What are your favorite homemade, calorie friendly, go-to dinners?

Shrimp stir fry with zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and baby corn. Italian baked chicken with tomatoes, onion, and broccoli over brown rice. Sweet potato hash with pork sausage, mushrooms, onion, and a poached egg.

I find lots of yummy stuff on skinnytaste.com then alter ingredients to what I have readily available.

Chili is a good one for me. I have experimented with a few different "turkey" chili recipes. You can have quite a good amount of them for about 300 calories and it's very satisfying. So I try to make a batch once a week.

All of them!

Seriously, I love food, and I make delicious dinners every day. Today I had pork chop, sweet potato mash with red chili, and green peas. Yesterday: Onion soup with brown lentils. Sunday: Beef chop, corn on the cob, oven roasted parsnips with olive oil, honey and sesame seeds. Saturday: Cheese on toast filled with pickles, onion and parsley. Friday: Burritos filled with ground chicken and red lentils. Thursday: Salmon, brown basmati w/soy sauce, green beans. Wednesday: Pasta shells with ricotta and peas.

I get most of my ideas from pinterest...as far as I'm concerned, when you're cooking from scratch and/or with minimally processed food stuffs, you're eating pretty healthy. I make all kinds of stuff...like all kinds...I don't really have a "go to" I guess...

tastespotting.com is and will always be my favorite place to find new meals!

Flank steak with green peppers and onions. Cook the steak. Set aside. Cook the peppers and onions. Set aside. Put steak back in pan with 1/3 cup each of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey. Reduce by half. Add back peppers and onions and stir until coated. Serve with rice. You can google this recipe as "Maria's Pepper Steak" which is the guide I used. We ate the heck out of this last night and I will make it again and again! Next time I'm adding mushrooms.

I found an awesome recipe in the Curves cookbook for chicken fajitas, without using the tortillas of course. The flavors blend so well, and it's really got the Mexican food taste down really well. It's a favorite of mine; I make it at least twice a month!
I also have all the Clean Eating cookbooks by Tosca Reno; she has some really great recipes in there, from appetizers to desserts, even cooking a healthy holiday dinner.
