    My easy, healthy, no-mess dinner is what I call "poor man's chicken cordon bleu." Take a couple of chicken tenders or a boneless chicken breast filet (around 5 oz). Slice 'em open, spread some cheese inside (I use a wedge of laughing cow) and sprinkle a pinch of rosemary or garlic. Close it back up, and wrap a slice of bacon around the whole thing. Now you can grill it on a grill (I use my George Foreman grill, 9 minutes) or wrap it in foil & bake it at 350 for 20-35 minutes.

    218 calories, 1g carb, 8g fat, 35g protein, 483 sodium
    You can add a cup or two of steamed veggies too, whatever you like, and still barely be over 300 cal.
    Now that is what I am looking for! Great idea!!

    Yes, this website is amazing! I love the chicken taco chili! You can plan out all your dinners for the week from there if you want. :-)

    No shelfish because of allergies, or do you just not like them?

    No allergies. I went to a Motivational Seminar where this man talked about shellfish. He called shrimp the "fleas of the sea," and "lobster was a cockroach of the sea," after that I just can't. It struck me that people eat them because of what they are coated with or dipped in (butter) not because they taste good. Oh well. Not politically correct, but it's where I am.

    I just went to BJ's Club tonight to buy weekly food and I found something AMAZING that i've never seen before. Joseph's brand pita breads or something with 60 calories per pita, 6g protein, 10g oat/complex carbs, 5g fiber. Time to make pizza/pitas/enchiladas/sandwiches with this and feel good eating it
