Delicious food and product recommendations

I am eating my lunch right now and having a DEEEEEE-Licious one. It is an Amy's brand entree called the Sante Fe Enchilada Bowl.

It is packed with goodness and real ingredients.

350 calories. 16 grams of protein. 9 grams of fiber. 11g of fat, 2 which are saturated. 10% of calcium, 40% of vitamin C, 20% of iron.

You can find it in the healthy food/ vegetarian option frozen section of the super market.

I have had it two days in a row. YUUUUUUUUUM!

*********************

Also (and I can believe I saying this) but cottage cheese done the right way is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. 1/2 cup with 1 equal packet and cut up peach slices (sugar free of course). Such a nice snack.

So what good finds can everyone recommend? Do share! Recipes are great also.

It is just hubby and I, so I picked up a couple of Bertolli Mediterranian Style skillet bags that serve 2. I've had the Steak & Portobello Mushroom, and the Chicken, Rigatoni and Broccoli. Easy peasy to make, and they were really good! Here is the nutrional links from thedailyplate.com: Bertolli Mediterranian Style Nutrition Facts, Calories, Fat, Protein, and Diet Information - Food Search Results - The Daily Plate Calorie Counter
I am the biggest cottage cheese fan right now! I need to buy stock in Breakstones because I am always purchasing their LiveActive 4 packs. I love the 4 oz. containers. I like my cottage cheese all "nekkid."

My doctor gave me a sheet of recipes that use the AmazeRX Vanilla protein shake powder I buy from him, but I like the taste so much that I haven't tried those yet. When I do, I'll share the ones that "work."

I have a South Beach cookbook that I was given for my birthday that I haven't even used yet. As soon as school starts I'll try out some recipes to share. What a great idea, greythope!

I am not much of a cook. I just wanted to say I have eaten Breakstone's cottage cheese for years. I also like it nekkid. I have found that I eat less if I eat meat and a vegetable as opposed to a casserole type dish. I think it is because it is more solid food. I have been eating beef with steamed broccoli. Since I am not much of a cook, I am not picky about what I eat. I open a bag of frozen broccoli and put some in a container with some butter spray and microwave it at lunchtime. I love to put low fat granola in my yogurt and the nutritionist said this helps it stay in the pouch longer so it is a good thing.

Chopped chicken, fried in a pan with salsa, then put in bowl and topped with lo-fat cheese.

I just had a brief question mark over my head, and a picture of cottage cheese naked.:confused2:
