My favorite dinner recipe is spagehtti squash with green and red peppers, zuchinni, onions and grilled chicken.
Funny you mentioned that because I just had that the other night.  Thanks for being involved in this portion of the site.  I would love to hear more.

Episode 2 got me thinkin- my brother swears by the frozen meals and I've never liked them, so when you said those weren't good for the body I started creating plan ahead, healthy recipes in my head. Went to the grocery store and stayed up till 3 am making food magic! Here are my best  so far:

Brown Rice, 1/2 Chicken breast, and asian vegetable medley (mushrooms,onions, green beans, and broccoli)

I cooked the rice and chicken but left the veggies frozen. After I preportioned them I put a little chicken stock over the top. Popped it in my freezer and microwaved it for lunch today. Just added a little soy sauce- it was as good as takeout!!

Grilled Chicken and Spinach Salad
Fresh spinach, red onion, roasted red pepper, 1 strip turkey bacon and a chicken breast.
I dressed it with a low fat honey mustard (fat free mayo, dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey)

Thanks for the continued inspiration Jessie- you rock!

Dinner is always a tough one for me, but i don't think you can ever really go wrong with steak, baked potatoe and steamed veggies. Portion controll is what matters

Here is one that i eat most nights of the week. 1 cup of brown rice or quinea mixed with seared tuna (6oz) with a spoon of mustard. I know it sounds wierd but my friends when tried also loved it.
