    Some protein and veggies is always a good way to go.

    oven baked chicken + steamed veggies
    or grilled chicken.
    or salmon.

    Today I just went to whole foods and picked up food from the "prepared foods"
    I got chicken, broccoli, eggplant, lettuce and one piece of tofu. haha

    I own a Dream Dinners and it's all portion controlled. There may be one in your neighborhood. Meals run anywhere from 257-450 calorie wise. Check it out! www.dreamdinners.com

    It generally tastes like whatever you cook it with. It doesn't have a strong flavor of its own, which makes it very versatile.

    I've found a cheap, easy and healthy recipe that mother and Lucy loves! Boneless skinnless chicken breast, 1 bottle BBQ sauce, and juice from 1 orange in the crockpot. I feel like I pwn'd parenting tonight. :)

    Homemade stirfry brown rice (sautee onion, mushroom and cooked brown rice with an egg). I also sautee 6 large scallops in Pam, seasoned with sweet paprika and pepper, and mixed with the rice. Served a side salad (green lettuce, tomatoes and artichokes hearts), and fresh fruit homemade salad for desert.

    Nice dinner for my husband and me for less than 400 calories each.

    omg!! that rice sounds so good..! Recently I bought whole grain rice - *(Riceland) and I think I must have made it wrong because it took forever to cook!!! my sis in law said I should soak it in water?

    i had a whole wheat bagel thin with PB2 and sliced banana, with 8 oz of Unsweetened Almond Breeze. Most nights I'd try to sneak in some veggies like a salad too but tonight I didn't bother.
