    I had a chopped salad made of zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, avocado and chickpeas, tossed with Ken's Light Northern Italian dressing. Sinfully delicious!

    Please do, Cyndi. I have a good crop of chard and would love to make the squares for breakfast.

    Tonight, Sunshine's Sensational South Beach Kitchen is serving Salsa Chicken, a tossed salad and Surprise South Beach Mashed "Potatoes". Dessert will be optional but something within plan.

    Tonight will finally be a pork tenderloin skewers with grilled eggplant and other veggies. I am making a small potato salad from some very tiny taters as a treat. (Little waxy new potatoes are OK once in a while, right?)

    Sorry, I'm allergic to cats. How about sending just your husband for a trial run? Maybe next week when my AC is back on?

    Cyndi, I can hardly wait for my fall crop of chard to be ready so I can make your recipe.

    Tonight's supper is going to be spaghetti squash with Arrabiata sauce and meatless meatballs, with a cucumber & tomato salad.

    Cyndi, thanking you in advance

    Cottage, I love the sound of your salads. I am salad challenged. I love them when somebody else makes them, but mine are always either too soggy or too dry. Conquering Salads is on my To Do list

    My dinner was not good -- leftover meatballs, heated from the freezer. It wasn't bad, but it was tired. I'm going to put up a thread about cooking for one Leftovers are what have often killed a diet for me. I get bored and TV dinners are so much easier. (NOT this time. NOT this time )

    The frittata was really good. I've decided that a small amount of good feta is much better than a larger amount of reduced fat feta. Fresh dill also helps

    Cottage - I made tomato and cucumber salad tonight too. Wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't keep mentioning it.

    Xan - I've really branched out with the salads this year. I like using leftover grilled veggies, beans, and fake meat with some Newman's rf dressing. Makes a good, filling meal salad.

    Last night was a lemon pepper chicken breast I'd bought prepared from Whole Foods and it was DELICIOUS! (I baked asparagus with it.)

    Tonight will be a grilled sirloin steak, with sauteed mushrooms and spinach.

    It's not very summery but the boys wanted lasagne. I used whole wheat noodles (don't have to be boiled first), part skim ricotta, 98% lean ground beef, 2% mozzarella, spaghetti sauce and added zucchini to my section. They loved it and it was totally beachy. The garlic bread wasn't but that's another story. And with feeding 4 kids I don't have too much left over.
