11-9-10 took a long weekend, so haven't been home to cook. Going to have turkey chili tonight. I took it with me, so it's leftover. Family will still eat it up though! Serving with a salad too.

11-1-10 - got some of my homemade meatballs out of the freezer and simmered in Cibo's spaghetti sauce. Made some Dreamfields pasta for the kids. Put some mozzarella on top. Had a salad. Quick and YUMMY! If you're in my neck of the Ohio woods - pick up some Cibo's sauce it is SOOOO yummy!

10/27/10 - having some lentil soup. Looking up recipes from food.com.

10/26/10 - made scrambled eggs for the kids and DH and I had leftover spaghetti squash casserole from the diet meeting. It was good and seemed better the next day!

10/25/10 - leftover roast in the skillet w/ canned tomatoes (they had onion and celery in them), some chili seasoning, cumin and drained pinto beans. Let it simmer and served w/ shredded lettuce, low fat Mexican blend cheese and Greek yogurt. (I don't even use sour cream anymore). Kids used some low carb wraps to make burritos. DH and I just ate it as is.

10/24/10 - roast in crock pot w/ smoked paprika rubbed on it and a jar of roasted red peppers. Served w/ spaghetti squash. I took the broth and peppers and put it in the blender to make a sauce to serve over meat and squash.

10/21/10 - cold stove tonight. Hubby and I just arent hungry. Kids are having sandwiches w/ home made applesauce (frozen) and salad. If I get hungry later on, I'll probably have some leftover sauerkraut.

10/20/10 - tonight we had hamburgers on the grill w/ Arnold's round bread buns and I baked some fries for the kids. Also green beans and cottage cheese. I forgot how much Alex LOVES cottage cheese!

10/19/10 - quick chicken stir fry similar to my blog recipe over some cauliflower "rice". I made the cauliflower awhile ago and froze it. Just nuked in the microwave

10/18/10 - Sauerkraut and turkey kielbasa in the crockpot. Served with some mashed cauliflower and turnips. (Just steam then, mash them w/ mixer and add some Parmesan, low fat margarine and salt/pepper)
