So i'm thinking of marinating some boneless chix in some low cal. extra light italian dressing w/some garlic & onion....i have yet to cook chicken w/italian dressing & always hear that i should! lol...anyways, so i'm going to make that, w/some roasted potatos & a big salad... i am trying to cook healthier being that dh has to drop a little weight within the next 2 weeks....i made him eggwhites this morning for breakfast(rather than his usual bagel (sometime TWO!) globbed w/cream cheese ) , a lunch w/no carbs either but some granola to snack on(switching that to yogurt tomorrow ).. He is a carb-o-holic, so i figured if i cut the majority of that out of his diet, plus him running each night & drinking plenty of water, a small amount of potatos should be okay w/dinner right???
anyways - what is everyone else making???

I'm marinating chicken in Italian dressing too! Then tossing it on the good old Foreman grill. I've done it before and its really good. Not sure of sides, some sort of frozen vegetable and maybe rice.
Question: what are other good sides besides vegetables, potatoes or rice? I never know what else to make!

bean salad is yum! It's not actually a vegetable. DH made a tuscan white bean and tuna salad that is a great side. You could also make a whole wheat pasta salad.

one time i chopped up some HUGE vidalia onions, tossed them in some egg & then some flour that i seasoned w/complete season(but use whatever u like)...i fried 'em up & they were like onion rings! DELISH! but SOOOO not healthy good for a change though once in a while! i usually try to stick to veggies but i try to switch up HOW i make them...like i have a really awesome twist on string beans that i got from WW, or make a corn salsa/salad... u just have to try to be creative! Baked potatos are always a yummy/filling side too...

I am eating some pork gyoza pot sticker things from Trader Joe's. Everyone always talks about how great they are, so I made sure I grabbed a bag and I am going to try that tonight. DH doesn't feel well, so he isn't going to eat :)

Ok so you may think this is gross OR heaven. We love it and my mom makes it as a 'treat' for us LOL
Bake a vidalia onion and then chop it up and marinate it in balsamic vinegar with a little bit of EVOO in it
O M GOD i could live off this!!!!!

That sounds soooo good, but I'm starting to eat healthier too! My problem is that i am so NOT creative in the kitchen! I love baked potatoes and sweet potatoes mmmmmm!

I love making a tuscan bean salad as a side. So good and low cal!
I don't know what I'm going to make. I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer to defrost it and DH already left for his second job. I might make whole wheat pasta and spinach.

Re: Dinner Dinner what's for dinner?!
DH was supposed to make roasted pork loin and asparagus, but we have to help my Uncle at his house so we'll probably just order pizza. I'm upset about that, I was looking foward to eating healthy!
