Recipes, Meal Planning

The other recipe thread never materialized with actual recipes so here's a start.

These are a few that have become my favorites in my last month with MFP. Hope others can benefit. These are meals that I can make ahead and put into containers that have about 400-500 calories each. If they don't already I set them up for 8-10 servings.

Meals

Giada's Roman Chicken: http://goo.gl/XPqce

Steak Pizzaiola: http://goo.gl/RLuXB

Roasted Pork Chops & Vegetables: http://goo.gl/PIiaB

I can't figure out how to share the recipes I've entered but if anyone can tell me (or wants them) I've also got a great Jeff Smith Teriyaki Chicken and my favorite Baked Ziti that I'd be happy to share.

Sweets

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies: http://goo.gl/ognAX

I'm more a meal guy and I'm trying to wean off of the sweets so I'd be very interested in other meal recipes. Those that feature a meat and vegetable combination are particularly useful for me.

    Thanks for starting this thread. The other thread became an exercise only discussion.

    I'm following a low carb approach so bear that in mind with what I'm going to present. One of my goals for this 50-day challenge is to plan out two meals a week. What that has morphed into is to actually develop and/or learn, and try out 2 new recipes each week. For this week I am planning the following:

    Low(er) carb Chocolate Mousse: lots of calories. Not as much carbs. It has potential; but I messed up on the execution the first time I tried it. I'm not the most proficient when working with chocolate.

    Coffee infused whipped cream. Turned out fantastic. Very low carb. Can have a very intense (or not) coffee flavor.

    Quiche Lorraine with Almond meal crust. Haven't made this yet; probably make it tonight. Going to throw in some veggies for some more nutrients and fiber. Should be great to make ahead of time for a quick breakfast. I'll post it to allrecipes once I have it together.
