I am always interested in seeing what other people make/eat/fry/whatever for dinner. It gives great ideas. I will eventually steal what you write and twist it to make it my own, but I still need ideas!

    ...a Southwestern Salad I made myself.

    Romaine, sweet corn, black beans, salsa, avocado, little bit of cheese and a squeeze of fresh lime juice across the top.

    Also had a small turkey tenderloin wrapped in bacon. It was leftover from a kabob. Small it was, but it was bacon.

    I made a strange, delicious soup with leftovers that I had.

    It consisted of:

    2/3 c. lite coconut milk (Taste of Thai) (100 cal)
    1/3 c. quinoa (75 cal)
    ½ c. Ragu (no sugar added) (60 cal)
    1/8 tsp curry powder (cal count?)
    1 cup broccoli (50 cal)

    It was so good!!

    And only 285 calories :)

    Salmon filet marinated in a soy sauce brown sugar mix, alongside some quinoa. Tonight will be leftover salmon on a leafy green salad.

    Marinade here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-salmon-i
    Meant for 6 servings, but I did two.
    I also used Olive Oil instead of veggie oil and added a bit of garlic powder to the mix.
    I didn't do the lemon pepper or salt and used low sodium soy sauce

    Grill or bake in foil packet for 15-20 or until done.

    If I were smart and thought ahead, I would have saved some of the marinade from before adding the fish and reduced it to put over the quinoa later. Next time!

    Last night...not typical. My husband and I ran 9 miles with our training group, then came home and hit the Lean Cuisine, supplemented by bananas and some kind of vanilla protein drink.

    Tonight...not typical, either. We're going out for barbecue. I'm having a half rack of ribs, cole slaw, and green beans cooked with bacon.

    Tomorrow night, though, I'll actually cook. Planning on chicken breast, asparagus, and baked sweet potato.

    Last night I had tuna cakes (tuna + breadcrumbs + egg + grill them) and some smashed/broiled red potatoes (boil them until almost done, smash them on cookie sheet, bit of oil, seasoning, then broil to get the tops/edges crispy).

    It was supposed to be tacos with homemade chilli, homemade guacamole and sour cream. But when I took the chilli out the microwave I realised I had defrosted bolognaise.....so it was bolognaise with tacos and guacamole.

    Last night: Broccoli Turkey Casserole - http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Broccoli-Turkey-Casserole
    Tonight: Rachael Ray's Buffalo Chicken Chili - http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/buffalo-chicken-chili
    This weekend: Loaded Potato and Buffalo Chicken Casserile - http://bestlife4moms.weebly.com/5/post/2012/05/loaded-potato-buffalo-chicken-casserole.html

    Soooo much sodium in the Brocoli Turkey Casserole, so next time will make my own cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups.

    Hmmm, I wonder how it would work out if I freeze 10-ounce batches of these soups. Anyone tried it?
