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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
