What's For Dinner: Part 2

[scottinpa]

I made about a gallon or so of baked beans. Its picnic time here and I cant eat any of the store brands.

[scottinpa]

Chicken Breast stuffed with spinach mushroom and cheese with garlic pesto brushed over the top. I am saving this one for this weekend so it is in the freezer for a couple days

 

[scottinpa]

It's all vegetables...
spiralized zucchini sauteed with mushrooms and tomatoes. I sauteed it with some of the garlic pesto and sprinkled some parm cheese over the top.
Really good lunch

[scottinpa]

Your meals always look so yummy! Now I am craving baked beans. Yum!

 

Grilled salmon, cauliflower "mac and cheese", steamed snow peas, and a cucumber/tomato/celery salad.

Yummy!  Miss this thread!  

 

Just made some pico de gallo to put on top of baked tilapia and quinoa.  

[Petra]

Chicken with olive oil, red bell peppers, balsamic vinegar, chopped flat leaf parsley and a shake of red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. 

Also made home made croutons out of left over bread - which will be yummy or like flavored bits of the hardest substance known to man.  :)

 

[Petra]

Here's the full plate.  Red Quinoa , Red Pepper Balsamic Chicken, Baby Greens & Veggie Salad w/Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar and parsley dressing and Parmesan Croutons made from leftover bread.

(The chicken wasn't as burnt as it looks. :)

I made cauliflower "mac" and cheese tonight. It was amazing!

Hey Leanna. Cauliflower Mac n cheese sounds interesting. How do you make it? Is it healthier than actual pasta?

[Leanna]

Oh yeah, it's definitely healthier than pasta! Cauliflower is low carb. :) Here's the recipe:

Cauliflower makes a great replacement for low cal mac and cheese, I do it all the time too.

Another trick is to use a rice pasta, I like the brown rice pastas because they cook and act just like the wheat pasta. But beware that rice proucts are high in sugar content so if you are watching your blood sugar pay attention.

NOTE: you can also use cauliflower in place of rice.. its called cauliflower rice...( google it )... its really easy, you just process the cauliflower until its a rice size consistency. I cook it with a bit of olive oil and garlic in a saute pan, it cooks really quick.  

 

Your cauli mac & cheese looks way better than mine Leanna :)

 

WOW! It's been Nine months since I visited this thread... :wacko:

I actually saw cauliflower rice pre-prepared and packaged in the supermarket the other day which had me chuckling.

Dinner tonight was grilled sausages, mashed avocado, a salad, grilled asparagus, and roasted B. Sprouts. :D
