Im just wanting something new and healthy -- my family needs variety and since i cook for me and they reap the benefits i need something new... I could eat the same thing all the time (i kinda do) they need change:) just hoping to find something that i might have everything for... haha... i do have a variety in my freezer of meats and i love casseroles:)

    Tonight I'm having a big bowla wholemeal pasta, with a cabonara sauce made of egg yolks and bacon (if you've never tried egg cabonara, I highly recommend it!!)

    It's weight liftin day so I get extra carbs :) Normally it'd be some kind of veggie and meat stir fry or broiled chicken breast with some cream cheese.

    Flatbread pizza :) You can make pizza out of anything.........tortillas, flat bread, flat out, English muffins. Just toast them on one side, add sauce, cheese, and topping and bake until cheese melts....yummm.

    This is a good one. Make it for my family and they love it.

    Mac and Cheese

    Cooking spray
    1 pound elbow macaroni
    16 oz pureed winter squash or cauliflower
    2 cups 1 percent lowfat milk
    4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)
    4 ounces Monterrey jack cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon powdered mustard
    2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    Directions
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13- inch pan with cooking spray
    Place the frozen squash or cauliflower and milk into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.
    Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbles and then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.

    skinnytaste.com is an awesome website!
    I agree with this. I like the Cuban Sandwich wraps. I'm having those tonight, but instead of making the pork I just bought Spanish roast pork from the Publix deli.

    3.Stir in remaining ingredients, except cilantro and parsley. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and parsley.

    Chili (Well, what I call chili)

    1lb of ground turkey, ground chicken or extra lean ground beef
    2 small cans of tomato sauce
    1/2 Onion, diced
    Williams Chili seasoning
    Various other seasonings for me (packet of splenda, minced garlic, little bit of seasoned salt, little more chili powder, etc)

    Brown the meat, add tomato sauce and two cans of water, add seasoning, simmer.

    I figured this up to be right at 175 calories in 1/2 C

    I served this over crunched up whole corn flour tortilla chips, lettuce, and FF French Dressing. MMMMMMMM MMMMMMMM!

    Tonight I'm meeting a friend for dinner before class but I made Skinny Taste's Divan Chicken lightened up for tomorrow and the rest of the week. I live by myself so I usually just make one meal and eat it throughout the week. Smells good in the oven right now! Can't wait to try it tomorrow.
