Totally quick - and I just love canned tomatoes.
1 can of fire roasted tomatoes, 1/2 cup birdseye southwestern style rice and about a table spoon of taco or any mexican type seasoning. I eat it like a chunky soup. Yum. If I need to get my protein up, I add about a half cup of shredded chicken.
Mmmm tomatoes!! Trying this!0 -
I don't have counts on calories etc, and some people might not think it's too healthy but it's definitely much healthier than my meals before joining MFP:
grilled boneless/skinless chicken breast topped with:
grilled mushrooms
a thin slice of swiss
slices of 1/4 avocado
served with steamed cauliflower, broccoli and carrots
This sounds great too!! Can't wait to try these0 -
Wish I had seen this BEFORE dinner. I would have posted a pic! Tonight we had lettuce-wrapped turkey tacos. It is at the top of my list for flavor and nutrition and my kids love them. Here is the general recipe:
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning, or if you are like me, I make my own - chili powder, cumin, coriander, dried onion, touch of salt.
Brown turkey, add seasonings and 1/2 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes or until water is mostly absorbed.
- large lettuce leaves such as red leaf, butter, romaine or iceberg
- salsa
- corn
- Black beans
- avocados
- low-fat Mexican blend cheese
- fresh tomatoes, chopped
- cilantro if you like it.
Using one lettuce leaf as your taco shell, stuff with turkey and other ingredients. Fold over and eat! They are a bit messy, but fun to eat!
Can you please post what amounts you use of each spice to make your seasoning? I would love to make it as the store bought stuff is full of sodium. Thanks, it's a great idea!0 -
I bake a salmon filet with just salt and pepper. While that's cooking, I make a package of instant brown rice (lately I buy the basmati brown rice. It's so good). Throw that in a pan and add the cooked salmon, breaking it up and mixing it in. Drizzle on 2 tablespoons of hoisen sauce. I like to throw in green onions too, and garlic.0

During this time of year I like to buy all my lunches thru schwan's because they come to my office. The best thing is the Turkey meatballs and either mixed veggies or Broccoli with cheese. They are soooooo yummy.0

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
8 oz. Thinly Sliced Roast Beef
8 Slices Provolone Cheese (can use low-fat)
2 Large Green Bell Peppers
1 Medium Sweet Onion
6 oz. Baby Bella Mushrooms
1 Tbs. Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Slice peppers in half lengthwise, remove ribs and seeds. Slice onions and mushrooms. Saute over medium heat with a splash of chicken broth, minced garlic and a little salt & pepper until onions and mushrooms are nice and caramelized (about 20 minutes or so). Preheat oven to 400*. Slice roast beef into thin strips and add to the onion/mushroom mixture. Allow to cook for 5-10 additional minutes. Line the inside of each pepper with a slice of provolone cheese. Fill each pepper with meat mixture until they are nearly overflowing. Top each pepper with another slice of provolone cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese on top is golden brown. Serve and Enjoy!
Each half, which is a pretty large serving, is about 350 calories (that's will full fat cheese).

Last night I made my own sweet potato fries (well more like chips). I have to say they were to die for! I searched the internet and just used portions of various recipes to make my own concoction. Here is what I did:
Ingredients:
Sweet Potatoes (I cut mine in circles because it was easier to keep them at a similar thickness for even cooking)
Olive Oil (for coating - 1 or 2 tsp)
Sea Salt
Brown Sugar (very little...I like sweet & salty, but I probably didn't need it at all)
Cook for about 30-40 minutes at 400 - turn over half way through cooking time.
These were so tasty I couldn't stop eating them. The best thing is they are so healthy!
Add a lean meat and a salad and you are good to go!0 -

BEER AND PIZZA,,, they can be very healthy if you know what you are doing.0

5oz sirloin steak + 50/50 salad + italian or greek feta and oregano dressing + mushrooms sauteed in the steak run-off.
I love this combo and it's super low fat/carb but great source of protein.0 -
Oh jeez... food porn time...
Don't have the cal counts on these anymore but most are around 500-1000 cals high in protein, moderate fat and low carb. That's just how I roll.
Fish Taco-Less Salad, under 500 cals(tilapia dry rubbed, pan seared, served over shredded cabbage with mango salsa and cheese)
Prosciutto and Arugula Salad Pizza with a whole wheat crust, one third of the pizza was around 500 cals
Two kraut burgers with cheddar and coleslaw, cut out the buns to cut major cals, probably closer to 1000cals
Bunless Juicy Lucy with sweet potato fries and sriracha dipping sauce, probably around 500-750 cals
Another quick and easy low cal high protein option:
2 links of Aidell's or Applegate Farms chicken and apple sausages
2 cups of halved brussel sprouts
1 strip of bacon
S&P
Ranch dressing powdered mix
Grated parmesan
~500 cals
Fry the strip of bacon, toss the brussel sprouts in the bacon grease with S&P and about a tsp of the ranch dressing mix and sautee. Slice the sausage links and add to the sautee pan. Crumble bacon and sprinkle bacon and parm over the top of the brussel sprouts and sausage. You could use sub a lot of different veggies in if you don't like brussel sprouts and there are a few different varieties of the chicken sausages so you could mix things up a bit too.

Puerto Rican style- boneless center cut pork chops seasoned withs sazon and adobo. Throw them in the slow cooker and top them with red and pink beans. add some tomato sauce and sofrito. Let the slow cooker do it's magic. High in protein and fiber and it makes you full for a while. Goes great with white rice which for me is currently blacklisted.0

I'm new at replying to a request from my own post. Hope this works. For the poster who asked what my proportions are for my own taco seasoning, I really wing it each time, but it's at least 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1tsp. Ground coriander, 2 tsp. chili powder, 1tbsp dried onion, couple shakes of garlic powder, salt to taste. I also use Spanish smoked paprika (pimenton de la Vera) but its harder to find so I didn't mention that in the original post. But if you can find it, it's a great addition to the blend.
Tomorrow night is Triple T Night! Turkey Taco Tuesdays!
