What are you having for dinner tonight?
 

I figured this would be a good place to share what we're having for dinner tonight (including point values) so that we can all figure out some new foods that we can eat.

I know that we get in a rut over here. I will steam a veggie (usually green) and have a protien (fish, chicken, beef). Then, I'll usually add a healthy carb (brown rice, etc).

Sometimes, I'll mix it up and do whole wheat pasta, spaghetti sauce (with very little hamburger in the whole sauce, like one serving with veggies in the sauce) and a salad.

whole wheat tomato pasta, brocolli and 'chicken' strips (soy).

Yummy!

I wasn't sure when I read your post earlier but here is what I had:

1 package SteamFresh Asian Veggies
4 oz Tyson Chicken breast stirfryed in 2 tsp canola oil, soy sauce and red pepper seeds
1 cup rice
3 tbsp teriyaki glaze
1 cup of milk

Both of those meals sound good. :) I need to prepare a list for shopping - the last few times I've just gone off of memory of what we needed and didn't get too many "meals" out of my shopping.

I love the meal that Kelly posted but I also have spiced it up by buying lettuce leaf wrappers and wrapping my steam fresh veggies in them. YUMMY and helps with getting vegetables in too

Mexican soup.... 1can of chick broth, 1 can of black beans rinsed and drained, 1 can of nf refried beans, 1 jar of salsa, and a can of chicken.....Throw together and heat... I got this a few weeks ago and I am addicted...A salad if still hungry

Hi all,

dinner tonight will be late sadly, but that's what I get for working till 8:15. :)

However I set up my crockpot this morning so it's just warming and waiting till I get there. Dinner tonight is Chicken & Stuffing ala Mom.

1lb chicken tenderloins
1cup bagged stuffing
1can cream of chicken reduced sodium soup
1/2cup cheese
1cup FF turkey gravy

It comes out to about 3 servings and a serving is ten points (according to my mother). - heavier on the points than I prefer but it's a pretty hardy (and easy meal) I'm putting that together with steamed veggies and exercising afterwards. Hope you all enjoyed your dinners this evening! :)

Let's see:

Broiled steak (size of a deck of cards)
1/2cup rice with soy sauce
1 cup asparagus, steamed
1 glass of red wine

mauvaisroux, (total teasing voice) LOL! Yeah we understood the post the first time. LOL! Did you realize you posted it twice (WINK)

Cola Chicken
 

Hi,

Last night I made one of the recipes I found on here for Cola Chicken - omigod.......it was fabulous.

4 boneless chicken breasts (skinless)
1 cup ketchup
1 cup cola

The recipe says you can do it on top of the stove, but I opted for baking it at first then putting it under the broiler for abit to form abit of a crust.

So I had one breast = 4 points and the other half of my plate was steamed asparagus.
1 orange - 1 point
1 Weight Watcher Cake - 1 point

Really good dinner.

well tonight I'm having roast chicken, roast potato, roast kumara (sweet potato) & probably some 'free' vegetables!

I just got the 'my turnaround' cookbook though, so tomorrow night will do something from that!

OMG absolutely! It is DIVINE isn't it!!!!! Who'd have thought that coke, ketchup (tomato sauce for me lol) & chicken could taste sooooo nice!

sweet potatoes, arugula salad with lemon and olive oil and porkchop with dried oranges.

Beef Roast w/ gravy, mashed potatoes w/gravy, corn.

3 Fat Free Hot Dogs
less than 1/4 cup reduced fat cheese
ketchup
mustard
15 Light Ruffles Chips - Cheddar and Sour Cream (the kind with Olestra)

Total 5 pts. I still have 7 pts left for the day. I might have a couple pieces of chocolate and a banana or maybe some ice cream.

Kelly - whoops! Itchy keyboard fingers! :lol:

MAPLE-GLAZED PORK WITH APPLES
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon spicy mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
16 ounces pork chop -- 4 pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup apple cider
2 medium Golden Delicious apples -- cut 16 wedges

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk, and set aside. Place breadcrumbs in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal bag, and shake to coat pork with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add pork, and cook 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Add cider and apple wedges; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until pork is done. add maple syrup mixture, and cook 5 minutes or until thick and syrupy.
Arrange pork and apples on a platter; drizzle with syrup mixture, and sprinkle with parsley.

Yield 4 servings (serving size: 1 pork cutlet and 8 apple wedges). 7 points per serving.

Yummy! We just had small salads on the side. My parents and hubby also loved it and didn't even know it was a WW recipe.
