We rotate about 30-40 meals but, our top five are tacos, cubed steaks and potatoes, Anniversary chicken, crockpot chicken pasta, and spaghetti bake. Probably not the healthiest but they are super filling. My healthiest meal is usually lunch though.

Beans and rice--black beans or pinto--I do the dry ones in the crock pot so nothing added, then drain and put over brown rice. Add salsa, avocado, cheese if you like, chopped peppers, cherry tomatoes--whatever. I also eat a lot of cereal for dinner--sorry--not too creative...

1. Lightly seared white fish (flounder, cod, tilapia) sometimes herb crusted. Use cooking spray instead of oil to save calories & sautéed spinach with lemon juice and a little reduced fat feta cheese.
2. Spaghetti squash with ground turkey marinara sauce and a touch of Parmesan cheese. (Very filling and delish)
3. Broiled chicken with mashed cauliflower (I use almond milk and a tad bit of butter and garlic to purée) and sautéed green beans
4. Roasted pork loin with sweet potatoes and asparagus.
5. Asian ground pork lettuce wraps with water chestnuts , carrots, and homemade ginger hoisin soy sesame sauce, so good!

Just remeber to use cooking spray (I like the coconut oil kind) instead of olive oil or butter, it will save so many calories! And Mrs. Dash is great for seasoning!

Last night I was exhausted and made the easiest dinner ever. I cooked one of those little steamers boxes of mixed veggies in cheese sauce and poured it over a leftover baked potato topped with Mrs. Dash. It was done in 5 minutes, and was so delicious and very filling for only 300 calories.

We're not fancy! The rotation includes:

1. Stir fry, chicken or shrimp with a frozen bell pepper mix and rice.
2. Bean chili, generally I don't add meat but tonight we will add ground turkey tonight and serve with side salad for extra veggies.
3. Chicken breasts with fresh green beans and mushroom sautee. Can do many flavors with this.
4. Salmon, been doing this with a pasta side and salad lately.
5. Fajitas, either chicken or steak. I'm lazy and use sauce packets for this one. I make this with the same frozen bell pepper mix as my stir fry.

Lazy easy dinners! But we are overall eating much less pasta and huge carb heavy dinners! We save pasta for weekends now.

for this week, i made myself a huge batch of the old weight watchers skinny soup (basically low sodium stock with a can of no-salt-added tomato paste, and whatever non-starchy veggies you like) and am using that as the base to my suppers. i can add chicken, rice, beans, cheese, or any combo for a different dinner each night!

It sounds like we cool in a similar way I also use a lot of frozen bell peppers. Lately j have been crushing up frozen spinach (still in the bag) which results in super fine flakes that mixes nicely with rice!

My dinners have to be fast and kid friendly. Here is what we have about once a week.

1. Some sort of rice or pasta bowl. (this lets my picky toddlers pick what they want in it and saves me a headache)
2. Grilled chicken and a grilled veg (like asparagus)
3. Tacos. You can never go wrong on taco night.
4. Breakfast for dinner
5. Something crockpot...like I'll wrap big potatoes in tin foil and let them steam in the crockpot all day. Then we have potato bar. Again, I like to give people choices so they don't b!tch at me.
6. Pizza. For real. Pizza, like every friday.
7. Big family Sunday dinner to make leftovers...this is our biggest meal. Like a roast, whole chicken, a ham...something I can use the meat in the rest of the recipes during the week. this always includes a veg, starch, and is the one day of the week we have a dessert. (last week I made chocolate silken pie (with tofu instead of dairy)
