  • Chicken! As often as I can stand to eat it. :P Not sick of it yet, haha. I grill it because that tastes best to me. Lately I've been putting teriyaki sauce (spelled wrong I'm sure) on it. And then I eat steamed veggies with it too. My eyes are bigger than my stomach so I always make too many freaking vegetables.
  • Last night was a buffalo chicken wrap with broccoli slaw, homemade blue cheese dressing, two kinds of hot sauce, spinach, and tomatoes.

    Tonight will probably be a veggie/chicken quesadilla. Leftover grilled chicken is on the menu until it's gone.
  • Tonight is sauteed chicken with artichokes and mushrooms with a little wine and garlic. So yummy it doesn't even need carbs Add a sprinkle of parm to finish and it's 380 calories worth of delish
  • Tonight we are smoking a chicken. With that is whipped potatoes/carrots (yes, whipped together...so yummy!) and a peach/white cheddar spinach salad with homemade baslamic dressing
  • homemade baked "eggrolls'--i make them diff every time--tonight will have cabbage, carrots shredded, black beans, shredded porkloin, garlic and whatever blend of spices i feel like adding at the time--usually some chopped cilantro and cumin sometimes i throw in some diced green olives with a tbsn of the brine--just kinda wing it then bake
    they come out to about 130-140 cal each filled with yummy stuff and i have a quick hand-held meal to grab and go later in the week!
  • Quote: homemade baked "eggrolls'
    Ooh, I was just thinking of making these yesterday!
  • Tilapia! I'm very excited!
  • home made 100% whole wheat pizza and salad
  • Asparagus and broccoli stir fry served on brown rice and some fresh watermelon for dessert.
  • this amazing chicken sausage/onion/pepper/red potato bake from skinnytaste.com for 325 calories.
  • Yesterday I simmered 3 pounds of boneless skinless chicken thighs in beer and bbq sauce so dinner was bbq chicken on a bagel. I also made a huge pot of beans, so lunch today is bbq chicken and pinto beans.

    Dinner tonight - maybe a fritatta with kale and garlic scape pesto. My CSA box arrives with fresh eggs and lots of veggies.
  • Last night was baked boneless pork loin with seasoned bread crumbs (shake 'n' bake style), homemade macaroni/cauliflower cheese using 2% velveeta cheese and green beans sauteed with 1 tbsp light butter.

    Tonight is... pizza since I'm going over to my cousin's but I will have a huge salad with some cottage cheese, spinach, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots and some vinegar/jalapeno brine for dressing before I go so I won't be as hungry and eat a ton of pizza or something like that.
  • Baked Chiles Rellenos with Polenta, Black Beans, and Corn on the Cob
  • Baked spaghetti squash pasta w/ garlic and basil red sauce, and some amazing sharp parmigiano-reggiano cheese on top.
  • Shrimp tacos!
    2 hard taco shells
    avocado
    zucchini
    mushrooms
    shrimp
    salsa.

    About 450 calories, and I had cheese and crackers (250) for appetizer. Skipping the beer tonight... weigh in is tomorrow.
