Although I do like to cook nutritionally sound meals with organic ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, whole grains, fresh and healthy. Sometimes I'm tired. Sometimes I just want to whip something up and have supper.
I have a job. Actually, I have two jobs, but who's counting, right? I also have a house to clean and dishes to wash and laundry to do. So, sometimes, I just want something quick and easy, but still low in calories. If you are in my shoes, I have some ideas....
Tonight we had Sam's Choice Three Cheese & Jalapeno Stuffed Chicken Breast. It was good. Really good. There are two chicken breasts per package and each has only 230 calories and 9 grams of fat. Now, that's about 35% fat, but if you're calculating overall fat, 9 grams isn't too bad.
I also fixed Schwan's Fire Roasted Vegetables. We love these! At about 60 calories per 3/4 cup (or 85 grams) they're a wonderful side dish. That's about 120 calories for 1 1/2 cups and will really fill you up.
To add some good antioxidants, I opened a jar of pickled beets. (I know, this was a really hard meal!). About 1/2 cup adds about 50 calories to your meal.
One yummy stuffed chicken breast, 1 1/2 cups fire roasted veggies and 1/2 cup pickled beets made for a very filling and tasty meal. All this for right at 400 calories. You can't hardly beat that!
Bossman was full and happy. He even had room for dessert.
