Broiled shark steak with lemon, onions, garlic, margarine and a bit of season salt. Maybe some green beans and brown rice on the side and a spinach salad w/ reduced fat feta.

A lean boneless pork chop made into a stir-fry with lots of peppers and celerey plus some brown rice from the freezer - if I can find it! - or ww pasta. (Capelli d'Angelli reminds me a of Chinese noodles.)

Mexican chicken soup; jalapeno cornbread for the masses; jello with strawberries for dessert

broiled scallops, brown rice, asparagus, and other veggies for the kiddos.

I got home late and too tired to cook, so I had cottage cheese with strawberries.

Spaghetti squash with sicilian tuna sauce

Brian is with his Dad so I'm making a stir fry with scallops, asparagus, mushrooms, cabbage, red onion and light balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

TwynnB · 03-16-2009, 10:08 PM

Unlikely Brian! Our scallops were fantastic!

Tomorrow: carnitas with all the trimmings (basically quesadillas), and black bean with corn salad.

I also just made an asparagus and tomato salad with my leftover asparagus from tonight...yum!

When did I start to crave and adore veggie salads like this??!?!

On the road today. Ate an Arby's roast chicken sandwich without the mayo or bun (AKA chicken and tomato) for supper. Starving when I got home, so I had Ezekial bread with almond butter.

First I will start off by saying I just went to Penzeys spice company while up north and got some cool new spices to try so hopefully I will be mixing it up a bit more! lol

Lunch was made with the new hot curry powder I bought, and didn't care a whole lot for- tastes sweeter than the other one I had and well, sweet just isn't my thing... anywho I made it with chic peas, broccoli, mushrooms, spinach, a few baby carrots, tomatoes and black sesame seeds... pretty yummy but had to add some sriracha sauce to add me some heat

Ive been trying to figure out what to have for dinner that I can make with cabbage... before becoming vegetarian I really liked ruebens- wish there was a good alternative...

My mother wants me to go over for dinner, but they are having corned beef and cabbage. Just the thought of corned beef makes me want to hurl my kibbles n bits. LOL Maybe I'll just be polite and nibble on some cabbage and then come home and make a whole wheat pita pizza with veggies?

Ruthxxx · 03-17-2009, 02:13 PM

I had my corned beef on the weekend when I needed a crockpot meal. Tonight I'm having pulled pork on "fried" cabbage with maybe a wee tater or two - it IS St Patrick's Day and I am Irish.

CyndiM · 03-17-2009, 02:15 PM

Now that my evening obligation has been canceled we are having sauteed cabbage, carrots & veggie sausages with lots of fennel and garlic.

JerseyGirrl · 03-17-2009, 02:20 PM

Rikki...I could swear I've seen vegetarian pastrami slices somewhere before?? I'll see if I can find it.

Chelby29 · 03-17-2009, 02:24 PM

Rikki -- Penzey's Spices is one of my favorite places! We have one in Birmingham. Their soup bases are wonderful. I haven't had the veggie base, but can't imagine it's less that great. What did you get? My favorite things are BBQ3000, Old World Seasoning, salad dressing mixes, and tillicherry whole peppercorns. I'm going to get good curry the next time I'm there.
