    Try adding new sauces and / or seasonings to what you make. There are even seasoning mixtures such as lemon pepper which can add zing to food.

    This is my dinner menu for the week:

    Monday: Spicy and smokey turkey bean chili
    Tuesday: Crockpot Sausage and spinach tortelini (this is going to be the worse for calories, though I have plenty to eat)
    Wednesday: Mexican pizzas (tortilla topped with taco meat, picante sauce, sprinkle of cheese and green onions...may add beans)
    Thursday: Whiskey Marinade steak with bacon wrapped green beans
    Friday: Eggplant, Chicken breast and marinara topped with parmesean and baked in casserole dish.

    We have a veggie steamer so I load up on 99¢ bags of frozen veggies and we pretty much have one nightly.

    I eat between 1900-2100 calories a day. You don't have to eat like a bird to lose! Still with a good meat source and a side of steamed veggies, those aren't bad meals.

    My fall back is crock pot chicken...I make a lot and have leftovers to freeze

    6 chicken breasts
    1 large jar of salsa
    cook in crock pot 6 hours

    Serve with Jasmine rice. Yummy!

    Oh...and this was a Weight Watchers recipe from years back.
