I had shepherd's pie, homemade. It was really good, but once again Babyruth's dinner sounds better.

Wondering if I could find her house and just mysteriously show up in time for dinner......LOL

LOL Y2krazy. Do you have a GPS?
I've been trying to think up and make 400 calorie dinners that are healthy, easy and tasty this past month (most days anyway). The Girl Scout cookies are my downfall...

No, GPS. I want to get one soon. Or rather DH does. We used one when we were in Banff last year. BIL has a portable one so we could use it in the rental. It was great.

I've got some chicken in the slow cooker in an herb and garlic sauce and it smells so good in here.

Went to Panera while out doing errands. Vegetable soup and salad, whole grain bread. Got home and had 2 small peppermint patties. :-)

Tonight DH took me to Garden Buffet, an Asian buffet. It's my birthday and the food was great! It was a good birthday.

Had planned on shrimp adobo, but when a student showed up today with pizza subs I'd ordered from her fund raiser (and the stack of 200 papers was staring me in the face), I changed my mind and the fam had subs. I'm having popcorn! We'll do the shrimp this weekend 'cuz it's yummy.

Last night was the first time I ever made the corned beef in the crock pot, and it was so yummy and only 3 ingredients, I have to share what I did. I didn't use a recipe, I just thought this sounded good in my head so I did it.

I took one of those vacuum packed hunks of corned beef, rinsed all the seeds and things off of it. (That's important to do because some of those spices taste awful if you bite into them directly when they are in the soup part)

Put the corned beef on the crock pot.
Pour a bag of that ready chopped coleslaw over it. (you know stuff, it's with the bagged lettuce at the grocery store, and it also has chopped carrots in it with the cabbage.)
Pour a full can chicken broth over it.

Cook on low overnight. At some point open it just once and push the shredded cabbage down into the broth after it has shrunk a bit and give it all a baste.

It's ready to eat then, but I did the additional step of letting it cool, putting it all in the fridge, and then lifting off the chunks of fat on top of the soup part. The cabbage soup part is so yummy! Way better than when my mom used to make it by just adding water.

Made a super-easy, yummy pasta w/a tomato, basil, clam sauce. Came from the Mayo Clinic site and was definitely a hit with the family.

I'm trying a new chicken sandwich recipe tonight. It's got a lemon/cream cheese spread that you put on the Italian rolls that you've toasted. You take the chicken tenders and put a lemon pepper mix on them and broil them, put them on the rolls with lettuce and red onion. I hope it's as tasty as the picture in the magazine looks.

We tried a "portabello mushroom, tomato, white bean ragout" that appeared in the Chicago Tribune a week ago. It was delicious! Leeks, portabellos, diced tomatoes, white beans (called for cannellini, we used northern), balsamic vinegar, rosemary, salt, papper and a couple of tablespoons of heavy cream. It was a one pan deal and very filling!

We are going to my brother's for corned beef and cabbage today. He makes the best! It's an early celebration for St. Patrick's Day.

Mmmm....sounds good, Mamie!

We had a low-fat stir-fry chicken/rice/carrot/apple juice meal with broccoli on the side, a fresh fruit salad, with ice cream for dessert.

It's sandwich night on homemade kaisers. I've been following a Bread Baking challenge and am doing a formula a week. I've been looking forward to this week.

It's Sunday, so DH cooked: home-made meatballs in tomato sauce (from a jar) over gnocchi. Very good, but certainly not low in carbs. I love that he will cook once a week so he is happy with the dinner.

Grilled some steelhead and did zucchini/onion, mushrooms and yukon gold potatoes all in separate pouches on the grill, too. Gotta' celebrate the warmer weather! :-)
