What's for dinner?



Recommended Posts

I don't usually have a problem figuring out what to eat for Breakfast or lunch, but I'm continually stuck (heh heh) on what to have/make for dinner. Sometimes I'll have eggs, sometimes the insides of a burrito, grilled fish, or just a yogurt and some Peanut Butter on a tortilla.

I bet others have the same problem, so I thought I'd start a "what's for dinner" thread. Post what you're having for dinner tonight - maybe we'll all get some good ideas!

I went to Trader Joes this afternoon and got some salmon burgers, so I'm going to grill one of those tonight, together with a green salad and some tomatoes from the garden.

What about you?

Salmon is my favorite ( do not over cook) seasoned and ith lemon.

chicken is goo d to with your favorite seasoning added......doesn't take long to broil or grill. Flatten a breAST SOME AND COOKING TIME IS LESS...

Tonight we're having stuffed patty pan squash. I brown some bulk sausage and onions and drain it really well. I make some stuffing mix and mix the sausage with the mix. I hollow out a patty pan squash (looks like a turban) or I use a large zuccini and and steam it in salted Water until tender. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Stuff with the sausage mix. Pour Prego Tomato sauce over the top and sprinkle with mozarella and parmesan cheese and bake until golden brown and bubbly. DELICIOUS and goes down easy. It's fairly soft. It's become a familiy favorite.

deGirl, I've seen that thread, but I'm more interested in just dinner ideas. :biggrin:

Tonight: very lean chicken sausages, grilled, with a green salad with tomatoes from the garden.

Our tomatoes had a bad year this year, with all the romas afflicted with blossom end rot, and the cherries not producing as heavily as other years. Lovely Seattle weather strikes again!

Aubrie, that patty pan squash dish sounds interesting - I'll try to get some squash from the farmers' market tomorrow!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
