I'm planning my shopping list for Friday, and I thought it would be fun to see everyone's favorite go-to recipe for a bit of inspiration. I don't eat beef/pork, so chicken/turkey/meatless recipes are always appreciated, but feel free to share your fave no matter what it is. :)

Taco Salad:

Iceberg lettuce
Ground turkey/beef
Reduced-sodium taco seasoning
Light Catalina dressing
Light cheddar -- cubed or shredded
A hand full of nacho chips/Doritos

Brown the ground turkey/beef, and add the taco seasoning according to package directions. Tear up lettuce into a big bowl, and add as much/little of the other ingredients as you'd like...I'm not a measure'er.

    Oh yeah, anything Mexican is good with me. The hotter the better. My new favorite is from a new weight watchers cook book that just came out, A-Z Veggies. I made a over fried baked chicken. It called for drum sticks but I will use breast next time. You whip up a tbsp of miracle whip and dijon mustard with spices, paprika, cayenne, dash, salt. Lather that on the skinless chicken then roll the chicken in bread crumbs (trader joes!) - over 425 until it's done, about 25-35 minutes. Yum! Oh the recipe was about broccoli so I steamed some on the side. And threw in ONE sweet potato cut into fries, lightly oiled with salt and pepper. Perfect yummy dinner.

    Tuna Salad:

    2 - 3 cans of tuna*
    Mayonnaise
    16 oz of Pasta*
    Radishes
    Lettuce

    Boil the pasta until tender. Rinse with cold water and ice cubes until chilled. Shred as much lettuce as you want into a large bowl. Drain the water off the tuna and add to the lettuce. Add cooled pasta. Chop the radishes and add to the bowl. Add desired amount of Mayo and mix all ingredients together. I add Mayo until everything is lightly covered/moist. Sometimes I add pepper to the top after I dish up a bowl.

    * Or less depending on how many people you are serving or if you want a lot of leftovers

    Love me some pasta salad. I always top it off with a bit of paprika.
