  • What's everyone having for dinner?? Love to get some new ideas. We are having turkey taco salad with salsa and FF sour cream--YUM. Prefer beef but trying to be good. Notice it's NOT chicken. I haven't had prunes in 2 days and I am actually more regular--doesn't seem right.
  • had a salad, chicken with hot sauce & FF bleu cheese.
  • Beer-can chicken on the grill...broccolli w/lt. swiss melted on top.

    How was NASCAR? Did ya'll have fun?

    I'm in Fort Worth and our traffic was INSANE!

  • Hamburgers on the grill and a big salad.
  • Ange--he loved it!! was like a little boy. I stayed in Rockwall (& Garland) so it wasn't bad for me but he was basically on the road getting to and from longer than he was actually at the race!

    How long do you leave your chicken on the grill? We tried this little stand from Walmart and it was a pain in the butt but my sis has a cool grate the size of a cookie sheet with welded things for the can and she has no problem--want one like hers before I try it again.
  • Katie--do you just save your starches or go bunless?
  • Grilled chicken & asparagus, on spinach salad with Newman's sesame ginger drsg.
    I have 1 starch and 1 fruit left for today
  • Ground chicken curried burger/ sauteed garlic zuchinni - dessert = 1/2 slice of pineapple + 2 twinkies (ha ha, just seeing if you are paying attention - twinkies are actually illegal here in Canada)

  • Boos-

    We use the little beer-can stand from WalMart - the beer can fits in it, DH sets the whole thing on aluminum foil with the edges turned up. He smokes it - not grills fast - for 2 hours or so - depending on the heat, then finishes it up in the oven to make sure the far inside bits are done. The beer evaporated and keeps it so moist, but it takes a while, so we do it on days we're doing yardwork, hanging outside with dogs, or just the weekend when we are home.

  • sznn--I am addicted to FoodNetwok and just saw the "unwrapped" show on making Twinkies--YYYUUUMMM. Most things don't get to me but making sweets and chips is torture yet I am addicted! I still plan to make heatherpp's asparagus but haven't gotten around to it.

    I love hearing what everyone is having--gives me ideas and incentive to cook at home. My taco salad was better than usual--maybe I am getting used to the ground turkey--LOTS of seasoning!
  • A--my stand didn't want to stand!! Sounds great and I will try it again because my sister's always turns out sooo good.
  • I pan cooked slices of red pepper and brocolli florets with shrimp over brown rice

    Illegal by the law or just illegal by LAWL? (get it, law or LAWL...I think I'm hilarious) Twinkies are illegal for me becuase I LOVE THEM
  • they're not really illegal - we love our junkfood here...esp. CHEETOS.
    if there were a bowl of Cheetos in front of me I would cave and snarf them all down !!
  • stiesta--Yes--very punny--haha--glad to see someone else with a little warped sense of humor--I tend to crack myself up often with my witty self but DH sometimes just doesn't get it! If laughter burns calories why aren't I skinny!!
