Nutrition and Healthy Cuisine- More Barley, Falafels and Tahini Sauce

This was our last day of Nutritional and Healthy Cuisine. It has been nice to learn a few techniques to create flavorable dishes with less fat and calories. We made a stir fried Barley pilaf that was quite tasty.
We also made a Jerk chicken and Falafels with a
yogurt Tahini Sauce. It was a mellow day with
plenty of time to begin our mise en place for tomorrow's final. It's like a weekly routine now.

Our mission, if we choose to take it, is to create a dish, complete with starch, vegetable and a side salad that is under 550 calories.
I have been playing around with a few different menus and let me tell you, it is not an easy task to keep a complete meal at this caloric level that is worth eating.

We get a ingredient box that doesn't make me jump for joy. Maybe a jumping jack at best.
Chicken, again! Cabbage, again!
Another report with recipes and caloric breakdowns.
Help. Ryan.
Is it cheating that you help me? I helped you for years.
What would Doug say? (WWDS)

Goodnight
