    Chickpea Burgers with Cucumber Raita and Green Salad and some raspberries for dessert. YUM YUM YUM !

    I got this lovely recipe from a current Irish TV programme that is following four overweight people, who are put on an 8 week diet & fitness plan to lose weight. It has over 10,000 followers on facebook.

    The food plans are devised by Dr Eva Orsmond, she specialises in obesity and she sure knows her stufff. Her menus are all tasty!

    I made a wrap similar to the egg wraps that they serve at Starbucks.

    1 whole grain flatbread, spread w/ Laughing Cow Light cheese wedge + slice 2% cheddar
    3 oz spinach & 3 oz mushrooms cooked w/ 1/4 c. eggbeaters & 2 oz black forest ham

    Roll up the egg mixture on flatbread and enjoy!!

    I like this thread, fun to get some ideas from what everyone else is having.

    I made super-simple "Greek" Chicken.

    Threw some frozen chicken boobs in a glass pan with canned tomatoes, feta cheese and garlic. I usually add olives but this is Eat-Up-The-Fridge-Freezer-and-Pantry week so we'll see what kind of interesting concoctions I come up with as the week goes on.

    I'm having Broiled Salmon with Garlic Herb sauce, sauteed zucchini, oven roasted potatoes. yum yum!
  • so tonight will be 1 1/2 small thin piece of pork chop (baked) on a bed of 50/50 greens (spinach, etc), grape tomatoes with a little dash of kraft part skim milk cheese, and 3/4 cups of peaches and cream corn....this is a new meal for us, so i am hoping it all comes together LOL

    everynight i find myself putting together something new and hubby says the same thing: "I wish we would of started dieting a long time ago" LOL

    purple chicken is a recipe my grandmother made up over 40 years ago. it used to be a huge family secret, but someone must have given out the recipe because i have seen it in mags and online recently. it is canned cranberries, catalina island dressing and onion soup mix over chicken breast (i know that it sounds gross, but it is delish). it turns the chicken purple. it tastes so good with brisket too!

    Tuna Wrap - Tuna, a lil sesame oil, dried cranberries, light miracle whip, celery, onions, chopped carrots, fresh-ground pepper and a few bits of sun-dried tomatoes. Mix together, spread into a flatbread wrap, and enjoy. I just made it up with what I had handy(without thawing), but I like it.

    Stuffed Yellow Squash - haven't tried this yet, it's my own recipe and what I've "planned" - hope it turns out well

    Serves 6

    1 leftover chicken breast from the other night (chopped)
    2 cups leftover rice from the other night
    3 yellow squash sliced in two with insides scooped out (reserve insides)
    1 zucchini chopped
    2 slices bacon chopped
    1 cup diced tomatos (drained)
    2 egg whites
    3 T parmesan cheese
    1/2 c black beans
    1 cup broccoli chopped
    onion flakes, salt, pepper, garlic

    Cook all ingredients in a skillet to warm through - divide evenly amongst squash halves and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

    Turkey meatloaf, rice and baby carrots.

    I love Turkey meatloaf!
    I use this http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=567725 recipe from sparkrecipes.com
    it calls for BBQ sauce and a packet of ranch seasoning, but I've used Italian seasoning and marinara sauce! SO good either way!
