Yum, fish tacos again!

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Beebamom

I was reading through my recent menus and decided that it was all too plain – a protein, a starch and a vegetable. I think my recent weight gain from our trip to Italy encouraged me to eat strictly. But … Continue reading →

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Beebamom

As promised, here is the exotic meal of the week. This year I think I have had beef twice. So finding a low calorie alternative is a good thing. We bought these bison medallions in the freezer case at Whole … Continue reading →

Sauteed red snapper with butternut squash and green beans

Posted on December 11, 2011 by Beebamom

I have always been afraid to cook fish at home. When I was growing up, we never had fish – not even on Fridays when, as a Catholic, you couldn’t eat meat. My father abhorred fish. Apparently it was forced … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2011 by Beebamom

Yikes! Chicken again? In an attempt to show what I actually eat on a day to day basis, it’s difficult not to have the same thing come up again and again. I do, however, promise bison this coming week. What … Continue reading →

Seared scallops with baked potato and green beans

Posted on December 5, 2011 by Beebamom

Roast breast of chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy and green beans

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Beebamom

I have been sick this week and didn’t feel much like cooking or eating. On top of that I am scheduled to have a diagnostic test next week which puts me on a low-fiber diet. Low-fiber, not a really good … Continue reading →

Pork stir-fry

Posted on November 29, 2011 by Beebamom

John always seems reluctant to have stir-fry but we had leftover pork and it needed to be used. There was only 5 oz. of pork and 1 cup of rice to split between the two of us so we needed … Continue reading →

Roasted pork tenderloin with sweet potatoes and broccoli

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Beebamom

I am working on getting back on the diet express. I seem to have taken the local lately with too many stops and layovers. I lost about 1/2 lb. over Thanksgiving week and it’s full steam ahead now. Or at … Continue reading →

Shrimp creole again

Posted on November 27, 2011 by Beebamom

I know I need to broaden my repertoire since here is shrimp creole making a second appearance. We have this pretty frequently since it is low in calories, tasty and you get to eat a giant bowl of food (GBOF). … Continue reading →
