Re: dinner thread!

Oh no!! I get enough pressure during the day. lol I'm trying a new recipe. It's called Red Snapper con queso. Broil the fish and then put a mixture of grated cheddar, dijon mustard, horseradish and chili sauce (I'll have to improvise something there) and broil for another minute or so until melted.

We've been craving fish and we bought all different kinds on the weekend so I thought I'd try something new. We'll probably just have salad with it.

Re: dinner thread!

I bought a kabocha squash. So he's in the oven roasting right now. Also in the oven are a couple of turkey legs. So tonight will be the squash, turkey legs and sauteed broccoli. Not very gourmet but it's a weeknight....

Re: dinner thread!

I made chicken chow mein for the family. After checking the ingredients I discovered it's all stuff I can have! Whoo hoo. I ate mine with mashed cauliflower as the rice. I felt like part of the family.

Chicken broth
celery
onion
grated ginger
soy sauce
red pepper flakes
sesame oil
bamboo shoots
bean sprouts
water chestnuts
canned chicken (white meat)

MMMM, was good!

Re: dinner thread!

we had chicken tenderloins fried up with parmesan and some spices for seasoning. i am definitely not the best cook in the world, but it tasted like good comfort food add some low carb BBQ sauce and a salad...that's dinner!

Re: dinner thread!

That was the first time I've ever eaten kabocha squash....it's delicious! It's sorta like a sweet potato in taste and texture. I ate it as a veggie side dish: a sprinkling of salt and some butter.

I saved the seeds, so hopefully I'll be able to grow my own supply next year.

Re: dinner thread!

My dinners are not very "low" carb these days...but they ARE legal. Tonight is open-faced grilled pastrami and swiss on rye (100% whole grain, it's very dense) with garden tomato-basil salad and coleslaw. Dessert is apples with maple-pecan cream cheese (1T s/f maple syrup, 2T chopped pecans, 4 oz cream cheese, makes 4 servings).

Get to Maintenance you guys!!!

Re: dinner thread!

I packed what I had for dinner yesterday and will take it to work for dinner tonight ...

lets keep trying ..for some more creative and fun ideas for foods...

the season is changing and so are the fruits and veggies...I love the fact apples are part of my diet I add them to all kinds of dishes now ....
