Tonight for dinner I made...

Options
The easiest meal! I preheated my oven to 425 degrees, cut a whole red bell pepper into slices and scattered them on a baking sheet sprayed with Olive Oil Pam. Then I scattered 12 large shrimp on the pan, squeezed the juice from half a lemon over all of it, sprinkled minced garlic (the kind from a jar) over the whole thing, and cracked black pepper on top. 14 minutes in the oven, flipping halfway, and done! I estimated it to be 2 servings at about 100 calories per serving. You can put it on top of noodles, cous cous, salad, rice... Whatever you want! It was pretty tasty. What did you have for dinner?

    I had Salmon. Only half though. This is the first time I had it and I'm not a fan. Can't say I will make that again. I also had asparagus and pasta with sauce and meat.

    It's only 4pm here in California, but I am making baked bbq chicken. Put raw chicken in a pan, sprinkle with garlic & pepper (or any seasoning you prefer), add some bbq sauce and bake!

    It is taco night at my house, one of our favorites.

    Small dempsters soft tortillas (only 80 calories each)
    ground turkey seasoned with garlic pwrd, chili pwdr, cumin, paprika and pepper
    Avacado slices
    LOTS of veggies (my favorite is green peppers, cucumber, lettuce, and cilantro)
    1 tomato cut into small pieces and mixed with 1/2 c salsa (makes the salsa taste much "fresher")

    This is one dinner that there are never any leftovers!

    That sounds great! Chicken spaghetti with corn and peas here (I know, I know, it sounds like carb overload to me too... but somehow it worked out for the day). Quick and easy because it was from the freezer!

    Golden Sesame Tofu with brown rice!

    1 package of extra firm tofu, pressed to get most of the water out of it, then dusted with flour and sauteed in 2 TBS canola oil. Drain on paper towels.

    For the sauce:
    2 TBS Agave (you can also use honey)
    3 TBS soy sauce
    2 TBS Seasoned rice vinegar
    2 tsp minced ginger
    1 clove garlic minced (I ran out and used 1/2 tsp garlic powder instead)
    Heat the sauce to a gentle boil and let sit while the tofu is sauteeing.

    Toast 2 TBS sesame seeds. Toss everything together. 285 calories per serving! (serves 4)

    Hmm... I made two packages of strawberries and cream oatmeal and Jimmy Dean D-Light Egg, Cheese, Potato, and Sausage bowl. Haha. Breakfast for dinner! I didn't feel like making anything, so just popped some stuff in the microwave. :) Lawls.
