October 23, 201411 yr Author All this food looks amazing. That calzone... man, I would eat that for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. DAYUM! Not the greatest picture, but here's what I made for lunch. Beef and broc stir-fry:

October 25, 201411 yr Spaghetti squash and chicken scampi casserole... It was really good... I mixed in some mushrooms and some sun dried tomatoes into the chicken scampi and poured that over a bed of spaghetti squash and topped it off with mozzarella cheese and green onions.

I mixed in some mushrooms and some sun dried tomatoes into the chicken scampi and poured that over a bed of spaghetti squash and topped it off with mozzarella cheese and green onions. Cooking the salmon tonight for lunch tomorrow. I woke up late because I haven't been sleeping well and wanted a quick, easy lunch without any cooking. Since Steve is not a fish person, we're having roasted sweet potatoes, pan fried chicken, and steamed broccoli/carrots tonight. I'll post a picture later. :)
October 25, 201411 yr Author Dinner tonight. So tasty and filling. Steve made pretty amazing sweet potato fries!

October 26, 201411 yr Dinner tonight. So tasty and filling. Steve made pretty amazing sweet potato fries! That looks so good!!!! I'm with Scott...that looks fabulous!!
October 26, 201411 yr Author Thanks guys! Steve gets all the credit this time. I just cut up the veggies, lol. The boy can cook!
October 26, 201411 yr So... this was breakfast/lunch today... yellow and green squash sautee with onions and cherry tomatoes left overs, turned into an omelette with greem onions and some cottage cheese and pepper jam on the side... I was stuffed for the day after this....
October 27, 201411 yr Author Yum Scott! Looks so good. I wish I could eat eggs. I have egg envy, lol. Steve and I went out for lunch for our 3-year anniversary tomorrow, but I knew exactly what I wanted to eat and tracked all of my calories beforehand. I had soup, a sandwich, and rice for 890 calories. No soda. I was proud of myself. For dinner, we made homemade meat sauce (garlic, pork, crushed tomatoes, vidalia onion) and brown rice fettuccine. Came to about 519 calories:
October 27, 201411 yr Last night I went with the meatloaf - I always make a glaze for the last 10 minutes of cooking - taste better then it looks.
October 27, 201411 yr I see you are garnishing Leanna... looks tasty!!! How are you making out with the rice pastas??? I have been using them but try to only cook what I am going to eat for that meal. I find that saving leftover rice pasta sort of works if you are reheating it slowly to re-serve. The lasagna worked out really well but only if reheated in the oven, the microwave was not invented for rice pastas. I will occasionally make a cold macaroni salad but cold rice pasta salads have a 24 hour or less window of good taste and texture. Got any secrets on how you deal with rice pastas?? Humbled... that looks really good. I am going to have to make a meatloaf soon, it is good fall season food. I will do a combo of beef turkey and pork. On a less healthy note... I am now working on making a pumpkin cheesecake... My plan is to use honey and goat cheese instead of sugar and cream cheese... not sure what to do for the crust yet, but I am thinking maybe some different nuts and coconut with honey and GF oats... any ideas?? I will keep you posted
October 27, 201411 yr Author The pumpkin cheesecake sounds delicious and so does your crust. I think you should go that route. Post lots of pictures! I'm fairly new to rice pasta, so I don't really have any tips yet. I agree though -- rice pasta was NOT made for microwaves. I too only make enough for one serving, just so I don't have to reheat. I'm still not completely sold on the taste yet, but last night's dinner was pretty good. I think I'm starting to enjoy the pasta more. On a related note, I completely changed my eating habits this week (more veggies, eating slower) and I've lost 12 pounds!
