    I've never had Talapia - is it mild? Like a white fish?

    Chicken, broccoli and brown rice - my staple dinner.

    Tilapia is phenomonal. Its a really mild white fish, and its one of the few fish you can eat every day and not have to worry about toxins and pollution. Plus its next to impossible to screw up, its cheap, and its good for you :)

    I used this recipe:
    http://video.about.com/lowfatcooking/Sweet-Potato-Fries.--6F.htm

    Sadly it doesn't list the nutritionals, but I grabbed a half cup of fries and figured that was a serving. They're gooooooooooood. I used garlic, mrs. dash, cinnamon, and salt to season and egg beaters to make them crunchy.

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick lengthwise strips and toss with olive oil.

    Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and arrange potatoes on baking sheets.

    Bake potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on bottom.

    Turn potatoes over and bake about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown all over.

    Sprinkle with salt and serve.

    Had Mom over for dinner, so had a bit of a treat. Homemade Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, and split a can of Chunky Slow Roasted beef with mushrooms soup 3 ways. And 1/2 cup of Fried Apple Ice Cream for dessert. The whole meal was about 600 cal.

    And I still have 400+ cal. to eat! :ohwell:

    But it was yummy, and a nice break from chicken!

    My Dad's headed back to California tonight so we had our "big" meal at noon.

    Two glasses of water and a huge salad (lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and mushrooms) before I dug into the ridicuously huge size stouffers lasagna my fiance brought home. I had to eat a lot of salad and water before hand because that lasgna is a big weakness of mine. I did good though I ended up with a serving and a half 470 cals just for the lasagne. Now what to do with all these leftovers? Its a good thing my fiance can eat!

    made turkey sunday I was suppose to only eat the turkey and vegetables but somehow the stuffing wound up on my plate :wink:

    Tonight the family wants enchiladas. It is so difficult to "diet" when you have to cook for the family. I try to cook healthy but???????
    I might take the seasoned chicken and put it on a salad instead of in the tortilla.
