Food, one of my favorite topics! I’ll get the ball rolling. Believe it or not we lose weight when eating small portions of this stuff every 3 hours. I only gain weight when we don’t eat or when we make a habit of eating out!
Anyway, here are some things we serve up at the Dorsey’s. (Disclaimer: we do NOT count calories so you may want to check with Pam or Jason before putting these on your menu)
Taco Salad- chicken or ground turkey cooked with cumin, chili pepper and other spices. Put it over a bed of spinach and romaine with avocado, homemade (or really fresh) salsa, shredded cheddar and monetary jack cheese. I use a little light ranch dressing but you don’t need it with the salsa.
Steak Salad- slice quality steak, over spinach and romaine, sliced pears, crumbled gorgonzola cheese.
Rotisserie Chicken – Eat with lots of carrots and celery sticks, and red bell pepper slices. Make a dip with a small chunk of Blue cheese and olive oil, blend and season with salt pepper and thyme.
Sautéed Spinach with sliced portabella mushrooms red onions garlic and olive oil ( I don’t think there is protien in this but it is really good!)
Albacore tuna, mixed with mash avacoda, salt, pepper, chopped tomatoes, celery, onions, hot pepper seeds. Cut cucumbers thick on the diagonal. Use cucumber as cracker.
Turkey sausage – Make sauce with a can of diced tomatoes, garlic and seasoning ( basil, oregano..) add chunks of tri-colored peppers, button mushrooms, zucchini, onions ( whatever. Add chunks of turkey Italian sausage. Finish with a high quality mozzarella cheese. You will not miss the pasta!
BBQ- Make kabobs, with lots of veggies or grill fish and add a homemade pineapple mango salsa.
Almonds with miniature dark chocolate chips and raisins or cranberries (I think it beats a candy bar but tastes better)
Hope I didn’t break too many rules!

All that sounds awesome, thanks for posting.
Pam, I couldn’t resist!
There are lots of great things to eat. I would hate for people to give up because they are having the same boring salad over and over again.
Anyone else have recipe ideas they wanna swap? What do you guys grab on the run?
On the go snack/meals tend to be the hardest, bust can also be the easiest.
Trader Joes has pre packaged almonds in individual serving sizes. This is awesome, because if I had the whole bag with me I’d eat half of it, but these I still in a bowl on the counter, grab one on my way out the door. Easy.
This is one time I also rely on protein shakes.
An apple and 1-2 cheddar cheese sticks also works well on the go.
