    When I'm at a loss for something to cook, I go to skinnytaste.com, they have some awesome recipes, simple and easy and they give you the nutritional information and weight watchers points values...great site to check out.


    Skinnytaste.com has the best recipes - their chicken parm is SO good.

    I think it's homemade turkey soup tonight (it was Thanksgiving in Canada and we had enough guests for dinner that the soup is the only leftover!)

    We're making pizzas on low carb tortillas - they are GREAT and you can use a ton of different toppings and not eat a lot of calories or carbs!

    I have a crockpot full of Santa Fe Chicken (from skinnytaste.com's recipe list) waiting on me. I can't wait to get home. My apartment is going to smell delicious!

    I use Pinterest to make my weekly grocery lists. We don't eat the same thing twice in like 3 weeks, I love it! They have great ideas!!! I also tweak a lot of stuff to be healthier! :)

    As far as tonight goes.. I'm going to a Mexican restaurant with a friend, so it'll be a grilled chicken taco salad without the shell for me :) Easy enough to make at home, though!

    Either a grilled chicken salad (I forgot I was going to make that for dinner, then ordered one for lunch). Or maybe BBQ chicken with a side salad.

    Salad, Chili, and a Pillsbury dinner roll. I don't feel like cooking, so I'm declaring it to be Leftover Night. :tongue:

    Baked pumpkin. Get a little pie pumpkin cut it in half and seed it. To each side add 1 egg, a little milk, a little flour or baking mix, nutmeg and cinnamon, mix together and bake. It's delicious. You can add raisins too. With raisins it's about 300 calories per serving. (makes 2)

    Pork chops on the Foreman grill (I put Butt Rub on them, which I lol at every time I think of that seasoning, but it is all bbq yummy) and corn on the cob.

    Here's a link to a creation of mine. A couple caveats: It can be spicy, so if you're not a fan of the flame, cut back on the crushed red pepper and jalapeno. I also make extra seasoning and store the extra so I don't have to rummage through all my spices every time I make this stuff. Cut back on the cheese to eliminate some of the calories.

    Tin Foil Chicken and Rice

    2 cups uncooked brown rice (yields about 5 cups cooked)
    2 pounds chicken breast (or tenderloin for convenience)
    4-6 tbsp Butter
    1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix (Box contains two packets, you can use both if you want extra flavor, but adds sodium)

    Cook the Rice as prescribed. Line a 9" x 13" cooking dish with aluminum foil and then cut the chicken breast into strips and lay them on the bottom of the pan. Preheat oven to 350. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the butter and onion soup mix and then spread over the top of the chicken. Cook in the oven for about one hour (times will vary, just uncover some of the chicken and cut a few open to make sure they are cooked through. Enjoy!

    I made both of these last night for lunches and dinners for the rest of the week.
