more protein!) and an orange.

I had some diced cooked chicken and brown rice, tossed with a big

portion of frozen mixed veggies. I sprinkled a little teriyaki sauce

on top, along with a dash of soy sauce, and popped it in the micro for

two minutes. Very filling!

dirty rice and a salad. And for the gal who asked, I modified K-'s recipe,

so I used their

spice mix, sauteed a pound of ground turkey for about 10 minutes, added the

spice mix and 1/2

pound of chicken sausage, for about 4 minutes, added a chopped onion, chopped

green pepper, four

cloves of garlic and sauteed about 4 minutes, then I added 2 cups of fat free

organic chicken

broth and 3/4 cup of brown rice, turned it down, put a lid on it and cooked it

for 45 minutes.

Let it set for 15 more minutes and AAAEEEE!

I had a mixed green salad with leftover flank steak, cukes, roasted red

peppers, and the tiniest bit of blue cheese. I used roasted garlic olive

oil and champagne vinegar for dressing. I had an orange for dessert and it

was delish! Surprisingly I was happy that free day was over!

I made baked salmon with emeril¹s fish rub and olive oil spray, baked

cauliflower and broccoli with garlic and onion powder and butter spray and a

small sweet potato. I saved half the veggies and half the salmon (3 c

veggies and 3 oz salmon) for a snack later. I enjoyed the fish and veggies

and then sprinkled my sweet potato with cinnamon and splenda and had it for

dessert! YUM!!!! I will eat the other 3 oz salmon and 3 c veggies with a

piece of fruit later today.

The best thing is that when I first made the meal, 6 oz salmon and 6 c

veggies I had planned to eat it all!!!! Then I said, hmm. I will eat half

and see how I fell. Half was enough.

When I started BFL, I assumed a piece of salmon (from the bag of

individually wrapped frozen salmon that I get at Sam's club) was a

portion. Then I realized that it's really 2 portions for me.

At first it looked like " oh, woe is me. such a small amount of food "

Now, I'm like - " ahhh. Way to go! This is the perfect amount of food. "

Did you share any of your veggies with your daughter?

Hi n,

Are you getting wild salmon? I have read horrible things about the salmon

farm in Peru where walmart/sams buys their salmon...I don¹t remember my

source but remember stuff about polluted water, over crowding and hormones

and additives. ... I will see if I can find the article I read...think my

husband sent it to me...will ask him...

My lovely Emma is at Preschool. She loves broccoli but says cauliflower is

yucky.... But she took a ham sandwich ( lean) on whole wheat, a piece of 2%

cheese, a big carrot ( she is a bunny today) and oranges, water and milk for

her lunch and I snuck in 1 small piece of Easter chocolate. She loves

asparagus and corn so she is getting that for dinner....if she will hold

still long enough to eat.....lol...she is wiggly at dinner so I feed her her

larger breakfasts and lunches and she snacks on cheese and fruit

usually...although I think she has eaten of whole bag of carrots this

weekend...sharing with her puppy I am sure...

I¹m making poached chicken (trying n¹s suggestion of poaching it with

lemon) and a bunch of broccoli. I had way too many carbs yesterday and the

day before, so today I¹m going to have some meals that are lower carbs for a

little balance.

[Guest guest]

We had a whole thread about salmon (either on this group, or BFFM) a couple

of weeks ago.

Based on the amount I eat, and our current finances, I am not currently

making the change to wild salmon - but thanks for asking!

When my daughters were about.... 8 and 11, I guess, they needed to wear

costumes for a 4th of July parade; the theme was The American Farmer. My

older daughter decided to be a carrot (we made a great headpiece, using a

headband and plastic greenery), and my younger daughter was a bunny

(nibbling at her older sister and annoying her the whole time).

Enjoy your daughter - the years go by fast.

I thought my lunch was delicious until I read Kate's

Yum, yum! I want an invitation to her house.

I had a QUICK meal of thrown together stuff from the 'frig microwaved

to a nice warm temp.

Spaghetti Squash

tomato/garlic sauce

Added later...chopped fresh parsley and fresh garlic (I keep a tiny

food processor/chopper on the counter)

with a dollop of whipped cottage cheese mixed with 1T flax oil

I bumped up the protein with the whites of 3 of the hardboiled Easter eggs

Plus a big glass of water

It's a meal I often have.

Busy day!

ps Are the rest of you eating enough veggies? (Sounds like my mom

I'm PMSing and needing comfort food... So I had two breakfasts... first was

turkey bacon, low fat cheese and a whole wheat english muffin and some

grapes, and 2nd meal was oatmeal, egg beaters, and some diet hot cocoa...

probably could have skipped the hot cocoa, but it was just what i needed to

feel a little better

[Guest guest]

I took 4 chicken breasts, 1/2 head of cauliflower, 10 new mexico green

chiles, 1 lg can of hominy and 1 corn tortilla (to even up the carbs)

along with a few cans of chicken broth, and put it all in my pressure

cooker. Then I cooked it for about 15 minutes.

I mixed it all up (it's thick pasole/stew) and served it into 4 Ziploc

containers (after chopping the chicken and adding some garlic salt).

It was SO GOOOOOD. Such comfort food for me. I'm going to enjoy it

all week! And, very filling.

And totally BFL authorized. I could even add some FF sour cream...

nah, it's perfect without it.

Yuuuuum.

This sounds great - I assume it can be made in a regular pot?

I love the whole grains and grits and old-fashioned simplicity

I'm sure it'll work in a regular pot, but not in 15 minutes. ;-)

I'd say cook the veggies, corn tortilla and broth together until the

cauliflower is very very tender and then add the chopped chicken.

Cooking the chicken in that broth will make it so delicious. The 1

corn tortilla added a little something to the overall flavor, kind

of unexpected (I just didn't want to open another can of hominy). I

was going for 20g P/C per serving (I don't count veggies in my

ratios). You can omit the corn tortilla if you like (it only added

15 carbs to the entire recipe).

Now n, you know the impatience I possess, does it surprise you

one bit that I own a pressure cooker? heehee.

No really, they are the best for making quick soups and tender

lowfat meat. Cauliflower is just part of the broth after it's

cooked in a pressure cooker. Even beans are yummy and tender in a

pressure cooker after just 20-30 minutes. I can even cook a frozen

roast in about 40 minutes.

Has anyone tried that rotisserie chicken seasoning? That sounds so

good!

I have the rotisserie chicken seasoning and LOVE it... :-) It is soooo quick to

throw on chicken and grill it up... lol :-) Gives it lots of flavor! My hubby

does enjoy that... he drowns his chicken in bbq sauce for dipping afterwards,

but loves the seasoning.
