Tonight, for example, I knew I was tired of sandwiches and pasta and eggs, so I thought I’d pull out a can of pinto beans instead. Of course this is a great vegetarian way to get some good protein in, not to mention, fiber! So I put half of the can in a bowl and half in a container with a lid for another time. I heated up the bowl of beans.

When the bowl of beans were done, I added shredded cheese and mexican hot sauce. I used my whole wheat tortilla as a “spoon” and ate away. Oh yeah, I also added lite salt.

I prefer green chile or even red in my beans but I don’t always have that on hand, just like I don’t always have a crockpot of freshly made beans on hand either! So I do carry Mexican hot sauce (not like Louisiana hot sauce!) in the fridge. The one I have is called Valentino or something like that. You could also use salsa or green chile salsa if you want. I don’t like onions so that wouldn’t work for me.

Via Simpson’s Paradox : Line 70 is “Become Smoking Hot”

Southbeach whole wheat tortillas: I really like these. They are nice and hearty and fold well. Yummy. I buy these all the time

SB multigrain tortillas: These fall apart easily and I would only eat it if I wasn’t make a burrito

SB Cool Whip: Very good. It tastes good with jello or berries.

SB Pizzas: I really love these. Unfortunately, each one costs three dollars! So I only buy these when I have a coupon

SB breakfast burritos: These are really small, the tortillas are soggy and there are peppers and onions which I don’t like. Thumbs down but will eat if there is nothing else.

SB chicken ceasar wraps. These are pretty good. It inspired me to figure out how to make it on my own. To not freeze, the jello gets wierd

SB chicken, cranberry, mayo, pita chips. I LOVe this meal so much. I would eat it everyday if it were cheaper. SO filling and convenient. Also comes with jello

SB lunch meats. Eh, the same as any other lunch meat

SB Balsamic Vinegar dressing: Pretty good

I began by snacking on a pomegranate apple sauce, no sugar added, while preparing my meal. This is full of antioxidents and is SO good!

In a bowl I put romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, a bit of cabbage, grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds, sprinkle of lowfat bacon bits, and shredded cheese, all topped with italian dressing made with real olive oil.

In a whole wheat tortilla, I added pepperjack cheese, canadian bacon, and shredded turkey. I melted it in the microwave, added some mustard inside and that’s it.

I ate all this with some diet raspberry tea and it was a good meal.

Boil a pot of water. Add salt. When its boiling, add in whole wheat rigatonni (sp?)
Defrost and warm some frozen veggies like carrots and broccolli.
16 after the pasta has been boiling, remove and add to the veggies
Stir in some no sugar added sauce, any kind that is your favorite.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese, stir
And EAT!

That was my dinner. I thought of adding in chopped tomatoes but I decided to make the whole dish a warm one instead and the juice of tomatoes can sometimes make the meal watery. The sauce I used also had sundried tomatoes. Did you know tomatoes are a great source of lycopene?

In a large bowl, use a blender to mix:
Eggs, creamed spinich, green chile and cheddar cheese. Blending them makes them light and fluffy.
If you like onions (which I don’t) you can add those in. Other people enjoy putting artichokes, asparagus, or other veggies. Mushrooms would also work.

Add in your favorite seasonings and blend.
Pour the egg mixture into each of the silicon muffin pans. Top each one with shredded cheddar cheese.

Set your oven to 350 degrees and about 15min later you’ll have a whole batch of quiches ready for breakfast the next day!

Got a bowl and filled it with romaine lettuce and tomatoes. I added in pinto beans, red chile and fiesta cheese. It was so delicious and so much healthier than loading up on frito chips and putting extra cheese.

I was able to convert this “frito pie” into a healthy taco salad. I had two servings and each time I put a ton of veggies on the bottom. I would make eat this for dinner more often, pretty good last minute invention.

Best of all? It was Southbeach Diet friendly~!

Start off by making refreshing iced tea. Make it homemade. Brew the leaves (or bags) and after its done, chill in the fridge. I’m particular to the mint tea. Pour in glasses and top the rim with a slice of lime.

Spread lite cream cheese on whole grain bread, top with English cucumbers and sundried tomatoe. Slice in triangles.

Take a bowl and fill it with frozen berries. Sprinkle Splenda on top.

Put all of this on the table for your guests, as well as nice china to serve themselves with.

After my yummy lemon butter chicken is cooked thoroughly, I’m gonna cut it in strips and place over a salad of romaine lettuce blend with grape tomatoes. I’ll top it all off with a dressing made from 100% olive oil, it’s italian.

If I’m still hungry I might make a 1/2 a whole wheat tortilla quesadilla with shredded fiesta cheese, topped with a slice of real avacado.

Sounds yummy!!

Oh and I have a diet Snapple for a drink.

Ingrediants needed:
Can of tuna, drained (albacore if you prefer)
Big tub of sour cream (lowfat is preferable)
Sea salt (fine grain)
ground black pepper
paprika
garlic powder

In a bowl, mix together the drained tuna and sour cream. You should probably break up the tuna into small pieces before folding into the sour cream. Depending on your taste, add in the paprika, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper. Another good addition/replacement to the pepper would be lemon pepper instead. Shredded cheddar cheese always tastes good folded in as well.

Serve the tuna dip with pita chips or veggie sticks.
