Hi All!! I'm looking for some super fast, low cal, filling meals for the work week...curious to see what are some of your favorites out there??? Kid friendly would be especially helpful!! :) I'm a fan of make-ahead and freeze meals and even the crockpot, but that's not always possible and you're a little limited... Thanks in advance!! :):)

    I like to have wraps for lunch. I'll poach or bake or fry in a little EVOO, some chicken breasts or chicken tenders, then save those to put in wraps with a bunch of peppers and onions. or black beans with peppers and onions. :)
    add some fruit and/or veggies on the side and it's filling.

    I stay home with my kids, but still need to eat as everyone else. I like making chicken salad on a bed of greens on a pita type bread. Add a piece of fruit, and raw veggies...you have lunch! (or in my case, dinner toinght).

    I like the buns that are thin slice so they have low calorie with turkey, swiss cheese and tomato for lunch. Quinoa with spices is always a good thing you can make ahead and take as a leftover as well. http://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/ is a great site for recipes for the crockpot. I like to make pastas and have them as leftovers. Sauteing zuchini and squash is great as a veggie for dinner and the next day for lunch!

    Have you tried making sutffed red peppers and fill them with brown rice and black beans with a little tomato sauce--amazing! Can be made in crock pot or oven!
