    I love to make shakshouka. It's cheap, easy, low cal and very easy to add any absorbent vegetable to. It's normally vegetarian but I like to add a little chicken breast.

    Another one I make a lot is my version of Prawn Saganaki. (Below) anyone can send me a message for the recipe if they like.

    chicken breast + salad greens


    _"cheeseburger salads"_
    lean ground beef
    mrs. dash southwest chipotle
    1/2 pickle diced
    cheese (to taste as this will affect calories)
    lettuce
    organic ketchup + mustard


    a lot of nights I just do a bag of steamed veggies with a meat.

    I had mine last night.

    Steamed fish (or baked in the oven works as well - just wrapped in foil with some lemon zest & fresh thyme sprigs), boiled baby new potatoes, and home-made ratatoullie.

    For the ratatouille I soften a chopped onion in 1tbsp olive oil, then add chopped mushrooms, courgettes & aubergine and fry until slightly softened, and add a tin of chopped tomatoes. Add some seasoning (salt, pepper, herbs) and let it cook for a good 30 minutes (or more if you have time). I tend to make a batch of it in one go at the weekend, then use a portion at a time through the week (it's good for lunches as well).

    I do salmon filets in a parchment bag, with slices of orange on top. For sides, fresh asparagus, and either couscous, or a rice/quinoa blend. Super yummy!

    Tagging to bump, but I'll also share a meal idea. This week, I bought a half of a chicken already grilled from the deli. The first night I made a huge chicken, feta, sunflower seed, & strawberry salad using spinach and arugula greens, and added shredded carrots and cabbage (whatever dressing you like, I do balsamic vinegrette, or French/western). The rest I peeled off the bones to use for quesadillas with whole wheat tortilla and guacamole, and then the remainder a chicken salad for sandwiches with light mayo, onion, celery & salt/pepper.

    I have a few different favorite recipies but the best of all: grilled fish with tomato salad and basil, salad made with roasted bell Pepper, and a small boiled potato Top that with fresh cilantro, chopped onions and a bit of extra Virgin olive oïl. Yummy! Taste like I am having dinner by the mediteraneen sea in Greece!

    Grilled chicken, fish or lean steak with grilled or steamed veggies or salad

    Pizza made with pita bread or wraps for the crust

    whole grain pasta with meatballs made from 92% lean ground turkey or beef

    tex-mex beans with veggies served over quinoa (basically black beans, tomato, spinach & corn with spices), sometimes I do it with chicken breast.

    tacos with lean meat or chicken

    I make "spaghetti" with Spaghetti squash! The squash is only like 40 calories and fresh tomatoe sauce isnt much more. Sometimes I can stuff my face on only 300 cals.
