    I cooked 4 chicken breasts in the crock pot this weekend w BBQ sauce ( a recipe I found here), then shredded it & let them soak up the sauce. We used it for tacos, & on salads Now tonight we are using it in "stuffed peppers" with1/8 c of lofat cheese on top. There's still over 2 cups of chix left so plan to freeze the rest...

    I never thought of it in stuffed peppers. Great idea. Thanks!

    BTW - I went with veggie stir fry for tonight. It's really low calorie with cauliflower rice but during the week we don't eat as many calories during the day so we have room to use whole wheat noodles instead. I just don't cook as much noodles as I use to before the diet. :)

    I got some great ideas from this thread that I plan on working with next week. Thanks everyone.

    BBQ/Jerk turkey breast with sauteed red onion, broccoli and baked sweet potato. All for 520 cals, 5g fat and 70g protein.

    I have been converted to turkey breast for the moment due to it only being £7 a kilo when chicken breast is £10 a kilo. A kilo package usually lasts me six meals during the week.

    Grilled tilapia, garden salad and steamed broccoli with fresh cut pineapple for dessert :tongue: Haven't figured out what I will do for dressing yet, because I do not want to be over on my sodium :sad:

    Try lemon juice.

    Just lemon juice on the salad? Or do you mean for the fish?

    On the salad. As long as you aren't wanting something heavy, lemonjuice adds some tang to it and is pretty light. Goes well with cold chicken breast cut up on salad as well.

    Turkey burger n side salad is always a good end to my day while I've been dieting. I feel like I'm being bad when I really didn't eat bad at all.

    Favorite go to especially when I am short on time
    Turkey sausage- make little rustic meatballs out of it. Pan fry. Add garlic and basil. Add in a can of whole tomatoes, season with salt/ pepper. Splash of balsamic vinegar. Simmer while the water heats for your favorite pasta. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon while simmering. Super easy, Super tasty.
    Tonight will be probably chicken with red bell peppers and maybe some capers and some snow peas or asparagus .. not sure yet on the sides.
    Looking at everyones posts for ideas.

    It is, it is my favorite thing to eat when I go there, I realized today that I had all the stuff to make it so why not save 10 bucks and make it at home?
