From our skinny table to yours ...

Sticking with the sneak more veggies into your family theme, tonight we're making a teriyaki pineapple chicken & veggies stir fry served over brown rice. And this is our kind of dinner! When eating mostly vegetables, you get such a BIG portion for the calories. This entire dish, including the rice, comes in at 441 calories but it would be just as delicious without the carbs for just 269 calories! Your call, we went for the rice tonight :)

We started by sautéing up garlic, onions and lean chicken breast. Our veggies consisted of carrots, pea pods, red cabbage and cauliflower which was a delicious and beautiful color combination. You need one cup of veggies per person so feel free to use your favorites here. We topped this off with fresh pineapple chunks which was the perfect compliment to our orange teriyaki sauce. YUM!

Another one of our favorite skinny secrets is to plate up our dinners on a salad plate vs. dinner plate. It makes our portion looks twice as big and keeps our portion control in check which keeps our waist lines happy too.

Hope you enjoy this one!
