Tossed a pork roast in the crock pot this morning with some vegetables. Not the leanest protein but not too shabby.

:happy: I love the eatbetteramerica recipes!
I was getting so bored with the dishes I'd been making and there are a lot of good (and tasty ) recipes there!

I am going to make Italian pork chops and vinegar peppers with roasted potatoes - I have loin chops, boneless, and will brown them in evoo seasoned with some Sazonador Total and salt and pepper and serve them with the vinegar peppers over them and roasted potatoes tossed in evoo with seasonings.

Pan seared salmon, green giant healthy heart (pearled barley, sugar snap peas, and jullian carrots in an herb olive oil sauce- it's amazing!), steamed green beans and a nice glass of vino.

Sorry, double post.

Turkey chili that is cooking in the crockpot! Love coming home to a hot cooked dinner

MAKE CHICKEN WITH BROWN RICE AND STEAMED VEGGIES. SUPER EASY! BROWN RICE IS SUPER FILLING AND VERY HEALTHY! ONLY THING IS. ITS NOT LIKE REGULAR RICE, IT TAKES 45 MINUTES TO COOK!
PORTION CONTROL. EAT SMALL PORTIONS!

You can also buy instant 5min brown rice! Great stuff!!

Baked Tilapia with steamed veggies, my husband is having mashed potatoes with his

Oven baked sweet potates, turkey breast, salad.

steamed broccoli, whole wheat pasta with chicken, a drop of olive oil and some parm cheese.

Basic Crepe recipe
1 cup flour
2 eggs (you can use egg beaters)
½ cup milk (regular lowfat or skim)
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt (or Mrs. Dash)
2 Tablespoons butter melted (or you can use EVOO)
In large bowl mix flour and eggs gradually add milk and water stirind to combine and salt and butter beat until smooth

Heat a lightly oiled fry pan (I use a 7 inch one) you can use Pam instead of oil pour or scoop batter into skillet (I use a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop) tilt pan in circular motion until batter coats surface evenly.
Cook crepe for about 2 minutes per side or until bottom is lightly browned

These can be kept warm in the oven until you finish making all of the crepes and are ready to stuff.

Sea food filling

Servings
1 cup Crab (fresh or canned)
½ cup shrimp (fresh or canned0
Green onions (chopped and soften)
½ teaspoon garlic (chopped)
Big squeeze of lemon
Soften garlic and onion in a pan (you can use Pam or a bit of evoo)
When soft add rest of ingredients and mix (you can also add celery, mushroom’s green pepper anything you want use you imagination )
Now here come the fun part ( you can stuff the crepe with just this and you have 111 calories per crepe) but you can play to your hearts continent) you can add cheese (light cream cheese melted is yummy) you can add a light white sauce or pesto or salsa) divide in to 12 servings sizes and put in the crepe and roll. Now depending on what you added to the stuffing mixture just top it with something that matches I like to make a light hollandaise sauce ( that’s if I kept the filling more on the plain side)
So 2 crepes and a big old salad and you have dinner for under 4oo cals and that’s on the high side and you jazzed it up.
This recipe is like giranimals (mix and match baby)
Have fun
