Recipe for Sauteed Spinach and Orzo: Ingredients: 1 cup Orzo, Dry 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 cup Onions 3 cloves Garlic Clove 1 tbsp Mrs.Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning 1/2 tsp Black Pepper 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt 4 cups Spinach Directions: I have a 1600 calorie meal plan to go with this great dinner that includes one of my guilty pleasures....chocolate cake donuts with icing. I know they aren't healthy, but I love them and I keep finding them in the reduced bake items at the store. So I thought I better figure out a way to fit them into an otherwise fairly healthy diet or give them up. Here's what I came up with. Breakfast- 482 Calories 1 Chocolate Cake Donut 1/2 banana, sliced 1 cup peanut butter and yogurt Snack- 192 Calories Pear 4 Cracked Black Pepper and Olive Oil Triscuits Lunch- 348 Calories Pita Bread Snack- 120 Calories Fat Free Refried Beans and a Corn Tortilla Dinner- 395 Calories Total Calories = 1537 So, I made my confession about chocolate cake donuts. How do you fit splurges into your diet? Love to hear your comments! Also, don't forget---if you like what you see here at Kitchy Mama Meals you can subscribe or "like" this blog on facebook.

Having a meal plan saved our dinner tonight! I've been working on improving my photography skills for this blog and became engrossed in reading a photography book and playing with my camera and before I knew it, it was not only time to start dinner, but time for dinner to be on the table! With church activities in a little over an hour I was SO happy to have a plan!
Feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach stuffed inside Chicken breasts may seem like a complicated meal, but this dinner was on the table in a little over 30 minutes. The prep time was minimal and the result was "restaurant quality" according to my husband. Served with a side of sauteed spinach and orzo, this meal was filling, but less than 500 calories per serving.
Recipe for Spinach, Feta, and Sun-Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts:
1 lb Chicken Breast
1/3 cup Reduced Fat Feta
1 cup Spinach
6 pieces Sun-dried Tomatoes
1/3 tsp Coarse Kosher Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
