What's for dinner?
 

I am hoping this will interest some of you and inspire me to get ideas for dinner.

I will start,

I am having-

Artic Char -simply done on the rare side with lemon squeezed on after cooking
Rapini- in a small amount of olive oil- again finished with lemon
Sweet Potato- baked in the oven with fresh black pepper

What are you having for dinner?

. Just seen this is in whole foods..don't think mine is whole foods..my bad. Lol

PrincessAmy- I love chili. Enjoy.

mmmm... chili. i love chili.

dinner for me today is

soup - mushrooms and onion sautéed in balsamic vinegar then deglazed with consommé

salad - balsamic vinegar for dressing, no egg/cheese/bacon bits/etc

13 large shrimp - dry-fried and flavoured with jerk seasoning and scotch bonnet pepper sauce

1/2c blackberries

big cup of green tea - haven't decided which flavour.

Homemade Meatloaf made with turkey burger...
1cup of steamed carrots
1cup brown and wild rice

Planning on having:

Left over Arctic Char from last night
Sweet potatos - more leftovers
Kale

Blueberries for desert

Well I will post here and hope others do too. :) I am so interested in knowing what others who are striving towards a whole foods diet eat for dinner.

Tonight I will have:
Fish (see what is wild at the fish monger)
Sweet potato
baby bok choy
leeks and lemon

Hmmm I see a pattern here. :)

Dinner tonight for me is pasta carbonara and a small glass of red wine.

These days when i make my carbonara there's very little pasta and LOTS of veggies. Tonight it's broccoli, sugar snap peas, and regular garden peas.

(Last night dinner was just a can of Amy's vegetable soup with added veggies (same ones as tonight because that's what I have handy) and an egg added for protein. That's pretty much my go-to meal when i have no energy left to do anything more than open a can. At least everything is organic and the eggs are from local pastured hens....)

Oh, it all sounds so delicious!

We are planning on two pasta shells stuffed with cottage cheese and smothered in tomato sauce (a treat!) and veggies, probably a HUGE pile of plain steamed greens from the first CSA share of the year, which we pick up today!!!!! So excited!!! Also, we might add a tiny pork chop, because meat helps me feel full enough.

XO!

yum pasta

I had:
Tofu
ton of cabbage sauteed with a little olive oil, black mustard seeds, garlic and curry powder
Brown Rice

Dark chocolate and peppermint tea

Planning on having:

Kale sauteed with garlic and shallots in olive oil
Tofu
Sweet potato

i am going to be having *drumroll please*

baked salmon with baked brussel sprouts and sweet chill thai sauce.

(a new favourite) for dessert: 1/3 bag of smart pop with a sprinkling of cinnamon/pam and splenda.

then a grapefruit eventually down the line tonight!!

yum yum

mmmm salmon and brussel sprouts sounds yummy

We had chana masala with spinach and brown rice. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow. :)

I had
steamed tofu with organic soy sauce, and onion
cabbage sauteed with olive oil, garlic and mushrooms
and winter melon soup

Today I am roasting a chicken with lemon and Thyme. I will roast red potatos, carrots and onions with it.

Dinner today is going to be mushroom, spinach and chickpea curry.

Mmmm that sounds yummy. How do you make the curry sauce?

I am having lemon chicken breast, quinoa and zucchini.

It's pretty similar to this one which I found on this board: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2010/02/chana-masala/

Sometimes I vary the spices a bit and I always add extra vegetables.

Last night I had mixed veggies

Yam
Zucchini
Baby carrots
Onion

Sliced up and mixed together, shaken in bag with lemon olive oil and seasoning... placed on cookie sheet and baked. YUM. I also did some kale but it was horrid and I threw it out LOL. Oh and with it I had red bell pepper and baby dill pickles... with a spoonful of Vegenaise for dip. (I can eat yummy stuff like Vegenaise when I just have veggies for dinner... a great benefit)

Went to a pot luck with plenty of whole healthy foods. I had small portions of,

Wild salmon poached in lemon and dill, kosher sushi, white bean salad, green salad, fruit and Perrier.

I skipped the mini cupcakes because I wanted more fruit. :)

Yum.

Red quinoa, black beans and brown rice with roasted asparagus, red pepper, and portabellas. YUM!!

Beer.

I am making my husband and I a homemade chicken alfredo dish, with baked kale chips as the side!

Ian-I wish there was a "like" button on here.... that sounds like an amazing meal :)

Let's get this thread going again, huh? I think it's a great idea. Today I had:
Homemade guacamole, spinach, and chipotle salsa on a corn tortilla. Boring, but so darn good.

Beer and bowling.

I think I'm making chana saag, or I may just pull some Puerto Rican style spicy beans from the freezer. I made them this past weekend and we do have a busy night.

Ribeye and cucumbers with vinegar.

I am low on groceries (and live alone), so mine was some homemade hummus with rice-thin crackers & a smoothie (tofu, peanut butter, banana, spinach, coffee, coconut).

planning on:

laksa made with low fat coconut milk, konjac root noodles, baby whiting fillets, daikon, kale, carrot and red pepper.

Beer.

Haha, Ian you crack me up.

Moreso my lunch than my dinner, but it's a meatza. A pizza where the crust is meat instead of dough. With sauteed onions, bellpepper, garlic and mushrooms on top and a homemade tomato sauce. Freakin delish.

Latest favourite- homemade chicken tikka made with fat free yogurt, on a bed of steamed buk choy, pak choy, broccoli and cauliflower, add a serve of Susan Voisin's Lite Goddess Dressing and a Tbsp of arame.....lush and filling, low fat and no starchy carbs.

Beer.

I gotta say that i checked this thread because i saw that Ian had posted - and he always has something interesting to say. and then when i saw what he usually plans for dinner :rofl: i had to chime in with my embarrassing meal.

please understand, though, that because i've had gastric bypass surgery, i'm eating only a VERY small portion of this - less than 1/2 cup. so here goes.

homemade ricotta and zucchini gnocchi baked in cream and bleu cheese.

there's almost no flour in these - and it's extremely low carb. but O M G high in fat. and O M G so very good

Thanks Jiffypop! Sounds delicious.

Tonight, I thought long and hard and decided to have beer for dinner!

I had 2 pieces of whole wheat wheat berry bread (from whole foods bakery) with hummus and tomato slices. I also had a small bowl of cherries.

cucumber & feta salad with olive oil/vinegar
brown rice with sauteed onions, black beans and roasted corn
