What's on your "diet" table today?
Sometimes I'm so stumped for new things to make when I'm on a diet, and although there's a food thread in the Tea Room, many of the dishes aren't suitable for most diets...so, I thought it would be nice to post what we're preparing for the day's meals, or even one that day...variety is the spice of life, they say, so how about 'spicing' up each other's menus?
I'll start with dinner tonight:
1 turkey burger (grated carrot, small amount of bread crumbs, garlic, celery salt, pepper), fried in 1tbsp olive oil
1 tomato slice, one thin slice of red onion, 1 slice diet Swiss cheese, and 1/2C coleslaw (made up with diet coleslaw dressing)
1 whole wheat (small) hamburger bun.
Calorie total (although I'm not overly picky about it) around 318.

Tomorrow we'll have the Cheesy Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Chicken Breasts!
(although I wonder how many calories are in a frozen Jalapeno Popper and if that wouldn't be easier to roll inside a chicken breast.. :)
Breakfasts are either a toasted tomato sandwich, or a bowl of cereal (around 110cal) with skim milk or a half cup of plain yogurt, some Bran Buds and a drizzle of honey, with some fresh blueberries (I don't always have berries)
Lunch is my tricky one, since I can't eat large salads, so an omelet with low fat cheddar cheese and green onions from our garden, or the tomato sandwich, or a ham sandwich...
Good luck to anyone who's dieting!!
