Hello all! 
I would like us to share ideas to help answer the question "what to eat for dinner ?" (or for breakfast, or snacks...).
What are your favorite healthy foods and meals ???
Here are mines :
- bananas!
(well... half a banana... I give the other half to my kids! ;P)
- peanut butter (it's healthy, right ?! I take the 25% less fat...)
- baby carrots (great as a snack when I just CRAVE EATING ANYTHING!!!)
- whole-wheat pastas (always better than "normal" pastas :P)
- cheestring (for the convenient size... only 60 calories per stick!)
- roasted chicken breast meat
- salmon or other fish
- Arctic Garden California Style veggies (with only one tablespoon of Cheezwhiz... 40 cal)
- my homemade chili or spaghetti sauce (with lots of veggies!
- bell peppers
- ...

Being a prediabetic, and married to a Type 1 diabetic, we eat extremely low carb. Our faves include:
- Dreamfields pasta with broiled chicken
- Broccolli
- Cod
- Green beans
- Buena Vida low-carb tortilla shells with low-fat cheese and chicken
If anyone has any other low carb recipes, I'd love to hear them.

A food discussion, my favorite!
I am a veggie girl. I love brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, zuccini, squash and so on and so on. I love Sargento Light String Cheese, taste like the normal ones but only 50 cals. Planters energy mix, 180 cals has nuts, pretzels and chocolate! Oh and Babybell Cheese, I melt them on sandwiches or on egg whites. Yummy yummy yummy! I could go on and on.0 -
I found this idea on Pinterest about making a menu for the house for everyday of the week. So I have been using this method in the home. I cook for 5 days of week and something different each day. I have recieipes in my food diary if anyone wants to take a look. I get alot of my recipes from Allrecipes.com
My favorite dishes are: 1) Balsamic Baked Tilapia 2) Grilled Chicken Wraps 3) Baked Turkey Meatball and Garden Spaghetti 4)Shoyu Chicken.
heres the link for the menu board you can make in your own home and implement it. My daughter and husband love knowing whats on the menu a head of time and it makes planning a WHOLE lot easier!
