Ooh, those drumsticks look really good, jenny1980! I wish my H wasn't weird about dark meat chicken. We're doing chicken breasts instead and I just know it's not going to be as good.
Sweet and sour chicken tonight. We roasted the chicken rather than grill. Another hit! I don't like sliced tomatoes and we had leftover salad so I tossed a salad.
The blackened salmon was delicious!! I've never seared off fish in a pan like that, so I was a little nervous, but it was yummy. I used smoked paprika instead of regular, and the flavor was really good.
Does anyone on Fresh 20 use MyFitnessPal, too? I'm trying to figure out how I can enter the meal calories/fat/protein into my food diary.
You can either do a quick calorie add or add the recipe to the recipe builder. I've found people have done it and shared the recipe for many of them (drumsticks and green rice included)
LAst night was okay. SUPER easy and fast, which I liked.
It was the Kosher leftover BBQ chicken stuffed into pitas w/red onion and spinach. Apparently, pita bread is NOT good for hefty fillings, b/c they fell apart the minute we tried eating them. It was tasty but messy.
Tonight should be interesting! Cucumber soup and black bean, corn, avocado lettuce cups.
We liked our fajitas, too. I actually forgot to add any extra seasoning (other than a little salt on the onions when caramelizing) but I didn't feel like they were missing anything. I still had some chimichurri so we put a bit of that on our fajitas since I had accidentally tossed our greek yogurt and we are out of sour cream. Yum! I liked the zucchini in there...good way to get in some veggies. We had leftover rice from last night and beans from Monday that we ate with the fajitas in addition to the corn. The rice and beans together were seriously YUM.
I am all huuunnnnngrrrryyyy again LOL. That looks so yummy. Did you use the chimichurri on the rice? Yours is a more golden color and it turned ours a pretty vivid green LOL.
yes, but dh apparently added some other seasoning to the chimmichurri, like cumin I believe.

We had the fajitas last night- they were pretty good! I think I liked the steak better the second time around. I liked the honey rice, too. We're skipping the hummus wraps tonight and getting take out.

I'm still debating whether or not to do a 1 year subscription. I got the sample vegetarian menu and it looks... not great. But the menus posted here look much better.
I had the chicken last night, subbed boneless chicken breast (hate bone-in chicken). It was amazingly good as was the rice! That rice is a win as was the marinade and tomato with the blue cheese. SO SO SO good!
The wrap. My first time having edamame and I had an allergic reaction, boo! Will have to avoid from now on
Do you have problems with tofu or other soy products? Dd has a mild soy allergy so her allergist said soy sauce and whatnot is fine but nothing like edamame or tofu. We skipped the wraps

I've never had tofu before so not sure what my reaction would be. It may be a mild allergy for me as well.
