I'm going to have some Cajun baked flounder with some "oven-fried" fiber one okra and some rice. The hubby is having something to with chicken since he wasn't over the moon with my last flounder dinner and he hates okra. He'll probably end up with broccoli, squash, cauliflower, carrot mixture steamed with Italian seasoning and rice as well.
I had cajun baked flounder for lunch today (and yesterday)... mmmm...!!
What's "fiber one" okra???0 -
Its my boyfriends saturday so we are going out to dinner (plus this way I can get him to pay for the cat litter for his cat). We are going to Famuos Dave's and I found out today that my fave dish (with a few modifications) is one of the more healthy options. I budgeted my calories all day for dinner even if it wasnt.
So I am having a Sassy Bbq chicken salad. I pass on the corn muffin and going to ask them to put the dressing on the side. I might spluge and have ice tea (unsweet of course) or maybe just water like normal.0 -
Grilled turkey burgers (jenny-o frozen ones cause I forgot to dig out meat to thaw :frown: )
1/2 of a left over long roll as a bun (before they get REALLY stale)
cheese and assorted toppings (onions, tomato, spinach leaves, etc.)
Oven roasted 8 ball squash (they look like round zucchini and yellow squash - about softball size) with EVOO and garlic
may make a simple salad too, but we'll see how we feel :laugh:0 -
Had this salad with a couple of vegetarian sausage rolls. Salad was lovely but I'd use less mint next time.
Grilled courgette salad with chilli, feta and pine nuts
This is my favourite type of salad: warm, pretty, full of flavour and good for you.
Serves 4-6
4 courgettes
80ml extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
60g currants
60g pine nuts
2 baby gem lettuces, cut into ribbons
1 large handful of mint leaves, roughly chopped
2 red chillies, finely chopped
140g feta cheese
Juice of ½ lemon
Cut the courgettes lengthwise into thin slices. Drizzle with olive oil, season and cook on the barbecue for about 1 minute on each side until slightly blackened and cooked through. It will take 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat another drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan and add the currants and pine nuts. Fry until the currants have puffed up and the pine nuts are a pale gold. Put the lettuce, mint and courgette strips on a plate, scatter over the pine nuts, raisins and chillies, and crumble the feta on top. Season with some good grindings of pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and the lemon juice.0 -
Whole wheat spaghetti w/ tomato basil sauce and turkey meatballs. Zucchini and onions sauteed in a little EVOO, and probably some other veggies (raw carrots, broccoli, cauliflower). I'll make some whole wheat garlic bread for the kiddos too. Also strawberries, grapes, and watermelon! Yum!
I'm getting hungry!!0 -

I'm cooking up a fresh turkey burger tonight Probably some roasted asparagus and wilted spinach. (I don't have any whole wheat buns at home and I don't feel like going to buy any.)
Last night I had this and it was AWESOME! http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1227896&cookbook_id=52732910 -

Um...i just drooled a little at that recipe!!! Thanks for posting that!0 -
No problem! I didn't use white wine like it called for but instead opted for a Tsp of lemon juice to add the acidity it was looking for. I think the sauce itself would be awesome over chicken, fish (salmon in particular), tofu, and even over veggies!0
