Happy Saturday, chicks!

grneyedmustang- I am glad I could help you find a new site! :) I hope you find some good ones there.

munchy- I will definitely try the zucchini enchiladas! Yummy!

kateleestar- I am so glad we have some spice lovin' girls in here! I love spicy foods.

I love this thread but now I want to cook all day! ;) I made some skinnytaste meatloaf cupcakes with potato frosting and side of green beans and corn. Mmmmm and I have lots of leftovers frozen for later.

Tonight is green chile bison burgers on multigrain ciabatta rolls with roasted asparagus as the side dish. Im so excited lol

Morning!!

I'm pretty sure were having this: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/08/c...hini.html#more

Or leftovers, although, I don't think DH has enough for a whole dinner... so... hhm...

:D

mammasita- How were the burgers? They sound great!

kateleestar- I am absolutely going to try that one! YUM!

I haven't planned out dinner yet. I have a bunch of leftovers and I have some chicken I have to cook up. I may try kateleestar's idea. I would have to get the cheese but I have everything else.
Last night I made this... http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chicken-philly-pasta/ with whole wheat pasta, 1/4 of the cheese and without the butter.

I don't think I'm gonna use mozz in it, Kay.. I think I'm gonna use the parm, but less, and then use some parm in the "breading" part.. Maybe top with a LITTLE mozz and broil it at the end. We aren't super-cheese-eaters. I might actually put a little blended up butternut squash in the middle with the zucchini, to add that creamy factor. Spinach blended would work too! :D

They were DELICIOUS. I love bison because it tastes SUPER fatty, but is very lean. I just ate the leftover burger with brown rice for lunch.

YUMMY

I was thinking the same thing on the cheese! I am also not a huge cheese fan... anymore. ;) But the butternut squash idea sounds divine!!

I've never been a huge cheese person.. A little romano on things, sure.. a nacho here and there... Dairy as a whole, I'm meh about, I guess. A glass of milk with like, warm cookies, YES, but randomly for no reason? Meh. Nah, I'm good. :)

Thats CRAZY! I wish I didn't love cheese. I can do without milk, but cheese.....maaaaaan. I'm kind of a cheese whore lol

Tonight is pollo asado from trader joes (I have some left over breasts from when I opened the package saturday), brown rice and KALE (I LOVE kale)

I love kale too! Soo yummy. This morning I forgot I had some collard greens in the fridge and thought it was kale for a second... I was disappointed when I realized it was the collard greens. :)

LOL. I love kale too... I have this tasty chick peas and kale recipe I'll have to pull out and post. SO GOOD.

And I think were having leftovers tonight, as I don't a) feel like cooking and b) really REALLY need to do laundry instead, lol.

And as a kid, even growing up in a mostly-italian family, we didn't use cheese tons. It was more of a garnish, I guess, like a sprinkling. My G-ma didn't drown anything in cheese, so we never got into that habit, I guess... :)

This is really close to it!

I use Pam, though, obv.. and I always toss in a little red pepper flake, and I sometimes use water in place of the chicky broth. I usually saute onion and garlic in the pan first, and I use just a heavy bottomed lidded pan, not a dutch oven. :)

TASTY.

I made chicken chili on Sunday, so I may eat that again. Yum! I use 1/4 cup chili powder and top with scallions, cilantro, and plenty of sriracha with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Mmm!

LOVE chili powder and paprika. I add those to seasonings to EVERYTHING I cook.

Tonight is probably gonna be take out tuesday.....my son started baseball and has practice tonight so I wont have any time nor do I want to spend time cooking at 8pm lol. Looking like Subway or maybe Taco Bell.
