Here is a destination for us all to post our recipes that we use while trying to lose weight.
Sometimes is can get old eating the same thing over and over so....

LETS SHARE!

Wow! That was fast!! Thanks for starting this!

I do have lots of recipes to share. I'll be posting them whenever I get a chance. I know that all recipes won't work for all of us (some of us are trying low-fat, some low-carb, etc). But, hopefully, they'll be helpful!

Ok, here is my first "recipe"

It's my yummy gluten free Red beans and rice

This is for a single serving

1/2 brown rice or white rice (i use insant white, cant stand brown)
1/4 c canned kidney beans
chicken breast OR turkey hotdogs OR sausage (I use a less amount of meat if its higher in fat) I either use one hotdog or 4oz chicken or 1/2 cup ground sausage

It then spice with salt, pepper, onion powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic salt and basil.

Its nice and filling, low fat and healthy. Also gluten free :) I eat this almost every day, so i can get my grains in.

I eat a lot of fish...but sometimes I get hungry for fried fish! So, here's my go-to recipe. BTW...almost everyone in the family loves it!

OVEN FRIED TILAPIA

1 lb Tilapia, thawed
1/4 cup flour (seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste)
3 egg whites, beaten
2 cups Corn Flake crumbs

Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray
Lightly coat each piece of tilapia in seasoned flour, dip into egg whites, then coat with Corn Flake crumbs.
Bake at 400 for 6 minutes on each side.

This will come out really nice and crispy! It's good on a bun too, if you're not dieting (or if you saved enough calories/points for it).

I need ideas for easy and quick meals for me (trying to get healthy) and my 4 boys, that I homeschool...I really wanna get the processed foods out of our diets or at least minimized-I feel like all they eat is pizza, mac-n-cheese, and hotdogs. Any help is appreciated;-)

PS, I'm thinking lunch ideas as I already try to make a decent dinner
