I need some new ideas for dinner. I didn't eat as well as I should have through the holidays so I am getting back on board and need some new ideas for dinner. I think I got off track a little because I ate the same stuff for a year and yes lost 90 lbs doing so but I need to broaden my horizon. Thanks.

I think I got off track a little because I ate the same stuff for a year and yes lost 90 lbs doing so but I need to broaden my horizon. Thanks.

This is what I made tonight, except I used rotiserie and mild salsa, the whole family liked it.

chicken Cream cheese Enchiladas

Ingredients

1. 2 (12 1/2 ounce) cans chicken breasts ( drained)

2. 1 (10 1/2 ounce) cans reduced-fat cream of chicken Soup

3. 1 (8 ounce) bar reduced-fat cream cheese ( softened)

4. 1 (28 ounce) cans green enchilada sauce

5. 1 (8 ounce) packages shredded cheddar cheese

6. 15 soft taco-size flour tortillas

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cream cheese, cream of chicken Soup, 1/2 the cheddar cheese, and enough enchilada sauce to make the mixture moist.

3. Mix all ingredients well. Make sure the cream cheese is not clumpy.

4. In a large rectangular baking dish pour enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom.

5. In each tortilla put approximately 3-4 large tablespoons of the mixture.

6. Roll each tortilla and place into the pan.

7. Once pan is full, pour enough enchilada sauce on top to make sure each tortilla is covered.

8. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

9. Bake for between 25 and 30 minutes.

10. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.

11. Garnish with sour cream, lettuce, olives, etc.

12. Enjoy.

Thinmint - we are on the same train of thought...I tossed some boneless skinless breasts seasoned with cumin and chili powder into a crockpot with black Beans, enchilada sauce, and green Chili's. Its almost done and smells delish!

Posting recipes is contagious...this site got me going on the laughing cow cheese with tuna.< /p>

I haven't seen the Perdue portioned chicken yet but will certainly keep my eyes open for it. I hate having to cut and individually wrap my meat before freezing. I do it of course but it would be nice if it already came that way!

If you are close to a food lion or Walmart they have it already seasoned in lemon and Italian. Just put in freezer bause they are pre packaged.

Debbie - thanks...Walmart is all I have near my house and that's where I do most of my shopping. I have to stop in tonight so ill definitely look. The fact that its pre seasoned also helps when you want a no fuss dinner. Thanks for the tip!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
