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. :rofl: 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. :D 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?

Last night: vegetarian quesadilla (filling: yellow squash, onion, zucchini sauteed with some salsa, + cheese), roasted asparagus, big salad.

Tonight: salad, provolone/veggie wraps, and uh, movie popcorn. A SMALL. NO BUTTER.

Rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, fruit

I made whole wheat shrimp, spinach, and mozzarella quesadillas! It was pretty dang yummy!

Last night: vegetarian reubens! The recipe I got from someone on this thread earlier in the year. Love them so much. I just find the messy, sloppy, ridiculously low-calorie sandwich (I don't use much sauce and use a nice low-cal dill rye bread, so the whole thing is under 300 calories) ridiculously messy, delicious, satisfying and easy.

Thank you, 3fC folks.

Plain burger with ketchup on buns and homemade garlic/seasoned salt fries.

Last night was oatmeal salmon cakes with broccoli and corn.

Lemon pepper chicken with bow-tie pasta in parmesan avocado "alfredo" and steamed green beans. So good!

Avocado "alfredo" sauce in case anyone is curious- greek yogurt/cottage cheese/broth/parmesan cheese/minced garlic mixed in with mashed avocado and lemon juice- SO easy and something I just made up, lol.

Tonight is a definite 'not sure'!

I normally (as in, for the last two months) make my meal plan and shopping list Sunday night and didn't get it done last night.

Our usual Monday night dinner is rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, and a salad, so I may just stick with that and then figure out the rest of the week at the store--or re-use a previous week's menu!

That sounds really amazing!

Last night: salad, wilted (fresh local!) kale, and cauliflower fried rice mixed with stir-fried broccoli, cabbage, crimini mushrooms, red/yellow pepper, green onions and cilantro. I need to remember to add cabbage to stir fries more often - it tasted really good.

Tonight is probably leftover veggie reubens with maybe some rutagaba 'fries.'

I am so eating subway today.

Thanks, mnemosyne! I was pleasantly surprised at how light yet creamy the pasta was and I didn't feel so "heavy" afterwards, kwim?

Tonight's dinner will be "shepherd's pie"- ground beef with turkey gravy and some onions mixed in with garlic mashed potatoes on top then baked. Maybe a little bit of cheese on top. Steamed veggies for me and some corn on the side for everyone else.

A plate full of spring greens with chopped cucumber

A few Shrimp grilled on a skewer with onions

A grilled pear. I opened the pear, it was not ripe and what to do?? I decided to try grilling and it was delicious.

I brushed the shrimp with a little evoo. Towards the end of cooking, I brushed the shrimp and pear with 1 T Trader Joe's spicy peanut sauce (35 cal).

Sliced the pear and piled everything on the plate of greens. There was something about the combination that was really outstanding, despite the fact that I don't usually eat grilled pears. Cooking the pear sweetened it up a bit as did the dressing. Yum and very low calories.

3 scrambled eggs- 300 calories
1 cup halved strawberries (Which by the way are SUPER sweet :D ) - 50 calories

homemade guacamole and chicken breast dipped in hotwing sauce (tastes like wings without the fat)

I am on low carb as well as counting calories

I'm making a homemade burrito bowl with fajita seasoned chicken, fiesta lime rice, grilled peppers, and a small amount of shredded cheese.

Bowtie pasta alfredo with cubed lemon pepper chicken and julienned zucchini mixed in.

Beer. Green Flash Palate Wrecker (9.5% abv). 2 bottles. And perhaps a glass of white wine.

bowtie pasta with slices of grilled turkey sausage, lite alfredo sauce, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli, green beans, spinach, and edamame. Oh and fresh tomatoes on top with tons of crushed red pepper. Only 2oz of pasta but with all my additions it makes a HUGE serving

BIG salad (about 2 pounds of goodies in it)
w/ 8oz of baked salmon, 1/4 cup feta cheese, 2TBLS Italian salad dressing, tomatoes (lots), cucumbers, peppers, onions and 1/2 avocado. YUM!!
For dessert:
60 calorie Jello mousse cup :drool:

chicken breast pieces dipped in hot wing sauce
1/2 avocado mashed with salt and lemon juice
then later 2 eggs with mayo and low sugar ketchup
(I count calories but am also on low carb)

Chicken taco chili, 1/8 cup cheddar cheese, and a serving of tortilla chips.

7 tortilla chips topped with 3oz of ground beef, 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, 1/2 cup of refried beans, tomatoes, 2 tbls of sour cream, salsa.

Boneless, skinless chicken thighs that I've been marinating in basil pesto past couple of days....along with quinoa and whatever veggie DH and I feel like tonight :)

I love reading what everyone's eating! Tonight is a stir fry of mushrooms, three colours of bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, 1/2 cup white beans, and 1/2 cup cous cous with 2 tablespoons of thai peanut sauce (out of a bottle, because I've never found a homemade one that is low-cal) and a ton of sriracha. With home-popped popcorn and cinnamon for dessert!

I told DH to stop at the grocery store on the way home--ribeye, baked potato, fresh salad.

Mexican-ish pork tenderloin salad with black beans, cilantro lemon-lime brown rice, corn, bit of crushed lime tortilla chips, bit of cheese and some greek yogurt on top. Yum but I forgot bell peppers. :(

Tonight... I had 3 corn tortillas, 1 serving low fat mozz cheese, and a 4 oz of shredded chicken w/ black beans and green chili. 532 calories
100 calorie cottage cheese double- after dinner snack
I also had raw carrots and raw green bell peppers w/ 2 tbs of ranch dressing for a snack. 180 calories- before dinner snack

Salad and watermelon :drool:

3 IPAs and a glass of white wine.

A bagel with cream cheese... not a healthy choice but I was starving when I opted for the carby deliciousness. I haven't eaten anything else though.

Grilled chicken with a buffalo dipping sauce, garlic asparagus, and oven roasted potatoes.

I think I will grill some shrimp :drool:. I feel like having a big salad topped with spicy shrimp. :D

hamburger patty with herbed havarti, and tomato and cucumber with tzatziki sauce

I have so many errands to do later we were talking about grabbing dinner out. Maybe I'll go for a 6 inch oven roasted chicken sub on wheat from subway.

Chicken alfredo thin-crust pizza with sauteed onions, artichokes and spinach.
