Hungry Girl Today: 1.5.10



CHEW THE RIGHT THING





BITE IT!



HG's Sassy Saucy Ribwich



Not-So-Porky Pig

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. And while we LOVE the taste of the

original, Mickey D's McRib has too many calories and fat grams for its (and

our!) own good. Here's the (vegetarian-friendly) answer...



Ingredients:

1 Morningstar Farms Hickory BBQ Riblet (found in the freezer aisle)

1 Arnold Select/Oroweat Sandwich Thins roll or Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats

roll (or alternative below)

3 hamburger dill pickle chips

3 thin slices onion



Directions:

Prepare Riblet according to package directions. Meanwhile, split roll in half

and lightly toast.



Stack Riblet, pickles, and onion on the bottom half of the roll. Finish it off with

the top half. Now chew!

HG Alternative! For a lower-carb swap with less sodium, enjoy this with

crispy lettuce leaves in place of a roll, and nix the pickles -- that version has

240 calories, 3.5g fat, 815mg sodium, 39.5g carbs, 6.5g fiber, 25.5g sugars,

and 19g protein (POINTS® value 4*). Hooray!

























FIGHT IT!

McDonald's McRib



This Little Piggy...

Humans are obsessed with the McRib sandwich. People dream about it, The

Simpsons spoofed it, and there are numerous Facebook fan pages devoted

to the pork-packed McTreat. When one measly sandwich has over 25 grams

of fat, though, we have a hard time getting all excited over it. But one fact

remains: The combination of BBQ sauce, pickles, onions, and rib meat is

delicious. (DUH.) So we turned to the alterna-rib from Morningstar Farms,

a.k.a. the Riblet. The first time we tasted that thing, we nearly fell out of our

chairs -- so this HG swap practically made itself. Just grab a package of

those meatless wonders from the freezer section, slice up an onion, and load

up a flat roll with pickles and ribby goodness!

HG Heads Up: Yup, our version is higher in sodium and carbs -- but it does

save you more than TWENTY grams of fat. For a lower-carb swap with less

sodium, see the recipe alternative.
