I'm making a big pot of soup. Doing a slightly modified version of this one. I'm adding in some kale and carrots since I have a bunch to use up. It's SO good! :) I usually make a batch of corn muffins/cornbread to go with it but I'm skipping that today. No mix and I don't feel like going to the store.

    That sounds AMAZING! I wish you posted this yesterday... I'm back in the dorms after spring break so meals will not be nearly as awesome. Tonight it's salad and canned clam chowder. Oh, college life...

    I'm making tomato soup with turkey sausage for dinner tonight and lunches this week. Roasting the tomatoes in the oven for a bit of sweetness, along with a red pepper, then simmering with low salt veggie broth, garlic and thickening it with a bit of milk and flour for creaminess.

    Everyone's dinners sound so good.

    The sausage is a good way to add some lean protein into the dish, and all the flavors too.

    I had lamb chops, and steamed cauliflower with a little fat free cheddar on it. For dessert, grilled pineapple. That stuff is my FAVORITE, and pretty low cal for such a tasty treat.

    Sunday is my son's night to cook. We had Chili Dogs! 98% Fat Free Hebrew National hot dogs and Hormel Turkey Chili. Wishing I'd of went bunless and had a second hot dog (only 40 calories each!). The rest of the crew had chips with it.

    Last nights dinner was leftover Chicken Parmigiana Bake - with my ingredients and quantities it came out at about 360 cals/serve.
    I added 1/2 cup of rice but it would be just as good as is with a salad on the side.
