    Maybe add some peppers or other spices to your meals?
    Just a suggestion.

    this sounds nasty but my mom makes a great turnip green soup- it has polish sausage in it.

    Ive got this for my lunch today - Made it last night. You can freeze it (if you use veg stock)
    It will be my lunch for a few days this week! :0) Not really low in Calories. But very nice.

    You can't beat a good stew in the winter. I make mine with heaps of veggies (no potato) and lean meat. I put a can of chopped tomatoes in there, a couple of bay leaves, some beef stock, some seasoning and normally a pinch of cayenne pepper as I like a bit of spice. Add water - you don't need a lot as the food 'shrinks' while it cooks and it will end up watery. Leave it in the slow cooker (or crock pot for you americans) all day and when I come home from work it's done. I sometimes thicken it up with a few gravy granules. Makes a low calorie but super hearty and filling dinner!

    This is one of my faves, although I vary it quite a bit, by using beans instead of potatoes and adding extra green leafy veg (kale or spinach) for the last 10 mins.
