    My go to easy dinner is slow cooker chicken tacos or quesidillas. Add chicken breast to crock pot, top w taco seasoning and add a can of rotel. Cook on low 6 hours then shred and drain excess fluid. Then I usually add a little taco sauce to the shredded chicken. For tacos just add to whole wheat tortilla and top with your favs. If doing quesidillas set oven to 400° spray bottom of quesidilla w cooking spray top w chicken and I usually add some diced Bell peppers and red onion, top that with shredded Mex cheese and then top w another tortilla. Spray that quesidilla w cooking spray. Bake for 6-8 min and flip and do another 6-8 min.

    This is deff my easiest and most family friendly recipe

    I also like to do Thai curry chicken. Very easy, one pan dish and super low on calories and high in protein.

    Heat skillet over high heat, dice chicken breasts or thighs, add coconut oil to pan, add chicken sautee until 3/4 of the way cooked, add sliced red and green bell peppers and sliced red onion (any veggies would work) sautee for a few min until veggies soften some. Add a can of coconut milk and about 2 TSP (I like spicy so I normally use a little more) of red or green Thai curry paste. Mix together and simmer for about 15-20 min.

    Serve over rice or quinoa

    Last week I made a super quick meal that was really yummy:

    Sautéed shrimp over corn/black beans/peppers/onions (Southwest frozen veggie blend from Targe) and cilantro lime rice (Uncle Ben's Ready Rice with cilantro and lime juice) with a single serving of Wholly Guacamole.

    Less than 10 minutes and under 600 cals...

    That looks amazing! Can you please be my chef? :) I have never eaten shrimp but those do look very tempting.

    I do LCHF so here are a few of my recent meals:

    1. Taco salad with ground beef
    2. Chicken or tuna or canned salmon salad with avocado, spinach, mayo, and as many low carb veggies as I have in the fridge
    3. Cheeseburger (2 patties) in a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, side of veggies. Would work with Turkey, chicken or veggie burgers too
    4. Veggie omelette--a full pan of veg sautéed in coconut oil or butter, with 2-3 eggs added once the veg are mostly done, topped with cheese.

    I should add that I do 300-400 calories each for breakfast & lunch, and 800-1000 for supper (goal is 1800ish). I've lost 12+ lbs in the past 7 weeks. I eat a bit more on my more active days (as per Fitbit).
