    Ive got a bad craving going on.... am thinking of making some homemade chinese tonight!

    Gingered Beef with a stir-fry of red, orange and yellow bell peppers, baby bella mushrooms, onions, snap peas, carrots and broccoli in a hearty sauce with soy sauce, gahhhhhlic, star anise, couple of szechuan peppers.

    Ill make white rice for my husband, but Ill have tofu noodles to go with mine.

    Perhaps some traditional Chinese tea eggs as well!!!

      Treating myself (and my other half) tonight to the classic chicken nuggets and chips... I've earned it calorie wise!

      I will not be eating well for dinner tonight. My husband has a craving for what we call "ghetto lasagna." It's cooked egg noodles, american singles cheese, and cooked bacon layered and baked and topped with tomato sauce. It sounds gross and it's a lot of calories, but it is very tastey, and even better reheated the next day.

      Recipe for this? Always looking for something new :)


      At our house I just put peppers, onions, sweet italian sausage and spaghetti sauce on low in the crockpot to cook away for supper tonight. Will serve over whole wheat pasta.

      **the chicken sausage option is really good with this too if it's available in your area. Cuts down on some of the calories AND if I don't tell the family they never know ;)

      I'm a little nervous about dinner tonight! It's a graduation party and this is the menu.

      Pulled pork bbq or Italian beef on buns.

      Potato salad

      Creamy cole slaw

      CAKE!

      I don't even know if there will be any healthy stuff there but I'll watch my portions and I'm going to exercise before I go so I have a few extra calories to eat. It's all about adjusting your former 'lifestyle' to the new, healthier one!

      Beans on toast probably. I'm really just not in the mood for cooking this evening.

      DH is grilling a lean marinated steak tonight. I always get him to do a skewer of grilled mushrooms on the side for me. I fill up on half meat, half shrooms. I think I am going to try making mashed cauliflower for the first time tonight as a side.

      It's taco night - and while the rest of the family will have regular fully-loaded tacos, I'll have a modified version - taco bowl (without the shell), a little less meat, and lot more veggies, topped off with some avocado! I can't wait!
