Looking for healthy recipes- BUT- I have to be able to sneak them by my husband (help me out here Kristen and Janet- you know him!). So what do you make for dinner that is low calorie and good for you, but has the appearance that it is dirty and bad for you? :noway:

Cook a chicken breast and drop in on the floor.

Try this... I made it for my Meat and Potatoes loving hubby last night and he LOVED IT!!

No-Crust Chicken Pot Pie

3 Grilled Chicken Breasts, Diced.
3 cups of Hungry Jack Mashed Potatoes, prepared with water.
1 bag frozen Whole Kernel Corn
1 bag frozen Cut Green Beans
2 tsp Salad Supreme Seasoning
1/2 cup Shredded Cheddar (I used Kraft Triple Cheddar)
1 cup French's Fried Onions
1 TBL Philadelphia Cream Cheese-Garden Vegetable

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix corn, green beans, Salad Supreme seasoning and Philly Veggie Cream Cheese in a large bowl.
• Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the prepared mashed potatoes on the bottom of an ungreased casserole dish (I used 2 round covered casserole dishes but a 9x13 glass pan can be used as well).
• Sprinkle a small amount of the French fried onions and shredded cheese.
• Add vegetable mixture to about 1/2 inch from the top of the casserole dish.
• Spread remaining potatoes over the top and top with the remaining shredded cheddar and French fried onions.
Makes approximately 8 (large servings)

I love The LooneySpoons cookbooks and really like Rocco DeSpirito's books and Betty Crockers The 300 Calorie Cookbook. The hubby is always surprised that the recipes I make are healthy. At first I never told him and he never knew. Long story short, I told him I have been making him healthy meals for awhile now and he was quite surprised. Just no tofu, we tried it and cant do it lol.

I don't know if this will meet the healthy standard for you. Mine might be a bit lower.. :laugh:


Four lean pork chops.
1/2 cup of bread crumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
1/4 cup of egg white mixed with 1 teaspoon of low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Place olive oil in a baking dish.
Cover each chop with egg, and then bread crumbs. Place in the baking dish. Place baking dish in oven for 30 minutes. Turn over the pork chops. Bake for another 25 minutes. Serve with favorite vegetables.

Get the 'Cook This not That' cook books. The recipes are SUPER easy to make and relatively healthy. They include things like oven fried chicken, pot roast, macaroni and cheese, patty melts, and burritos. My husband (330 lbs) LOVES them and he's lost 30 lbs so far.
