So its Mexican night at our house. Splurging with a 'taco' salad, using a small amount of multigrain chips with a huge salad of musclin, endive and some coleslaw bagged mix thrown in for colour. Cutting up some peppers, chunky salsa, small amount of part skim shredded mozza, fat free sour cream, mexican black beans (done up in skillet with cumin and chili powder) and some chicken (bbq'ed with some taco seasning then cut into strips). I also made my first ever batch of guacamole too, with two avocadoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, hot peppers, yellow bell pepper, canned tomatoes and a few generous splashes of hot sauce. Its so yummy. I have 650 calories left for dinner plus have to my 40 min circuit cardio video yet for another 400 calories. Not sure what my portions will be but at least i have the calories today to have a 'healthy' but restaurant-like meal!

What's the best homeade dinner you've looked forward to lately?

    Homemade pizza (dough and all!) last night - half of a 12 inch pizza (4 large slices) for just under 600 calories - SO good. Pizza Hut's got nothing on me! :wink:

    I'm making chili and honey bread - both homemade :tongue:

    I love making taco salad, we just had it earlier this week! I used baked tortillas and bagged spring mix, avocado, salsa, light sour cream, refried beans and extra lean ground beef browned with taco seasoning and lowfat shredded cheddar on mine.
