I'll probably be eating rotisserie chicken breast and vegetables. Maybe a small piece of cornbread. Not sure about the calories.

I'm having lentil and chickpea salad with lemon dressing and radishes, along with some mushrooms marinated in white wine and saffron. Total should be about 500 calories.

I am coming over to your house to eat it with you and make sure you never leave again and make sure if you have dessert it is pie not cake.

I had to look at the date 3 times to make sure this was not another old post of yours that is just a tease.

It's really really me in December of 2019. And pie is the best holiday dessert, so this is the one time of year where we're in perfect agreement!

Last night was brown rice, chicken breast, roasted broccoli and tomatoes, and a bagged mix of roasted root veggies from Trader Joe's drizzled all mixed together and drizzled with pesto. Tonight is french toast and syrup!!

Last night was quesadillas - goat cheese, monterey jack, black beans, corn, and bell pepper in a flour tortilla

Tonight will either be beef and green bean stir fry or chicken salad sandwiches.

All three meals are less than 500 calories each.

I'm coming to your house, too. Save a chair for me. Yum to the yum.

I'm either having oatmeal with blueberries and decaf coffee for dinner, or soup. Haven't decided. I'm a non-cook and will go with what's easier, as long as it's hot.

Oops, calories. About 300-400.

Sopa de Totilla con Pollo. Hecho a mano y en casa. Chicken Tortilla Soup, hand made at home (including the hand made tortillas).

GreenValli

Large salad: greens, carrots, red bell pepper, tomatoes, grated cheese, cucumber, ranch dressing;
1/2 of a ham and cheese sandwich; and pumpkin yogurt for dessert. 252 calories

Seems like a meager dinner especially on Christmas eve, but I am working this evening. Will go home and have a glass of wine with my husband.

I knew I should have taken a picture. One of my favorites it was very simple. A dinner salad, others had garlic bread. And the main event. Well there was a nice sale on. So we had Alaskan King Crab Legs with Garlic Lemon Butter. And had some friends over. For dessert I made Tiramisu, mine had no ladyfingers, everyone elses did. Everyone enjoyed all the food.

For dinner tonight we had vegetarian meatball subs with homemade marinara, and I had Italian nougat and caramel tea afterward. My husband had a bunch of Japanese candy and a Nerds rope (stocking stuffer from me).

Tonight is our Christmas dinner. My mom does all the cooking. As per our Polish tradition, there are no meat dishes to be had and she makes 12 different meals for the 12 apostles. Cannot wait. We sit down to dinner when the kids in the family spot the first star in the sky. Merry Christmas all!!!

PS. Anyone know how to track the dinner tonight? Is the food scale at the table over the top? Should I go there early and watch my mom prep all the dishes so that I can calculate whats in them?



















NOPE!!!!

You had me going for a minute there! My Mom would be so insulted if I brought a scale! She gets frustrated when I ask her to leave butter off my fish fillet, if I busted out a scale on Christmas I'd get smacked upside the head! Happy holidays!

Christmas Eve is our family celebration. We had ham with apple ginger chutney, scalloped potatoes, Armenian rice pilaf, croissants, peas, and my herb spring green pear salad. Dessert was German chocolate (parents just came back from Germany), lots of cookies, lemon bars, and peppermint ice cream. I'm uncomfortably full.

Something tasty🤣

EVERYTHING!!! Traditional Christmas dinner of turkey, roast potatoes, stuffing, Brussels, green beans, carrots and gravy followed by my sister's amazing home made Christmas pudding, and my trifle. Start counting calories again tomorrow lol.

acpgee

We do Christmas dinner on Boxing Day because that's the day friends can come around, seeing as there is no public transport in London on Xmas day. I will do home style Peking duck for tonight. Tomorrow will be Dickensian roast goose. It will be the white Christmas dinner because the sides are all white, bread and sausage meat stuffing, roast parsnips, roast chicory.

VegjoyP

Feast of 7 fishes Italian Tradition. Fish 1, 2, 3, 4. Wild dover sole, wild cod, wild red snapper, anchovy. Broccoli, cauliflower curry, paprika, plant based queso, savory, hot sauce dijon mustard.

You go to an Asian store and you buy puffed tofu lol I know it's fried one way or another. When you add it to a curry type dish it acts like a sponge. First time I tried I was blown away.

Thanks - it sounds delicious, I'm going to look for some to try it!

kshama2001

When work is crazy and/or I failed to plan dinner, we have breakfast food for dinner, so tonight we are having eggs, kielbasa, and potato puffs. Half an English muffin for me, a whole one for him. (He also gets more of everything else.)

kshama2001

Tomorrow will be more interesting: https://www.177milkstreet.com/recipes/stir-fried-pork-oyster-sauce-green-beans

I'm going to add ground turkey for more protein and serve over rice.

ReenieHJ

Trying to make up for my lack of veggies for the past several days. Had a nice big bowl of leftover roasted veggies for lunch, then a big green salad, with a few tomatoes/cucumbers/peppers thrown in, topped with a can of tuna fish(seeing as how I've been slacking with my protein lately too). Lol

jlhalley7835

I made some turkey burgers last night, about 40G protein, 3g of fat. Might have some veggies eggs and chicken/shrimp fried rice later since i still have 1900 cals left for today. Or i might bank them for a wedding tomorrow, not sure yet.

Homemade chili and cornbread (if my cornbread turns out, lol).
