healthy dinner ideas

anyone have them? we're making the shopping list for this week, and we're trying to get serious about getting back into shape.

our menu for this week so far:

* chicken sausage & peppers with roasted apples & butternut squash
* black bean chili and tortilla chips
* garlic marinated tofu, spinach, and mushrooms over cous cous
* pasta and turkey meatballs

Re: healthy dinner ideas

I am doing weight watchers and planned all my meals this week too! Once night I am doing a chicken roll up. Thin chicken cutlet, add some fat free mozz. cheese and slice of red pepper and roll. Stick a toothpick in it to keep it rolled. Add some parsley and rosemary on top and bake in the oven! Serve with veggies or baked potato!

Re: healthy dinner ideas

It's always good to get some protein to have a healthy diet... so we always add steak and lamb chops to our list. lol

Re: healthy dinner ideas

Add fish to the list. Swordfish or salmon steaks are my fave. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, def pick up some fish.

Is the fish from Trader Joe's frozen or fresh?

it's frozen, but a lot of it is wild, which is hard to find.
