Tonight we're having chicken breasts, veggies, and baked sweet potato latkes. Not sure how I'm going to season the chicken.

Tonight I'm thinking I'll do hamburgers with portabello mushrooms for buns with sweet potato fries and a nice big salad

Tonight it's lean ground beef nachos with lots of veggies on top. I'm thinking of taking whole wheat tortills, though, and toasting myself a tortilla bowl to make a taco salad up instead and let everyone else have the nachos. I made a nice batch of Pioneer Woman's restaurant salsa yesterday, and it is TASTY. We love it.

I also bought an extra pound of jalapenos, too. Found a recipe for cornbread stuffed jalapenos (instead of making the cream cheese filled ones) for a healthier version of something tasty and spicy. Can't wait to do this later this week!

We are having my version of a healthy burrito tonite .... I made a fresh pot of pinto beans this morning, so I am re-frying them in their own bean juice (instead of lard/oil) along with tomato, garlic & onion. I'm also gonna fry up some lean ground turkey w/bell pepper, and add dry taco spices like cumin, chili powder, etc. I'll wrap both the beans & turkey in wheat tortillas, along with NF feta, fresh onion & cilantro, a squeeze of lemon, and a splash of homemade chile (aka Salsa).

I LOVE burritos and this one is super healthy and delish!! Sometimes I throw a dab of NF plain yogurt (seasoned with dry spices) as the "sour cream." My hubby gags at just the smell of any yogurt, but when I make these he doesn't know the difference LOL!!

I was craving pasta tonight and didn't feel like actually cooking, so had a Weight watchers Ravioli Florentine, a package of green beans with almonds and half of a giant fuji apple.....while waiting for the ravioli to cook I also had a cube of cheddar cheese and a small glass of red wine. Tomorrow is weigh-in day.

Last night we had Boca Burgers and oven fries. Tonight is Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa. We've had this before and really enjoy it. I'll serve it with wild rice and broccoli.

Hey Radiojane I see you are also from Saskatchewan! Just wondering where you find Spaghetti Squash! I don't think I have ever seen it (although I really haven't looked that hard yet!) but I am interested in giving it a try!


And for Dinner tonight is likely going to be chicken and whatever else I can scrounge up!

Tonight we're going out for Lebanese food. I did some googling and checking and think I have reasonable estimated calories for a full meal for me. It's a casual a la carte place, so I've decided to have a kebbe ball, fattoush, and one piece of spanikopita.

This is new to me, but I'm going to try to enter the day's planned eating into myFitnessPal in advance (as in the night before or at breakfast) so that I have a plan for the day and a full picture of what I'm planning on eating--and to give me power to not deviate from the plan.

Potscrubber: That chicken sounds delicious. I bookmarked the recipe!

My DH is off today, so I assuming he's cooking. If he's too busy, I'll figure something our when I get home from work. Maybe Cajun chicken and quinoa, with roasted peppers and broccoli.

Tonight is leftover night but there aren't any so I pulled some homemade chili out of the freezer.

Jennifer1966 01-23-2013 06:07 PM

Tonight I picked up a roasted chicken and just made big mixed green salads. Quick and easy!

Baked tilapia fillet with green beans and a chocolate cupcake snack pack for dessert :)

That Cilantro Lime chicken sounds good! I'm bookmarking that too.

I have a seafood soup simmering away should be ready in a few min. I stole a taste and it's pretty good and very easy too.

I just sautéed two cloves of garlic and two big chopped potatoes in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat for about five minutes. Added half a cup of white wine and let it simmer five more minutes, covered. Then added can of chicken broth, can of Rotel diced tomatoes with chili and 2/3 of a big can of crushed tomatoes. Let that simmer about ten more minutes covered to cook the potatoes. Then I added 1/3 of a pound of fresh cod, 1/3 lb of fresh sole, and 1/3 pound of shrimp with shells on. Cooking for about 5-7 minutes and it will be done. Should get three or four servings out of this.

Well, my husband was off today and we went out to lunch and I splurged..went to Grimaldi's and I had 1 and 1/2 slices of pizza(Italian sausage) and about half a slice of butterscotch toffee cheesecake. I don't think I even want to know how many calories that was!

Then my husband ended up needing to go into work for a few hours, so I am sitting here eating an apple..don't really like it though so I think I'm stopping with the half I ate-and I'm glad I also bought Honeycrisp and Fuji apples, this is a Gala and I am not impressed.

If I get hungry at some point I may eat a little something...I'm not too worried about my lunch splurge today, I am calorie cycling and today was my higher calorie day. But I am weighing in tomorrow(Thursdays are my "official" weigh in day), so it may not have been the best idea to go out to eat today! LOL
