Lunch: I totally made this up but it was PERFECT!!
Homemade red beans and turkey sausage (hearty but a lot of protein). I sauteed some diced onions in a pan with olive oil. Added 2 cans of kidney beans and 2 links of turkey sausage (sliced). Added a little over a cup of water. Salt, pepper and some cajun seasoning. Mix it all together and brought it all to a boil. While boiling I mashed up some of the beans in the pan. (I had read somewhere that mashing up about 2-3oz of the beans helps make the thick gravy). Brought it down to a simmer and put the lid on. Cooked about 20 minutes this way, lid off, took it back up to a boil and DONE!! Was perfect and a super low fat, high protein meal. Add rice if you want to. Rice makes me tooooooo full. I prefer to get the protein in.
Dinner: Bangin Good Shrimp over Asian Slaw
Click the link above for the recipe I used tonight.
-I do NOT like mayo and wish I would have thought to swap the mayo for greek yogurt. Would have been healthier. I didn't love the mayo at all but that is just a personal preference.
-I bought an Asian Slaw bag at Publix grocery store and it was YUMMY. It had the slaw, asian ginger dressing, almond slivers and some chow mein sticks. Ended up eating the slaw and only one shrimp. Didn't like the mayo in case you didn't know...ha ha
Here is what my dish looked like tonight. I only eat off of salad size plates at home now. I ate one shrimp and almost all the slaw.
