Last night was 2oz macaroni shells with 1/2 cup 0% greek yogurt, 1/8 cup jarred alfredo sauce and 1 tbsp parmesan then topped with 1 slice crumbled bacon. Oh yea, 1/2 cup green beans in there too.
This is a new one for me (I've not been in the habit of cooking "real" meals for a long time, and this is my first pass at really trying to do it "light".)
Beef stir fry with Asian oil and a bunch of veggies (green beans, zukes, snow peas, green/red peppers, onions)
Brown rice
Salad (or maybe skip the salad since there are already veggies and have a bunch of fresh fruit)

Had beef stroganoff again with piece of bread, mushrooms and a few egg noodles (already had tuna pasta with spinach for lunch so didn't want dinner to be too carbyyy.)
Tomorrow's dinner- Chicken and spinach pizzas using tortilla wraps as the crust, light alfredo sauce as the base and light cheese on top. Yum, can't wait.
Tonight is taco salad--one of our basic "go to" meals, since we all like it and it's quick and easy.
Saturday, I cooked 6 lbs of ground beef/taco meat in the crock pot, bagged it up, and froze it in single meal size bags. It makes it quick to put the meal together after work!
I think I want to start eating at Beth and Amandie's houses every night! Everything sounds delicious!!
Hehe! You are definitely welcome anytime! Everyone else here who dines with me seems to be a bit picky and poke at it a few times before trying a bite. So funny to watch until they try a bite. "Oh, it's good! Wow, I'm surprised." Still surprised after 3 years of being the main cook. I jus have to say... don't use canned chicken for meatballs, bad idea. The flavor was good but texture was not. That's what I get for trying to use a shortcut. Raw ground chicken is best if you want that meatball consistency/texture as if you would for ground beef and pork, you know?
