    We are having Crockpot Buffalo chicken with corn and potatoes! I believe there is a recipe section on here where members post their recipes.

    Pot roast, carrots, parsnips and mashed potatoes......I won't eat a lot of the potatoes, but the kids love them. My motto is everything in moderation but I try to stick to lean proteins and lots of veggies.

    Pork loin chops that I marinated for 24 hours with whole meal brown rice.

    Marinade made up of a little brown sugar, lemon juice, light soy sauce, fresh garlic & hickory smoked sauce.

    Delicious & low calories!

    Tonight is homemade turkey noodle soup (frozen turkey leftover from Thanksgiving, with homemade soup stock made from the bones) and homemade bread (made with just flour, salt, yeast & water) - AMAZING. Warm, comforting, low calories and still delicious.

    As to how I cook for my family - there is nothing I don't make. But I enter everything I DO make, into MFP's recipes and it figures it all out. If it's a little higher in calories, I eat a smaller portion. I don't deprive myself of anything and between my husband and myself, we've lost 100 lbs in the last 8 months... plus we're setting a good example for our two boys.

    I'm not sure if kids would like this, but I made it for the first time tonight, and it was delicious! Depending on your numbers, it's little calorie heavy b/c of the peanut butter, but the recipe makes quite a few servings, is super filling, and is sooo tasty. Plus it's different-- a good way to shake things up.

    Pork roast (boston butt cause we like fatty meats, they satisfy longer than lean cuts...) done in the crock pot.

    Brussel sprouts boiled, then sauteed in butter & garlic.

    Husband will have rice, I'm grain and gluten and processed food free, so i fill up on veggies and fats. Raised my kids that way too. It is surprising how unhealthy pasta, bread, etc. is, so we stick with proteins and veggies. :-)

    Have a great day :-)

    I am trying a new recipe tonight. It is chicken breast covered in hummus. It is supposed to come out like fried chicken even though it is baked. If it is good I will post the recipe. I will know in about 30 minutes.

    I made Chicken Breasts sauteed in some smart balance spread with red, green and yellow peppers in a chicken stock. Also a pot of chili using really lean ground beef and some awesome moroccan seasoning got for Christmas, it has onion, paprika, cumin, garlic, cilantro, parsley , red pepper and tarragon.,..I also added some chili piquin to heat it up and a dash of cinnamon, a large can crushed tomatos and a can black beans....I calculated 1/2 cup to about 200 calories--I enjoy making up recipes --hubby loved it...dont think I could make it exactly same again though...

    I'm lower carb and avoiding gluten, so we're having oven-fried chicken (coated with coconut flour/spices) baked in butter/coconut oil. I tried the butter/coconut oil last time, and it was delish!, so now checking out the flavor with coconut flour. Small serving of Costco's sprouted rice/quinoa, and a spinach/veggie salad with hard-boiled egg, cheese, and salami toppings.

    I'm having sliced pear with roast beef and a cottage cheese/horseradish mixture. I normally use sour cream instead of cottage cheese, but I'm out. I like the salty sweet mix of the pear with the lean roast beef and sauce. I'll probably also have some of the leftover Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Bake I made last night. It was amazing. Here's the recipe:

    I was so pleased to avoid cooking tonight, because I spent about 6 hrs yesterday on this wonderful butternut squash and pork ragu lasagna! Really good--there are no noodles, they are replaced with roasted slices of butternut squash. The pork ragu made it fantastic. Like I said, REALLY GOOD, but it took so long to pull together. It definitely won't be a regular recipe for me. Here's the recipe, in case anyone is crazy enough to spend all day on it:

    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/anne-burrell/butternut-squash-and-pork-lasagna-recipe/index.html

    I think you'd probably do best to cook it over a couple days. Do the ragu one day, then do the squash roasting and assemble the whole thing on the next day.

    Chicken wings! The kids are having pretty boring wings with just salt and pepper, and they'll have some raw veggies and fruit on the side.

    My husband and I are having hot wings and lots of raw veggies on the side. No dip for the veggies (or the wings) and the wings are baked, not fried. Delicious.
