Mediterranean quinoa (spinach, tomato, feta, olive oil) and butternut squash and goat cheese gratin with a chicken Andouille sausage.

I'm sure my husband would not eat the butternut squash and goat cheese gratin but it sounds amazing and I would love a recipe if you would share!

The gratin is super easy. I just cube a butternut squash, put it in a casserole with a half cup of almond milk, sprinkle with about 6-8 ounces of crumbled goat cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake at about 400 til done (around 40-60 min, depending on how big the squash was). If you want, you can add panko on top to make a crispy topping, but I usually don't waste the calories. Sometimes I make this with gorgonzola instead of goat cheese and it's also tasty, but a lot saltier, so don't add as much salt. Sage or nutmeg are also good ways of mixing it up.

Dessert tonight, I made a cup of hot cocoa and froze it, then blended it with half a banana, vanilla almond milk and whipped cream. Super yummy!

Thanks! Is the almond milk for flavor or what you have on hand?

Yesterday evening's supper was:

2 Lofthouse Cookies and a glass of Stars & Stripes Root Beer

JaneECS

Bubble and squeak (baked, not fried) and grilled chicken

I *LOVE* bubble and squeek! I always use it to get rid of leftover cabbage and carrots.

Tonight dinner: grilled chicken breast, potatoes (haven't decided how I want to cooke them), and stir fry veggies.

Not sure, some sort of turkeyburger helper again. Have to use up the ground turkey somehow(just an excuse right now so that I can buy more).

victoire713

Ended up making another new dish. Cheese Ravioli and tortellini with sauce. It was really tasty.

Busy day and too tired to cook. A salad with balsamic vinegar premade from Winco. Not pretty enough to take a picture of.... and I'm just too tired to get up and get the cell phone.

Our local hospital is having their Christmas party tonight. The menu was a salad, green beans, baked potato and a steak. I only had half the steak, but ate everything else.



I had half a cup of "lite" chocolate ice cream with 45g of Vanilla Greek yogurt and 75g Plain Greek yogurt. I like the contrasting flavors, so I don't stir it up all that well.

We went out for Italian tonight. I had a chicken pizza with mushrooms, onions, cheese and garlic. Super yummy! I ate 2 pieces and boxed up the rest. Lots leftover.

victoire713

I had half a Tai Pei boxed meal(that u microwave). Tasted like my freezer, so only ate a bit of the rice that was with it and the beef and the broccoli(it was the Pepper Beef one). I had water to drink(a whole 32oz Gatorade bottle of it).

I'm still hungry, so I will have to have something later.

Supper tonight was a little of everything. I started with some of Margie's creamy cheddar broccoli soup. I had brought home several baked potatoes from last night's party, so she added one to the soup.



Then had some of her leftover Mexican chicken and rice with Pico De Gallo with fresh tomato slices. We bought a case of the tomatoes just before the first killing frost from Jackson Farms. A few have gone bad, but they are still better and cheaper than grocery store tomatoes.



I finished up with a bowl of the pinto beans from the other day. All very good. I hear there is some pudding in the fridge, but I'm too full to check it out right now.

Nothing but protein

A piece of the chicken pizza from last night; a salad of mixed greens, mixed sprouts, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, pecorino cheese and garlic salt; and a couple clementines.

We had pizza but I made sure to eat great for breakfast and lunch.

I have no clue what's for supper tonight. When I know I will most definitely post it.

I've been in a salad mood this week. Made a big ol' salad of mixed greens, mixed sprouts, chopped turkey, hardboiled egg, cucumber, mini portobello mushrooms, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red grapes, pecorino cheese, Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime seasoning and a little garlic salt; sprouted grain english muffin with a little peanut butter and pumpkin butter.

I made a shake of three medium bananas, 1/2 cup dried cherries, a tablespoon if chia seeds, 2 cups of non-fat yogurt, ice of course. I wish I had chopped the cherries and most of them were too large to eat thru a straw.

Mrsnelson2004

lipton onion soup with thin sliced purdue chicken topped with swiss cheese.

RHPSgirl1984

Turkey tacos

Rockerbabe131

Had a 6" Sweet Onion Chicken Terryaki Sandwich from Subway on wheat bread With spinach, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers! YUM YUM!

MyM0wM0w

I ordered in Chinese. Chicken and Garlic green beans (sauce on the side) with steamed rice. (and a small side of beef fried rice for lunch at work tomorrow. I love cooking but some days it's the last thing in the world I want to do.

Our local Piggly Wiggly {grocery store} had their Christmas party tonight. The menu was smoked pork loin, grilled chicken leg and thigh quarters, pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad and a roll. {I saved the thigh and most of the leg for tomorrow} It was all good, but the pork loin was very, very tasty. So tender. I did go back down and get a couple more slices of it for tomorrow when they were putting all the leftovers away.



I had firm resolve that I was not even going near the dessert table. But when they came up to the office for me to turn the mic back on, {damn you, Dirty Santa} I was drawn toward the cheesecake. But I skipped breakfast, then ate my normal breakfast at lunchtime, so I was still under, even before I log my cardio.

Tonight we had baked potatoes with butter & sour cream and a massive chopped salad (lettuce, kale, carrots, cabbage mix). My husband made sesame glazed tofu for his salad while I had 1/2 of a polish sausage with mine. After, a square of Ghirardelli dark intense toffee and a couple of sour gummi bears ;-)

Bought myself a whole rainbow trout from HEB. Wish I could have it more often, but they're a little too costly for my budget.

A cup of homemade black-eyed peas and a fruit salad (raspberries, strawberries, banana, pecans and whipped cream).

MaryCS62

Smothered pork chops with thyme (myrecipes.com, 145 cal!!), sweet potato, green beans & tomato/cucumber salad

Friday night I went to a concert with some girlfriends so we ate at a bar so that we could get in and out quickly. We decided to just do appetizers - potato skins, chicken tenders, spinach artichoke dip, and thai chili shrimp. Oh and beer.

Saturday had a holiday party so there were a lot of appetizers: buffalo chicken dip, meatballs, sliced brats, cheese and crackers, 7 layer dip, cookies. Oh and wine.

Sunday my 6 year old son had a homework assignment to help prepare a meal that reflected a holiday tradition from his ancestors. We decided to do ravioli, which is what my mother in law always made for Christmas Eve dinner. We just did frozen ravioli and a jar of sauce with a loaf of premade garlic bread so that he could really cook it all himself, but it was fun to have him in the kitchen. My youngest son got jealous of the time in the kitchen with mommy so he insisted on putting on the apron after dinner and making some break and bake cookies with me. Nothing we made was particularly complex but we had a lot of fun and I need to do that more often with the kids.
