Hm...I think dinner tonight may be peanut butter-sesame noodles with chicken. Veggies will either be peas or a salad.
After a 40-mile ride and next to no lunch - whatever I can lay my hands on :)
It looks like chicken, Basamati brown rice, and broccoli - and a small green-leaf salad. And a beer. :)
It's zucchini pasta with marinara sauce for us tonight...and fried chicken, corn on the cob and watermelon for the boys :)
Lamb chop, roasted brocolli drizzled with grapeseed oil, sweet corn on the cob. Sipping a lovely homemade (no mixes) margarita while it cooks.
Then back to the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo after.
Meat: Chicken breast dipped in a butter-lemon juice-spice mixture, then baked (I used garam masala with a touch of Madras curry powder for heat)
Carb: Corn salad. I used freshly roasted corn, half a seeded jalapeno, lots of cilantro, lime zest, part of a green onion, and garlic. Dressing consisted of melted butter with lime juice, cayenne pepper and cumin.
Veggie: Sauteed baby spinach with garlic
"Weird" side: half a baked-then-broiled peach with a balsamic glaze and a bit of blue cheese.
I think I'm doing the dishes, then getting out of the house for a while. It's hot, not aided by my doing all that cooking.
Cold tuna from the can, with olive oil and pickled capers.
After a long vacation, it's good to be back preparing one's own meals. And no it's not BBQ meal since BBQ's are forbidden on our condo balconies. ;)
Am making focaccia with sundried tomatoes, red peppers, onions, garlic and feta cheese.
Dessert focaccia with fresh blueberries, raspberries, sliced apricots drizzled with honey, spiced with cinnamon, fresh ginger root, cardamon, nutmeg, and crushed aniseed. It's mixed up creative. :)

Grilled chicken marinated in lemon, olive oil, and garlic that's served with a lemon-Dijon mustard sauce. I also made some green beans and roasted red potatoes from the local farmer's market.
Asiago bread, red pepper pesto, and a nice glass of Red Bicyclette Syrah.
Ooooh, I made a really healthy dinner tonight!
A big salad consisting of....
Fresh picked from my garden:
Butterhead & Simpson lettuces
Dark red beet leaves
scallions
Sliced (cooked and chilled) chioggia beets
cherry tomatoes
and added from the store:
cucumber
fresh mozzarella
Vinaigrette dressing
a glass of milk
For dessert: NJ blueberries and non-fat yogurt.
:D I feel so veggie-pious today! lol!
I've been using the livestrong website to track my nutrient totals and when it came to dinner tonight I was nearly at a loss. Somehow I managed to exceed my sugar 'daily allowance' earlier in the day by eating a salad comprised mainly of roma tomatoes (after having raspberry jam at breakfast), and my fat intake was also slightly surpassed. I'm hellbent on keeping my fat and sugar under my daily allowance total so tonight for dinner I had 4 scrambled egg whites and lightly salted cucumber spears. booooring :rolleyes:
Yummie! It is a great time of the year for such meals, for sure.Quote:
