Hello,

I would love some meal ideas for Breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I need to start working on increasing my calorie count while getting in the Protein. So would I would love to here what works for others.

Looking forward to hearing about some great ideas.

Thanks

Asparagus and yams can still be in your diet. Just follow a couple of guidelines. Asparagus...get the "thin stemmed" because it's younger and hasn't had the time to build up stringy Fiber like the "fatter" stems. Yams/sweet potatoes...smaller potatoes, just like the asparagus has less time to build fiber. If you've ever baked a large sweet potato you've seen evidence of the fiber.

I like to have some convenience meals in my planning ... this will be a great addition to your planning.

-Take a sheet of foil

-place a boneless skinless chicken breast or hamburger steak in the center

-for the chicken, add a tablespoon or so of chicken broth; for the beef, add worcestershire sauce and a little Water

-top either with 3-4 slices of potato, a bit of onion, garlic, carrots, broccoli, seasoning

-fold foil into a package, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes at 350.

The meat will be moist and tender, your side dish will be ready at the same time, and clean-up is just throwing away the foil and juices.

Cathy, that sounds DELICIOUS! I am definately trying the tin foil treat. What a perfect way to get my entire meal cooked at once, with no clean up like you said. Its hard when im cooking for my family and im trying to pick off what they are having, so this is prefect. Brings a whole new meaning to " HOT POCKETS ". Thank you so much. I cant wait to try it.
