What are you making? I'm roasting a chicken with Rosemary and lemon, and making Swiss chard sautéed in coconut oil as a side.

Tonight, I have special plans. I (hope I) will receive my scale today so I can weigh things properly, and then I'll prepare 2 mega-pots, of about 6-8 portions each, of the following:
1) Chicken with lentils, olives, marmite cashews, boiled eggs, and feta cheese
2) Chicken with mushrooms, corn, black beans, chick peas and chili red sauce
What I do is get 2 packs of chicken breast fillets, boil them, and then separate/cut them in very thin pieces (so they can absorb other flavors better). Half I use for recipe 1, and half for recipe 2. Which reminds me, I should write down the recipes tonight when I execute them!
I know they sound pretty weird but hear me out!
1) Lentils are a very Mediterranean food, high in iron. I am Greek, and my people have mastered the art of making lentils a sexy food! It is common knowledge in Greece that, if you want your body to absorb the iron in the most efficient way, you should have a boiled egg with it. Additionally, nothing goes with lentils more than olives and feta cheese. The chicken adds a bit of protein, and (I am guessing, this will be my first time trying this addition) the marmite cashews will give a crunchy tasty kick.
2) Black beans are one of the most healthy foods, featuring on every list on the internet. Corn and mushrooms are 2 of my most favorite foods, also low on calories. Chick peas may not be as nutrient, but they are great for sustaining that "full" feeling for hours, and chili is one of the most effective metabolism-boosters out there. It's only fair to add them all in one mix with some chicken and red sauce!
I put the mixes in separate freezer bags, and they last me for weeks. I can then add them to lettuce salad, tortillas, tacos, or just simply enjoy them as they are. The portion sizes are 200-250 grams, average calorie count for each portion is between 325-350 calories, which makes it awesome for lunch or dinner!0 -
Tonight I'm making a rack of lamb, cauliflower rice with lime and cilantro, and sauteed spinach. I cook for my family of five (myself, husband, two teenagers, and my mom who lives with us). I try to make food most everyone will enjoy, although now my daughter has decided she is a pescatarian. She will get beans or something instead of lamb ;-)0

I made Pizza Chicken, which is one of my favorite recipes from Denise Austin's Jump Start book. I also made carrots, green beans and whole wheat couscous. Also, while the oven is on - which does not happen often in summer - I am making a vegetable tian - roasted vegetables - yellow squash, tomato, potato, onion I added a sweet potato. I made it once before with zucchini, but I didn't have any tonight. Found that one on Pinterest!0

Tonight I am going to eat healthy and happy. Baked tiliapia , roasted Italian seasoned vegetables ( yellow and zuchinni squash, red and green peppers, mushrooms), along with a small bag of baked chips for some crunch and salt. And no calorie peach tea.
If I walk my dog before it gets too late this evening I can have vanilla yogurt and blueberries with a handful of granola for dessert.0 -

After spending the weekend on the island with my good girlfriends I am trying to get back to healthy eating. Tonight I made a spinach salad topped with tuna, mushrooms, dried cranberries, grape tomatoes and some feta cheese. It's very filling and healthy!0

Once a month on a friday we get burgers. That friday, was today. I get a small cheese burger wrapped in lettuce rather than a bun, with sauted onions and mushrooms, pickles and the small fry.0

Tonight's meal was awesome!!! If you love fish, it just may be a must try!!!
3 - 4 oz Tilapia Fillets "Walmart"
4 - Tablespoons Soy Sauce (A little high in sodium, however I do not do this often)
4 - Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
A few shakes of the Onion Powder
A few shakes of the Garlic Powder
1/4 of an Onion (Chopped into bite size pieces
I began soaking the Tilapia in the marinade when they were first removed from the freezer. The Tilapia marinated in the mixture for approximately an hour before the homemade foil tray they were sitting in was placed in a grill. The Tilapia was smoked in the grill for approximately 15 minutes.
The Tilapia was absolutely awesome!!!
Combine the grilled Tilapia with a salad and I was in heaven...0 -

Tonight is going to be a hard one. First day of school and my son picked cheesy tatter-tot hotdish. there is nothing healthy even when I sub in greek yogurt and swap things out. Hoping to offset it with steamed veggies.
Love the tilapia recipe. I might have to try that this week!!!0 -

Over the campfire, we are having Hobo Dinners, consisting of lean sirloin burger, a slice of cheese, sweet onions, red potatoes, organic carrots, red bell peppers, frozen green beans-thawed, mushrooms, and added from my garden, tomatoes, red pepper-hot and yellow banana pepper-medium hot.
Above is all double wrapped in foil and placed into the fire pit to cook. Takes about 35-45 minutes and din din is done! You can do the same meal at home, minus the fire, in your own oven. Clean-up is a breeze. Remember to spray non-stick cooking spray on the foil before adding the ingredients to the foil. :flowerforyou:0 -
Oh the days of Cheesy-Tater-Tot Casserole.... How I miss thou!!!! LoL
This evening was my cheat day, so you gotta read my diary to find the damage....0 -
I'm making chicken and broccoli alfredo for the family, so I will probably just have some broccoli and chicken before I put the alfredo sauce in. I may pick up a little brown rice to have with it.0

I have a little bit of roast leftover from last night. I shredded it and will add a little BBQ sauce. Will have sandwiches on Orrowheat Sandwich Thins. Not sure what else I'll serve. Maybe some baked steak fries since I've got calories left.0
