I am attempting to be creative and give us a variety of dinner options that stay within our eating guidelines. The past five cooked dinners, we've had the following modified lower carb/lower fat meals:
Turkey Taco Salad
Crock Pot Beef Roast and Asparagus
Turkey Burger and Baby Vegetable Medley
Chicken Cacciatore
Rotisserie Chicken with Caesar Side Salad
All meals have turned out well and a couple of them had leftovers to have for lunch over the weekend or dinner for the next night. Coming up in the next few days, I am planning:
Chef Salad with tuna(instead of ham), turkey, egg, cheese etc.
Thin Crust Pizza
Crock Pot Turkey Chili
I am really looking forward to chili. I've always loved it. It is great that is is already a higher protein lower carb option and as long as I use a lean meat (93/7 turkey this time) it is a lower fat option too. And it is so warm... I love soup/chili in winter.
I have ham I could use in the Chef Salad, but I am trying to incorporate more fish into our diets. I am generally not a fan unless it is deep fried, but it is healthy and my husband loves it. We have canned tuna, so that is the route I am taking this week. Next week, I think I will visit a store and pick up some type of fresh fish to bake or grill. I think I am going to shoot for having fish once a week. Up until I go into full liquid mode at least.
