Re: What are your grains, vegetables and proteins?

Proteins:
Chicken--grilled, baked, breaded, or cut into strips and pan-fried for fajatas or stirfry

Steaks--I buy them from Omaha steaks mainly, bacon wrapped filet mignons. Also buy premarinated strip steaks or London broil.

Vegetables:
Corn
Green beans pan sauteed with garlic and EVOO

Grains:
Rice--I make my own RiceaRoni with broken Vermicelli pasta in it, also rice pilaf and plain white rice.
Risotto
Couscous
Pasta

Potatoes (not really a veg, not really a grain)--baked, mashed, fried, roasted
