Tonight I'm making chicken parmesan from scratch. It'll be a little calorie heavy, but I burned over 1,000 calories at the gym today so I feel ok going over by a couple hundred. I'll post pics later!

Roxy - I've seen a similar recipe somewhere and never got around to trying it. I think I might try these out... But any ideas on why you have to boil it?

I made green chile chicken enchiladas tonight. It's usually a staple around here, but I haven't made them for a while... DH was glad to smell them cooking when he got home!

I made elk loaf for dinner last night.
I used 1 pound of ground elk, 1 egg, 30 grams of ground fiber one, garlic, rosemary, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper for 4 servings. In the picture it is sitting on bulgar wheat and has been topped with a bit of mozzarella. The elkloaf itself came in at 199 calories; 7.5g fat; 2.8g sat. fat; 133 mg cholesterol; 115 mg sodium; 6.4 carbs; 3.5 fiber; and 27g protein. The cholesterol could be brought down by using egg beaters or egg white. It was so yummy. That was my first time subbing the ground fiber one for breadcrumbs. I think it works wonderfully.

bumping this thread for food ideas... and to throw in a new one of my own
tonight's dinner was sort of an experiment. i got this lovely peach-brandy glaze from tastefully simple and really had no idea how to use it. well, more accurately, i had SO MANY i couldn't decide. since it adds a bit of calories to a dish (25 cals per tbsp) i figured i should put it on something light. originally it was going to be on a frozen veggie mix with shrimp and do a stir fry over rice. however, i didn't know we were out of shrimp (oops) and we have a bunch of potatoes that need to be used. so instead, i used a frozen veggie mix (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots) added onion and green pepper slivers, diced up a few potatoes and on my husband's request used turkey kielbasa as the meat. the finished product ended up looking something like this:
the whole dish contained about 1700 calories (and it was a lot of food!) so if you took a quarter of it (which ended up being about 2.5 cups) it was around 425 calories. sweet and salty thanks to the combo of the glaze and the kielbasa, but also full of good for you stuff in the veggies. i only ate about half of my bowl, but i will probably finish it tonight after the gym!
