The vegetarian's protein dinner:

I so wish I would have taken a picture because it was DELICIOUS! Being vegetarian, trying to do a high protein diet always takes a little creativity.  Just so you know, on a regular basis I'm never really concerned about getting enough protein, but doing a HIGH protein diet can be a bit more challenging.  Tonight's menu:

Steamed broccoli
Baked Tofu (marinated in balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic)
Walnut Penne Pasta (whole wheat pasta, with sauteed onions, peppers, and walnuts in the sauce)

And let me tell you, (for all those rolling their eyes at tofu) my 2-year-old and 4-year-old LOVED the tofu, they gobbled it up!  Brand new recipe, and the pasta was amazing as well!

Based on my totals from CalorieKing: 35 grams of protein!

Not my pic's, but thanks to Google you can have a visual:
