    I need inspiration too! I was out of town last weekend and didn't hit the grocery store... will probably grab some ground turkey breast and make southwestern turkey burgers + broccoli for dinner.

    My SO works nights during the week so it's just me for dinner.  I think I'm going to make a turkey sandwich with slices of green apple, avacado, and provolone cheese.  So yummy.

    ETA: A few nights ago I made chicken rollatini from skinny taste that was really good as well.

    We are having leftover Chicken Enchiladas that I made on Saturday night.

    They are super gooey and cheesy but are actually a weight watchers recipe and are fairly healthy.

    DH and I both love them.

    Here's the recipe:

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup fat-free sour cream

    • 1/4 tsp black pepper, Dash

    • 1/4 cup salsa

    • 3/4 tsp ground coriander

    • 1/2 cup onion(s), Chopped

    • 6 medium flour tortilla(s), 6-inch, 6 inch

    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

    • 2 medium Dole Bell Pepper, Chopped (3/4 cup)

    • 2 breast boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded

    • 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

    • cooking spray

    • 2 1/2 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth,

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350
    Sautee onion and bell pepper in a sauce pan w/ cooking spray.
    Combine flour, corriander, and black pepper in a medium bowl, gradually add broth, whisking until well-blended.
    Add to saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook for 3 min or until thick stirring frequently.
    Remove from heat, stir in cheese and sour cream.
    Combine 1-cup cheese mixture with chicken and salsa in a bowl.
    Spread 1/2 cup chicken mixture down center of each tortilla, roll up. Place in a 13 X 9 inch baking dish coated w/ cooking spray. Pour remaining cheese mixture over tortillas. Bake at 350 for 20 min or until bubbly.

    I made pepperoni bread for the superbowl last night and forgot to bake it. So it's still in my fridge and will probably be my totally unhealthy dinner.

    If i didn't have that though, I'd probably roast some shrimp (400 degrees, 10 mins) and have that with cannellini beans sauteed with some escarole.

    We're having grilled elk steaks & some kind of sauteed veggies. Yum.

    I'm jealous of all the enchilladas, though! We love enchilladas, and usually make them with natural chicken or turkey lunchmeat instead of tortillas since we eat low carb/grain free.

    We BBQ yesterday so we're having leftover BBQ chicken breast, mashed garlic potatoes, and veggies.  I'm also having a nice side salad of tomatoes and cucumbers drenched in balsmic vinegar.

    Vegetarian lasagna and salad.  Although I don't like ricotta cheese so I'll be finding something else to eat.

    @MissBoPeep:  We were planning on making the Skinny Taste chicken rollatini tonight!

     

    Work is rough though so instead I'm going to have tomato soup with a toasted cracked pepper turkey sandwich and FI will probably have soup or turkey dogs.

    @BayStateBride:  I have heard some people make lasagna with cream cheese, do you like that? I think it sounds weird, but apparently in some regions, it's more common to use cream cheese than ricotta. It's also cheaper!

    well, this was what was for dinner on Saturday, but it is MIGHTY TASTY and very easy! Everyone LOVED it! 

    Chicken and Cheddar Broccoli Braid! (PS-I didn't really braid it because I'm not quite THAT talented.)

    @baystatebride:  Since I have a dairy allergy when I make lasagne we use tofu to make a ricotti cheese imitation!  It has the same texture and works perfectly.  

    Here is how we do it:




    • 2 12-oz. blocks Extra Firm Silken Tofu,
    • 1 t. honey or agave nectar
    • 2 t. apple cider vinegar
    • 2 t. salt, plus more to taste

    Preparation:

    1. In a small bowl, mash the tofu with a fork or crumble with your hands. Mix in the remaining ingredients until well combined. Ricotta will keep for 3 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

    I'm thinking of making Whole grain pasta with oven dried tomatoes, butternut squash and asparagus (if I can talk myself into spending that much money on asparagus...)

    Superbowl snack leftovedrs lol.

    4 people who were supposed to come over for our superbowl party didn't show up so we have some left overs. I sent food home with a few of the people who came but I still have leftovers. I always make too much.

     

    I'm just going to make a salad and we'll eat that with the leftover wings, buffalo chicken balls and shrimp and chorizo quesadillas.

    to avoid going shopping today... I think we're just going to have salad, with various toppings that I happen to have around, and some breaded/fried chicken on top.

    @BoiledPNut:  It depends how you cook it but to me it tastes similar to brown rice but with a texture closer to what I'd imagine you'd get if you crossed brown rice with oatmeal. It's really yummy and usually super cheap (I buy mine from the bulk section at a regular grocery store for less than 2 dollars a pound.) You should try it!

    Those of you who posted links to skinnytaste - I think I love you! I desperately needed some inspiration for meals for me and my daughter while the Boy is gone. Yum!

    @BayStateBride:  do  you like cottage cheese? that's what my mom uses instead.

    @les105: we use cream cheese! I love it on my lasagna - just little drops in each layer, I think it's delicious!
     

    We'll be having chicken nuggets, tater tots, and salad. It's actually not too bad health-wise, but it's definitely a lazy night for us.
