Okay, you dont have to post boring everynight meals lol. (mac n cheese and hotdogs)

I want people to post Interesting meals their family is having "Tonight"

So If I was making (X) for my family and I thought (X) was the best thing in the world and my famly loves it I'd post it!

LOL

Maybe I'm hungry? Maybe I'm wondering what to make for dinner?

So are you making something really yummy tonight? Maybe I'll try it too!

Nana~

Eeekgad, olives... I'm Greek and I can't stand the f***ers.

But here is something I make that doesn't require olives:

Boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in half width-wise.

Open 'em up and stuff them with delicacies of your choice. I use:

Butter shavings

Garlic

Asiago cheese

Salt

Oregano

Spinach

Then sew them up, wrap in foil with another small butter pat & some seasoned salt, and grill.

Solid happiness, baby.

Well, tonight is the first time Ive had people over for dinner since banding. UGH...I cooked a huge meal..BBQ pork loin ( homemade spicy bbq sauce cooked 8 hours slowlyyyyy), stir fryed veggies, homemade bread and homegrown blackberry cobbler...and promptly overate. Im not sick..and I didnt go crazy...but..Im way full. I remembered to eat protien first and I opted to eat a few pieces of potatoe instead of bread. I guess it could have been worse...but..ugh..I feel a total loss of control and bloated to the hilt...someone shoot me. lol :hungry: :help:

Polenta and chicken.

1/2 cup of polenta (very soft)

1 small chicken thigh cooked in a tomato, onion, garlic sauce......yum!

I made a rub of Cajun seasoning and Splenda brown sugar blend. I rubbed this into turkey cutlets and then sauteed them in a bit of oil in a nonstick skillet. It only takes a couple of minutes of cooking per side. I fixed this last night and my family was STILL talking about them this a.m.

Tonight is taco salad: taco meat, lf cheese, light sour cream, salsa, black olives, diced veggies (peppers, red onion, scallions, etc.). I don't always use lettuce...the veggies are heartier and have more nutritional value. :hungry:

I made a really good dinner last night I wanted to share.

I boiled up some penne Pasta

I steamed some frozen brocolli and then put it in the blender and pureed it

I took a square baking dish and layered the following:

The cooked pasta, followed by sliced cheddar cheese, then the brocolli puree, then a package of soy nuggets (fake chicken nuggets), then over the top I poured on a bunch of mushroom broth (the recipe I altered was for chicken divan and called for cream of mushroom Soup but all I had was broth)

I baked it at 375 for 30 minutes. It was sooooooooooo sooo good.

I also made sauteed cauliflower with garlic, tons of fresh ground pepper, salt, and paprika done in butter. Yummmmmm.

It was a great dinner.

This is one of my DH's fav's!

My husband wanted tacos....and he cooked them tonight

I have been trying to stay away from carbs, so I had like 2 big tablespoons of the taco meat, No tortilla, and FF refried beans with some lowfat cheese and 2 slices of tomatoes.

(ok....and about 7 corn chips)

Im a sucker for the crunchy stuff.

Was yummy and now I feel very full.

Homemade chili. It was great.

Everyone else ate green chile smothered burritos, I ate a bowl of the burrito filling with extra sour cream, and I ate that one bite too much, and feel it still....someday I will learn!!!
