Does anyone have any recipe ideas?!

I normally eat the same thing everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner.. normally plain oatmeal or eggs whites, a sandwhich or soup, and chicken with either veggies or brown rice... does anyone have any ideas on some other healthy meal options?! I hate to cook and dont have much time either with being a full time mommy and student.. so the easier and simple the recipe is the better! I just need more of a variety to keep me interested in eating good!

Look at other people's diaries, they're a great source of inspiration!

Go to skinnytast.com I think you will absolutely LOVE it!!!! Also try Shiritaki noodles ZERO calories (the one's WITHOUT Tofu) those are 20 calories. They soak up whatever flavor you cook them with. You can use them as a pasta or in a stir fry. A friend of mine used them with bok choi, shrimp, brown spicy mustard, garlic & a sauce similar to soy sauce found at Trader Joes & total 84 calories. Yummy too.

do you have a crockpot? I love it!
stick a chicken breast or two in there, pour in a bottle of reduced fat bbq sauce, and let it cook for a few hours. shred when done and let it cook another 15 min. put it on a wholewheat bun and voila!

do you have a GF? if so, season chicken breast/salmon/fish, stick it on there. while it's cooking, cook up some couscous with some sauteed onion/garlic/tomatoe paste...steam some veggies...should all take about 15 min

sautee some onion/tomatoe/garlic/spinach leaves...add scrambled eggs and cook together..put it on Thomas english toast, add a slice of ham, some reduced fat mozz cheese, a slice of tomatoe and put in the toaster oven..whole thing takes less than 10 minutes to make...great breakfast and keeps you full...

message me if you need any more ideas

and I'd check out skinnytaste.com
love that website!

Add Splenda and fruit like blueberries strawberries for crying out loud girl lol... The last thing you want is to get bored then you will fall off bad even portion out sugar on your measuring spoons if need be honey.

Since I am cutting carbs more than fat, I like to take 2 slices of oven broiled bacon and tomato slices wrapped in an outer romaine lettuce leaf. It tastes good and the protien and fat keep me going longer than oatmeal.

Lean cuisines and smart ones are tasty. I also make pizza out of soft tacos. If you want my recipes send me a message. I also make chicken in a crock pot with green chillies! So good!!!

I put sliced turkey in pita pockets for a different take on a sandwich. I, also, fill it up with veggies, whatever I have at the moment. Pita is only 60 calories.

I make brown rice, sauteed with onions, bell peppers, celery, etc, then put in rice and water. When rice is tender add a can of stewed tomatoes. I use it to stuff bell peppers, or to just eat with crackers,

Blue Bell has some yummy fruit bars that are only 70 calories. Yummy dessert.

Mix peanut butter with oatmeal and a bit of syrup, Eats like granola.

I boil eggs on Sunday so they are ready all week to just grab and go. Make an egg salad with reduced mayo and put in the pita pocket.

I love cottage cheese mixed with fruit. It's fast!!

Also, use flat bread (100 calories) with siced turkey and a squirt of Ranch dressing. Roll it up and makes a quick sandwich to eat on the go.

Golden potatoes ....boil and eat. Doesn't take long to cook.
