Having had a usual round robin of the same old dinners I'm just wondering what people are having for dinner so I can nab some ideas for aiding weight loss..

I like the blog "100 days of real food" it's a bit trippy with the anti-GMO nonsense but the recipes are truly awesome.
I've also heard good things about the pioneer woman.
Also, but a slow cooker. You woulnt regret it.0 -
I just popped this in the oven.
1 can of diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 boneless chicken breast
16 ounces of California blend frozen veggies.
1 tablespoon of Goya Culantro cooking base
So far all of that is about 400 calories. I will probably make some brown rice to go with it and eat half for dinner and save the rest for tomorrow's lunch.0 -
I'll be having leftovers of the Skinnytaste mushroom risotto I made last night. Highly recommended!0

I also recommend checking out skinny taste. Having the potatoe soup for supper0

I need some new ideas too...
I tend to have turkey chili, bruschetta chicken, man pleasing chicken, sirloin steak and vegis a lot.
Look up man pleasing chicken on iowagirleats.com. I just replace pasta with more steamed vegis. To die for.0 -

I am having cubed steaks and mashed potatoes. Cubed steak is pretty low fat beef and I season it with Beefy Onion Soup mix and water. Or you can cook it with cream of mushroom or chicken.0

Well, I don't follow low calorie. I just eat the amount that will fit into my day and try to plan for it. Tonight we're having baked shrimp scampi from Ina Garten's recipe and green beans with shallots. Kids are putting the shrimp over pasta. DH and I are taking care of that open bottle of wine from the shrimp marinade Shrimp is low calorie and you can reduce the butter and oil by quite a bit, if desired. So Good!

One of my favorites is cilantro lime chicken.
1 chicken breast, cubed (will serve me and hubby)
2-3 limes
Cilantro to taste
Salt and pepper
Cayenne pepper
Garlic (fresh or powdered)
Basically, toss the chicken with some oil or cooking spray (to save calories) in a HOT skillet. Season with salt, pepper, cayenne, and garlic. I usually squeeze in about half my limes then the other half after I flip my chicken. Cook chicken through. Then at the very end, zest a lime or two and throw in your cilantro.
Goes great with soft taco shells and avocados or on a salad.0 -
I'm making grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs with an apricot-garlic glaze0

ground turkey on whole wheat tortilla
top with salsa (or taco sauce), lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese0 -

You can probably avoid the apricot glaze and just use garlic.
