Ahhh cooking! I have a love/hate relationship with it. When I have time I do love it...but during the week when everything is very "go, go, go.." I try to keep things simple.
I love chicken parm. I make a healthier version by just baking the chicken in a glass pan with sauce. Once its cooked I put low fat cheese on it and serve with whole wheat pasta. Its super easy and fast so I love it for during the week. Plus the leftovers are great for lunch the next day.0 -
Chicken Parm is good....try using grated parm with it instead of low fat cheese....that pregrated stuff is pretty good for me on calories v. cheese. I then use a light swiss too.0

I have loved everything I have tried from SkinnyTaste.com so far. She does a good job of lightening things up.
EmilyBites is also a good one.0 -
Excellent suggestions. I will have to give them a look!
I personally try to make my own recipes. However, I do find that I can not get past going over my sodium macro. Even when i dont cook. I know drinking more water helps offset, but for crying out loud, when i sit at my desk all day its next to impossible to get that much water in (and out).0 -
You'll get there. It's been 5 years for me and I still have days where I go over on the sodium, especially dinners out!
I don't follow recipes for anything other than baking. I'll get ideas from cook books/magazines, but I reduce/leave out/add to the dish whatever I want. I have to watch the hubs too, he's allergic to mustard (prepared, powered, and seeds).
My favorite dishes are anything Mexican/Tex-Mex, stir frys, pastas (for him, I am not a fan of pasta) and cookies.0
