    My hubby bought me an electric pressure cooker and its the best thing ever! I throw in a pear, a butternut squash a can of FF chicken broth, a chopped pepper, salt and pepper to taste and in 6 minutes it is cooked super soft and I puree it with a hand mixer adding a small cup of heavy cream. Its MARVELOUS!! AND makes a lot! I can eat on it all week with some FF croutons. YUMMO!

    Salmon -- not sure how I'm preparing it yet. Probably baked with some kind of seasonings or sauce. Crash hot potatoes (new potatoes boiled, lightly mashed, then baked -- MMMM!), and maybe some roasted carrots. I'm not sure my oven can cook all of that at once though, so I might have to make something on the stove top. :laugh:

    All recipes ten minute szechuan chicken. Only 206 calories per serving. That with brown rice and a vegetable put you at only like a 400 calorie dinner.

    I'm having leftovers - I made a lightened up version of Zuppa Toscana (soup) from Olive Garden. It has 1/2 lb spicy sausage, 4 small russet potatoes, 1 can of chicken broth, water, 1 cup of heavy cream, diced garlic, salt, pepper and a bunch of kale. It made 10 servings (about 1.5 cups each) @ 200 calories per serving. So I'm having that with some homemade bread, light butter spread and honey! Sooo delicious and the whole dinner is only 400 calories.

    2 fillets of smoked river cobbler (fish) with carrots and parsnips.

    The whole meal is steamed.

    I steam all my vegetables, so they retain their nutrients better.

    I put a whole chicken in the crockpot, so we'll have that! I'll make roasted potatoes for the kids/husband and I'll have roasted snap peas with shallots. Something else too, just not sure what!

    I am making a beef and vegetable (corn, green beans, carrots, sweet peas, diced tomatoes, and butter beans) soup in the slow cooker. I usually just throw whatever veggies I have in there. It has been cooking away since this morning so I can't wait for dinner :heart: :love:

    I've got crock-pot chicken cacciatore being brewed at home. Just need to cook the whole-wheat noodles (and only eating 75g each not the 310 cal 85g, saves 40 cals and carbs) when I get there and dinner is done!

    This is the first time I use my crock on a weekday so I’m excited! I used it 2x's since Christmas but on a weekend just to watch how long it really was going to take to cook. It serves 8 but I only make meals for 2 in it so I wanted to see how the rules would change it not being 1/2 full as recommended.

    I have slow cooked chicken thighs and legs in a crocked pot with ragu - tradition and added my own vegetables - mushroon, tri-color peppers, red onio,n garlic etc. I will serve over wheat pasta and light salad on the side with homemade salad dressing. I usually do bread for my son and husband - but I skip the bread.

    Some formulation of either grilled or baked chicken and steamed veggies. Haven't really plotted anything specific yet, lol!

    I have beef stew in the crockpot at home. It has been a lot of the crockpot with my boys in basketball right now. It is much nicer though to have the dinner done than to get home and scramble. I eat way healthier this way.
