Ok ladies, I need your help. DH and I have GOT lose some weight. I've lost 15 pounds and two pants sizes in the past three months but have hit a wall. All of our current recipes have gotten old. I keep telling DH if I can't be fat because I'm pregnant then I wanna be drop dead sexy

Help me out by posting some healthy recipes. Even some not as healthy recipes will work. We've been eating so much junk lately that real, home cooked food will help us lose some.

I'll post one of my favorites here a little later today. It involves pasta and crab meat

This is one of my favorite recipies. If you did all white meat chicken it would be a bit healthier. It has a TON of flavor!
Tequila Lime Crock Pot Chicken
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 (3-1/2-pound) whole chicken, cut up
The juice of one lime
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup reposado tequila*
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
Heat garlic in olive oil. Place chicken in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour garlic oil into slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
*You can substitute flat 7UP or water for tequila.

We just tried this recipe yesterday and it was delicious: Turkey Burgers We had sweet potato fries with it... cut sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch fries, coat with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika, then bake for 20 minutes at 450... mmmmm.
