I'm in need of some new clean ideas for dinner. Tonight I am having long grain brown rice, topped with 2 tbsp fat free sour cream, chopped tomato and green onions. Yummy!

    Sorry - not sure if that counts as 'clean' but it is tasty :smile:

    There's a chicken roasting in the oven right now. It's stuffed with lemon slices, and there's olive oil, S&P and garlic powder on the outside.

    We're also having sauteed guy lan (Chinese broccoli) with ginger, and mashed cauliflower.

    ...Oh and we WILL be eating the skin!

    Baked deviled fish, sweet potatoes sauteed with kale and onions, and red lentil soup. Or maybe a bacon broccoli quiche with baked acorn squash. Or leftover bbq pulled pork sandwiches with cabbage salad. I am really indecisive today...

    Must be the day for chicken. We have two chickens on the rotisserie grill. Along with it will go roasted cauliflower and homemade bread that my hubby made. No skin for us, though, my hubby skinned the chicken before he cooked it.

    I had sauteed vegetables (green beans, baby corn, two servings from a bag of stir fry veg) with beef and prawns (shrimp), made a really fast sauce from Thai curry paste (jar) and coconut milk powder. I also intended to add peanut butter but forgot! I use dry spice blends or pastes for any South or East Asian food because the ingredients are higher quality and cheaper than the ready made jar sauce.

    I do a fair bit of sauteeing four different vegetables and adding a flavour - Greek yoghurt and grated cheese is awesome over bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms and tenderstem broccoli.

    Hmmm...does clean eating allow for cheese? Probably not... but I'm making portobello mushroom pizza for dinner tonight. Inspiration from http://pinterest.com/pin/217509856975039251/

    Tonight I made made stuffed eggplant.

    Washed and dried the eggplant.
    Split down center.
    Brushed with oil ( I used clarified butter) sprinkle with salt and pepper on cut side.
    Roasted cut side down in oven on foil lined baking sheet @ 400 for about 45 minutes - until fork tender.

    While that was happening I put together the stuffing.
    I used what I had around, but you can really fill them with what ever you wish.

    browned crumbled Italian pork sausage
    spicy red pepper pasta sauce
    minced onion
    fresh mushrooms
    clove garlic
    black sliced olives
    capers
    shredded Parmesan cheese


    I took some oil ( here I used rendered bacon drippings) and sliced and sauteed the mushroom,onion,garlic.
    After that was cooked down I tossed in the sauce till heated thru then added the capers and olives.
    Salt and pepper to taste.

    When the eggplant was done I flipped them over and pushed the flesh to both sides starting in the middle with 2 forks to make a little well for my delicious filling. Topped with cheese back in the oven for 10 minutes to toast the cheese. Let cool for a minute then devour! Yum! I still have another eggplant left so I'm going to make this again.

    Grilled herb rubbed chicken breasts, steamed broccoli, red butter potatoes. I wanted to do roasted broccoli, but I don't have the calorie allowance today for the olive oil...ok though...I had an awesome breakfast.

    Taco Soup! My recipe includes...

    -1 can corn
    -1 can light red kidney beans
    -1 can red beans or pinto beans (I've been using red beans)
    -2 cans of diced tomatoes
    -1 small can green chilies (or buy two cans of tomatoes with green chilies in them instead)
    -1 onion, diced
    -1 packet taco seasoning
    -1 packet ranch dressing mix
    -1 pound (give or take) of lean ground beef (ground turkey would probably work too, but I haven't tried it that way)

    Brown your meat up, then drain. Add everything else and bring to a boil. Garnish with cheese, fritos corn chips, sour cream, and whatever else you may like for taco-style stuff (a friend used guacamole as well). Delicious, filling, and decent on the calorie count. It's one of my favorite soups :)
