Well they are not for dinner tonight...

but last night I spent about 3 hours (and one bottle of wine) putting these turkey pot pies together. I had made the filling on two days before. they are all packaged and in the freezer for this winter.

Good old winter warmer for us. Sausage, mash and gravy with smoked pancetta and chopped spring onions.

Teriyaki stir fry, this was 228 calories and I was full all night!

 

Anyone looking for a tasty low calorie meal who likes tilapia

really filling but looking for a different fish or chicken option.

 

Recipe for 1

Teriyaki marinade 10ml       27 calories

Pan fried tilapia 70g             90 calories

Saute spinach 50g                15 calories

Brocoli saute 30g                  11 calories

4 strips pepper red               9 calories

15g egg noodles                  26 calories

mango/chilli dip sauce 30g   50 calories

 

Clove of garlic in some olive oil for the saute veg.

 

It was really nice but the fish isn't my thing. x

This looks tasty.

 

I like tilapia because it is not too fishy. I can't eat certain types of fish because I hate the overwhelming taste of them.

This tastes way better than it looks in this picture...Pork Chops, field peas with snaps, and onions in the slow cooker...

Decided to get creative tonight and made a new dish. It's standard bacon-wrapped chicken but I marinated the chicken in A1 Steak Sauce for an hour before wrapping and baking it. It's excellent! (I have seen something similar but using teriyaki sauce, which is too sweet for me). 

 

Here is the marinated chicken on top of the bacon strips.

Here are the wrapped chicken strips heading for the oven.

Here is the finished product. Served with rice pilaf (with mushrooms and pine nuts) and spinach/mushroom salad.

Dinner tonight. Ham. Never cooked one before and didn't follow a recipe, so here's to hoping!

W-w-e-e-l-l-l, let's not call it "finding something to eat". Let's say we head to the kitchen filled with creative inspiration (i.e., inspired to eat).  :)

I wanted some chili yesterday, but am trying to eat healthier again. I just substituted ground chicken for the beef, kept everything else the same. I almost like it better than the beef :)

I think the ground chicken makes it chewier in a good way lol.  Nice to know I can have my chili without all the guilt.  

 

Tonight I'm making Placki ziemniaczane...Polish for potato pancakes.  Back to good eating tomorrow, I promise :)

On a bed of brown rice is a baked chicken breast stuffed with spinach and mushrooms, served with a pear, parmesan & green onion cream sauce.
