    Not sure this will help you or not but we're having a partial leftover dinner tonight. Yesterday I made a New England Boiled Dinner using a Half Pork Shoulder/Picnic. Since we had my FIL over, DH asked me to cook extra veggies. But even after we all stuffed ourselves and I sent FIL home with a huge bowl of leftovers, we have about 4 cups of boiled cabbage, potatoes, turnip, carrots, squash and zucchini left. Our tradition is to eat these leftover veggies with sausages of some kind. Haven't decided for sure which kind I'll be getting but I think either Brats or a locally made hot Italian sausage.

    Here are a couple other recipes I use in a pinch:

    http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/diner-meat-loaf-muffins-10000001160601/

    Or if it's nice out, get some bone-in center cut pork chops, let them sit in your favorite marinade (I like McCormick's Carolina Country) for about a half hour, slap them on the grill and serve with your fave side dishes.

    ETA: sorry, I didn't copy the 2nd link right - it's correct now

    Baked fish with brown rice & asparagus.

    I think it's more tasty than it seems to be spelled out...

    Tonight is pizza night and tomorrow night is a sad attempt at sheperds pie (long story but delish). Im leaving for vacation on Thursday and dont want to grocery shop so its kinda cheating cooking-wise.

    I was just thinking about that! Probably a stir-fry type thing with red potatoes, onions, peppers, mushroom, spinach, garlic and some other veggies.

    We're having King Prawn curry with roasted courgettes (zucchini), rice and poppadoms. Yum.

    Baked sweet potato with low fat soft cheese and a medley of herbed vegetables.
  • Rice with Yellow pepper, red onion, green onion, lime juice, cayenne pepper, paprika and cumin with tuna on the side that has green onion in it as well. Probably later I'll have some porridge with almond milk as a snack :)
  • Grilled steak with green peas and leafy greens.
  • Something with hamburger meat, maybe some pasta with meat balls?

    Burritos!!!
    Ground turkey, browned and taco seasoning mix added (i used about 1/3 of a packet of mild & a few shakes of the hot)
    Drain and rinse a can of black beans.
    Add to cooked ground turkey.
    I use the low carb, high fiber tortilla wraps.
    I usually add:
    Sour Cream
    Cheese
    Tomatoes
    Lettuce or Baby Spinach leaves
    Black Olives
    Jalapenos
    You can add what YOU like and leave out what you don't!!!!!!
    Usually runs about 350-400 calories for 2 BIG burritos!!!!!
    DELICIOUS!! And usually have enough left over for another 3 meals at least!

    I meant nothing inspiring here at MY HOUSE... I was already thinking I want to come to your house for dinner!!

    (It would be rude of me to say that about everyone's suggestions)

    Try this website. It is my absolute favorite : http://www.skinnytaste.com/
  • Dorm food! Specifically, beef and broccoli, brown rice, and maybe a crab rangoon or two...that's probably not so much inspirational as much as something to make you feel better about whatever you come up with. ;)

    Not sure yet.

    I'm giving my leftover pizza to my hubby. I think I may make some Bob's Red Mill high fiber cereal with cashew butter and honey...maybe some cottage cheese or yogurt with it....

    Or a cold cut sandwich. I dunno...Pretty boring night LoL
  • I think we're doing grilled lemon pepper chicken, chicken rice and vermicelli possibly with steamed cauliflower and broccoli on the side. :)

    I'm not totally certain yet, but I'm thinking maybe fried sweet potatoes with onion and baked orange roughy. Maybe some roasted brussel sprouts as well.

    Unless we decide to cook outside, then it will likely be grilled swordfish steaks and zucchini, and perhaps some sauteed kale with garlic.

    Nothing especially interesting here.

    I had 2 wild alaskan salmon fillets topped with philadelphia light garlic and herb cheese, some baby plum tomatoes, a green vegetable medley and further vegetables including broccoli, sugarsnap peas and carrots. I always get loads of vegetables with my dinner.

    My bad. I thought you were being funny. Is Southern California too far of a drive for dinner? come on over.

    If you are willing to share your lemon pepper chicken recipe, please message it to me. Always looking for new things to do with chicken.

    Go in your fridge, find some leftovers and make a stir fry. I like doing that.

    or I make an egg scramble with hash browns, some veggies and then a couple scrambled eggs.
