I do a lot of pre-cooking on the weekends making my busy life easier...especially breakfast with getting the kids out the door. My favorite is a high protein Fritatta.
Blend 2 eggs, 1/4 cup skim milk & 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, set aside.
Saute in oven-proof pan with some olive oil, diced veggies of your choice, a total of about 2 cups. I do spinach, onion, tomato, zuccini & asparagus.
Once veggies are done, pour egg mixture into pan and cover until top is set.
Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and put under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly.
I eat a quarter of this every morning for 4 mornings! 135 calories and packed with 11 grams of protein0 -

I often make a large batch of lentil soup on the weekend. Then, I have a cup or two for lunch and add whatever protein I have on hand: chicken breast, a can of tuna or salmon, chicken sausage.0

I do a lot of crockpot cooking so it is ready when I get home from work. this one is yummy, easy, convenient and light.
20oz pckg frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts (you don't even have to defrost them!!)
16oz fat free sour cream
1 can fat free cream of mushroom soup
1 pkg Onion Soup mix.
Put in the frozen chicken. Combine the other 3 ingredients & scoop it in. Cook in the crock on low for 7-8 hours.
The calories depend on how much chicken you eat (I weigh my portion). The sauce has very little. You can serve over noodles or brown rice if you like, there is plenty of sauce.0 -
