    We're having spaghetti.

    If you have Chicken out do a stir fry. We have Stir fry a couple of times a week.

    Go to allrecipes.com and then go to the "ingredients" section. Type in what you have or want/don't want. Great way to get recipe ideas.

    Hormel vegetarian 98% fat free chili and 1.5 potatoes (boiled):tongue: 340 calories

    I'm full and still have 600 calories ( I walked/jogged 5 miles today) to have a treat tonight:smile: --that salad for lunch certainly gives me enough greens:grumble:

    Are those homemade eggrolls? I always made homemade eggrolls but fried in lots of grease. I was just wondering the other day how to cut the fat/calories. I didn't know you could bake them!

    I'm having steak with corn, broccoli and onions!
    I cook it all together (with the steak cut up small) so it's like a sauce-less stir fry, I guess.

    I had 4 oz. chicken tenderloins - cooked in my microwave on my "micro grill".... as a side, I had 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese with a small tomato.

    Have you tried the new "microwave grill"? It's like a George Foreman, but for the microwave. It's fabulous! Easy to clean or stick it in the dishwasher.

    Comes with a cookbook with excellent recepies. I use it alot - great for one person......

    Yep! They're yummy! The Recipe is on Cooking Light's website. It's simply called Baked Eggrolls. There's also a dipping sauce but I don't really like that so I just make the eggrolls. You just spray them really good with cooking spray and they get crispy. Only 79 calories each (with the sauce!)

    I sprayed a pan with olive oil cooking spray, then lightly browned chicken strips.
    Then I added Frank's hot sauce, half cup. Fat Free chicken broth, half cup. A sprinkle of splenda brown sugar. bring the liquid to a boil and let it reduce down til it's kind of a glaze.
    Serve like buffalo wings with celery and low fat ranch or blue cheese.

    I made Red Baron's French Bread Pizza (1 pizza) for dinner with a diet pepsi. I've been craving pizza. I always eat too much of the regular pizza. These are great for me! :wink:

    I made chicken alfredo with rotini & tomatoes. Diced up some skinless chicken breast and cooked it in olive oil with some minced garlic. Added a can of Fire roasted tomatoes w/ garlic and a jar of Ragu light parmesan alfredo sauce. Stirred it all together and tossed it with some cooked Smart rotini noodles. Served it with a basic salad to get those veggies in. We havent had pasta in a LONG time, so this was SO filling! It made enough to have leftovers for the next couple days too :happy:

    I made the cheapest ones ever last week with wonton wrappers (only $4 for like, 100), dry coleslaw mix (sauteed w/onion), and ground turkey. Baked in the oven for 10 or so minutes and voila. Yummy low cal egg rolls.

    that's why I like this topic, cuz of simple things like that, too simple to post as a recipe but a great, yummy idea none the less. I will be trying that!:tongue:
