    I'm having:

    baked lemon pepper tilapia
    steamed veggies (Green Giant Immunity blend!)
    sweet potato with brown sugar and cinnamon
    a piece of Italian bread

    I usually bake some chicken breast too, but I found these frozen tilapia fillets at Wal-Mart and they are super fast to make and taste great. Only 100 cals per fillet. Don't be afraid to experiment! :flowerforyou:

    I have a new recipe for Shrimp with wheat pasta......
    EVOO in large ssaucewpan, add chopped onion, chopped garlic, can a can of whole tomatoes, keep juice to side, and lemon juice and parsley and oregano.. Bring to simmer turn down

    Cook your wheat pasta

    while pasta is heating add shrimp and black olives if you like, I keep them out!!! to your sauce. Shrimp will take about 5 min to cook.. Drain your pasta and toss with sauce... YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Im not sure what you have on hand but we are having...

    ~ 5 oz. pork loin chop
    ~ "Slimmer" mashed potatoes ( I take a very small yukon gold potato and boil it, then mix it with 1 cup steamed cauliflower, 1/2 oz. of parkay spray butter, I Tbsp. prepared horseradish, and 1 Tbsp. fat free sour cream and fresh ground white pepper).
    ~ Steamed broccoli

    *** I pan sear the chops and then I deglaze the pan with a little chicken stock (or wine), then add 1-2 Tbsp of sugarfree blackberry preserves and reduce to make a sauce. You can experiment with any preserves you have on hand. It makes a great sauce/glaze.

    I made roasted vegetable lasagna last night since I only had an hour of class. I sent most of it home with my brother but saved one piece for tonight, since today I have 8 hours of back to back class (less my 1 hour of break, which I am using right now to log my meals for the day hehe :laugh: )

    here's the recipe I used, but I just used jarred organic pasta sauce rather than make my own. Lasagna is a bit of work but it is special :flowerforyou:

    This meal sounds delicious for tonight! I got these same tilapia filets. They are quick, easy and they are delicious! If you like spicy stuff, sprinkle them with Zataran's blackening seasoning. My husband LOVES it.
