I'm cooking my girlfriend beef stroganoff for dinner tonight. I'm going to try to send home as much as possible with her, but I'll probably be eating small portions of it for a few nights with tons of veggies to make it filling. She loves pasta and I'm trying to limit my consumption of it... bah.
After that it'll be the usual chicken breast & green beans. I've been eating saurkraut as a second side for this past week- I forgot how good and low calorie that stuff is. Yum.
Tonight its shredded BBQ chicken.
2lbs bonless chicken breast
1 cup BBQ Sauce (the one I used was 45 cal/per serving)
1 cup diet coke
2 teaspoon seasoning salt
Crockpot 6-8 hours, (shred chicken 1 hour before serving so the sauce soaks in)
I finally made myself cook something substantial...
Quinoa ,Kale, Random frozen veggie Caserole topped with a thin layer of sweetpotatoe (trying to reduce fat contents so avoided the urge to add CHEESE ) .
For a badly planned /disorganized cooking job it actually turned out pretty well. I tend to have luck in the kitchen or maybe I'm just... not that picky.
If you haven't tried it yet, the cauliflower alfredo is an awesome healthier version.
Another option is to put your pasta into a pan when it's al dente, add some nefuchatel (light cream cheese), milk, salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese. It's a quick version.
