-watcher friendly site, but has a lot of recipes that use wontons and are made in muffin tins). I think she has nutritional info for them as well.

Here are links - enjoy!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
