Truly, honestly. Not your most impressive recipe :wink: Trying to get some real-life ideas.

Mine is chestnut mushrooms cooked with olive oil and garlic, some lettuce with balsamic vinegar, and a pitta bread with humous on the side. I've been trying to reduce my bread consumption, but it's Friday night and it's a treat... :smile:

    I'm going out for Italian. I will be eating garlic bread, maybe some minestrone soup, and probably either gnocchi or tortellini, followed by dessert. Most likely tiramisu or chocolate mousse. Oh! & cocktails! :drinker:

    Probably a modest slice of grilled slamon, a green salad, and a streamed veggie.

    Chicken breast baked with greek yogurt, parmesan, mustard and garlic on top. With a side of asparagus sauteed with garlic and a little olive oil. Super easy and super yum!

    A Morningstar Farms veggie BBQ "Riblet", green beans with slivered almonds, and a baked sweet potato topped with a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, some cinnamon and a couple hits of spray butter. Probably will have a couple vodka & ginger ales after dinner as I watch a movie or catch up on TV shows for the week. I like chillaxin on Friday nights.

    Not sure about dinner..but I had a fabulous lunch. I have a spiral slicer that makes pasta like strands out of zucchini...so I prepared some of that...sauteed with butter spray and seasonings...then topped it with some shrimps that I sauteed in Cajun seasonings. OMG so spicy...and so yummy...and only 255 cals/4gms carbs/30gms protein! Woot!

    Not impressive or fancy by any means but it's been my favorite this summer - 2 ears of fresh steamed corn on the cob, a fresh tomato sliced with a little salt, and a glass of skim milk. All for about 500 cals.

    I'm giving this recipe a try because it seems easy and colourful. Found in a Delicious magazine -


    Spanish fish stew

    Cook 1 large onion, 1 large stick of celery in 2 tbs of olive oil.

    Add 2 cloves garlic, 1 tsp paprika, 1 large capsicum and cook until soft and fragrant.

    Pour in 250ml white wine and reduce down slightly.

    Add 1 tin of tomatoes, pinch cayenne pepper, a few saffron threads, 400ml fish stock and salt if you like. Simmer for 10 minutes.

    Add 600g firm white fish fillets chopped and cook for 3 mins until just tender. Add 1 can of chickpeas and cook for 2 - 3 mins

    Serve with some fresh parsley and lemon, season as per taste.

    (Recipe - Bill Granger)

    Edit - I entered it into the recipe box and came up with 404 calories, 21 carbs, 15 fat, 37 protein

    Homemade stew, seven or so vegatables, a modest amount of ground turkey, a smalll amount of grains and some spice to keep it interesting. Maybe a piece of whole grain bread to top it off.

    We are having Turkey Chili Taco Soup (recipe from skinnytaste.com) and corn muffins. This will be my first time making the soup so I'm hoping it turns out well. Tomorrow I think I'm going to try a recipe I got off another thread. You take Archer Farms (Target) Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, chicken breast and canned pineapple and cook it in the crockpot. I plan to serve it over brown rice. First time making that too. I'm being adventurous this week. :happy:
