Do you have any HEALTHY dinner ideas?

Deep fried breaded butter sticks? I'm joking! LOL!
How about seasoned baked boneless skinless chicken breast, cut up over romaine salad, with grape tomatoes, a little 2% milk cheese or feta cheese, and a light vinegrette? I love doing stuff like that once in a while.

Thats great if I can get my husband to go for it. He will say that wont fill him up I am guessing..but I may just need to start making different things for us because he eats all the stuff I try to stay away from and its always in the house! Drives me crazy because it makes it SO much harder for me to eat healthy.

I subscribe to Cooking Light. Some of the recipes are complicated but most are easy, filling and healthy. Some of my family's favorite meals use recipes from the magazine. Check out their website http://www.cookinglight.com/. Good Luck!

we do a stir fry weekly. there are even stir fry sauces with all natural ingredients too!

If he's afraid of a salad not filling him up, what about making garlic bread on the side? A salad is surprisingly filling with all the chewing that's involved!

Chicken with Asparagus and Roasted Red Peppers

1/2 cup chicken broth (or more as needed)
1 pound boned and skinned chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped roma (plum) tomatoes
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1.Heat the broth in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and place in the skillet. Cook 15 minutes, until chicken is almost done.
2.Place asparagus, red peppers and garlic in skillet. Continue cooking 10 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear and asparagus is tender. Place tomatoes in skillet during last 2 minutes of cook time. Sprinkle with vinegar. Top with mozzarella cheese to serve.

We are having grilled chicken, baked potatoes, salad, some veggie.

My general rule of thumb is: 1 protein/whole grain + 1 veggie

ex. baked chicken and steamed broccoli, baked fish and potatoes, wheat pasta and salad, etc.

My favorite dish is baked yams w/ onions and garlic--delicious!

I made a roast chicken yesterday that was AMAZING. You cut up potatoes, carrots and onions, toss in a little olive oil and salt and pepper and fresh thyme. Stuff the chicken with a lemon cut in half, a head of garlic cut in half, and a handful of fresh thyme. Brush the outside with just a bit of butter and lots of salt and pepper, then bake on top of the veggies for an hour and a half. You can just pitch the skin if you want it to be really healthy, but it is tasty if you want to splurge a bit. The veggies come out amazing.

Then you can eat the left over chicken on a salad the next day.
