That sounds great Bobby. Are you eating other things too?

I'm doing the South Beach Diet again (kinda). I'm lacking the willpower I had the first time around and get off track by late afternoon most days. Oh well.

"i am trying a new diet. lean cuisine meatloaf with mashed potatoes and a lot of mixed vegetables"

That sounds excellent to me - the essentials are all there; protein, carbohydrate and lots of vegetables .

dinner last night was red curry talapia with califlower and green onions in coconut milk. it was very good, hubby liked it.
snacked on some almonds later.
Looking at recipes for tonight....
aluminum foil chicken and veggies which I got off the salad bar at whole foods.
spiral zuchini, yellow squash, shredded mixed carrots, mushrooms, some shredded butternut squash and green onions and a few colorful roasted peppers.
using grape seed oil and dijon mustard should be good.

That is lovely.

Your meals are so delicious.

Have a great day.

That sounds great, and healthy, Bizi

The aluminum foil meals did not cook the chicken we had to take them out and saute them separately.
I did not follow the directions exactly. now I know what I did wrong.
I should have put them directly on the rack and not on the cookie sheet. I should have put the chicken on the bottom of the pack not the top where there are multiple layers of wrapped aluminum foil the bottom has only one layer so it gets the most heat.
I will probably try it again
It all eventually tasted good which is what really mattered.
It was so disappointing to see the pack so perfect when we opened them up....so upsetting when they were raw when we cut them open.
oh well.

It sounds like that's a really great product, but it comes with pretty specific instructions. I'd probably screw it up on the first go-round, too.

I'm glad you were able to save the meal and enjoy it

I already took 2 pork chops out of the freezer, they run about $1.30 a chop.
Sunday night I am going to get the purple cabbage and carrots with some coconut oil, not sure of spices to use. I am a terrible cook.
Saturday I have wild caught salmon, 4oz filets at $3.75 a piece.
I just bought 4 pounds of florida sustainably raised talapia.it will be 16 meals. $2.50 each meal.
Friday night we will go to whole foods and eat off their salad bar and play trivia in the bar. It is always fun!
I am only buying organic fruits and veggies.
I eat at a health food store every day for lunch.
It is almost a sickness now....my food costs are out the window.
grass fed beef, eggs, dairy. I should learn how to grow my own veggies. They are so expensive!
I have to find a way to get a handle on our food costs.
and Am trying to follow a lower carb diet.

p.s. I think that I am a bit hypo about it right now.

Bizi, that looks great to me - it is all there; fish (great for essential fatty acids), meat, eggs, dairy and lots of fruit and veggies .

I can't help with growing your own veggies - my place doesn't get much sun so all that I have is pots of basil and chives by the front door.
