    If I ate alot for breakfast and lunch, I eat a light supper. Usually, I have Special K cereal and 1 cup of Vanilla Almond Milk.

    For Dinner tonight:

    Taco Salads
    Lettuce, tomato, taco shells, lean hamburger, light cheese, sour cream, black olives.

    Dinner Tomorrow:

    1 cup(s) pecans
    2 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
    1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
    1 teaspoon(s) paprika
    1 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
    Cayenne
    1 egg
    2 tablespoon(s) water
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    3 tablespoon(s) cooking oil
    1 cup(s)light mayonnaise
    2 tablespoon(s) grainy or Dijon mustard
    1/2 teaspoon(s) white-wine vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon(s) splenda
    2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley

    Directions
    1.In a food processor, pulse the pecans with the cornstarch, thyme, paprika, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne until the nuts are chopped fine. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl.
    2.Whisk together the egg and the water in a small bowl. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture and then into the nut mixture.
    3.In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes longer.
    4.Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, parsley, a pinch of cayenne and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve the chicken with the mustard dipping sauce.

    Also serve with steamed broccli and you can even add cheese to your broccli really low cal, if you watch your portions.

    Tonight is turkey meatloaf, roasted butternut squash and 3 oz of a sweet potato.

    I use the lean 93/7 ground turkey, salsa (I use hot because I love heat), onion, red and yellow pepper diced, 3 egg whites, and about a 1/2 cup of italian bread crumbs. Low in fat and insanely filling! If you have calories to spare i love melting a slice of swiss cheese on top of my slice.

    This sounds amazing, I'll need to try it!... with mild salsa. :P

    Dinner tonight is either leftovers from yesterday (baked tilapia crusted with tortilla chipotle lime crust with taco rice and broccoli) or if my chicken is defrosted by the time I get hungry, I'll make buffalo chicken in the crock pot and eat it with bleu cheese, probably with crackers or on lettuce, since I don't have bread.

    Part of my problem is I have planned out this weekend because we have company with small kids. So I can't fix those things tonight.

    I got some good ideas that I can now brainstorm with. Some days I just have a hard time thinking outside of the box when it comes to dinner.

    This is one of my go to's that we had last night: Chicken in a White Wine Sauce.

    Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
    1 can of cream of chicken - low fat or healthy request (which ever works with your diet)
    1/2 can of white wine
    dried thyme
    low fat swiss cheese slices
    italian seasoned bread crumbs.

    Place the chicken in a baking dish - season with S&P
    mix soup and wine together, add some dried thyme (I don't measure) S&P
    Place slices of cheese over the chicken..... I used 1 1/2 slices per chicken breast because I like the cheese flavor
    Pour soup mixture over the cheese and chicken
    Lightly sprinkle the bread crumbs over top to cover the soup mixture

    I spray the bread crumbs with either I Can't Believe It's Not Butter or PAM (the recipe called for drizzling melted butter)

    Bake at 350 for at least 45 mins.

    I serve this with steamed broccoli... some of the cheese sauce is yummy over the broccoli!

    Last night my dinner was 500 calories.

    No idea on "What's for dinner tonight". I'm thinking "fend for yourself" night.

    We have that at my house too! We call it "FFYS"
