What's for dinner?

Oooh, you guys doing whole chickens... you've inspired me to go take one out of the freezer for tomorrow.

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

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.

bekdavis

sweet potatoes, seared pork chops, steamed broccoli.

nothing exciting here tonight.

spicy pork and rice

take 1 pork tenderloin, cut into cubes, brown in 1 T canola oil, brown 1/2 yellow onion, add can low sodium diced tomatoes, can low sodium (rinsed and drained) black beans, 1 package lower sodium taco seasoning mix and 1 bay leaf. Simmer for an hour, serve over brown rice and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. ( I use full fat cheese, tastes better).

I think tonight is going to be easy: Jenni-O turkey burgers, served on a 100 calories sandwich round with all the veggie fixins for the burger. Side of cottage cheese might be good. I like to use Free 1000 Island from Kraft on my burger: tastes like McDonald's special sauce.

I'm having the following throw together protein boost for dinner. My meal planning fell apart today and what I did eat wasn't my preferred ratio of carbs to protein so I'm trying to make up for it.

1/4 c lentils
1/4 c barley
2 cups water
1 boneless, skinnless chicken thigh
1/8 teaspoon of salt
+/- 1/4 tsp of:
garlic powder
onion powder
cumin
black pepper

bring water to boil and add all ingredients stirring to mix spices
bring to boil and reduce heat (I am using #2 on my small burner electric stove)
cover and let simmer stirring occasionally until barley and lentils are cooked (not sure how long as I've never done this before)

Hopefully it will taste as heavenly as it smells.

FYI - ratio of grain to water is 1:4
