    It might be useful to do some in-depth research into the dietary fat issue (no you can't just take the word of the ads on the tv and family doctor as fact). A low fat diet does not help with weight loss and is detrimental to health. An interesting place to start with your research may be the studies that are finding a link between low fat diets and depression. There's interesting info on why processed seed oils are questionable as well (likely NOT heart healthy, even though they are still endorsed as such).

    I eat a high fat diet (70% calories from fat) and all of my health problems have been resolved. The more fat that I eat the more fat I lose off of my body. Strange but true, and I highly doubt that I am a "special snowflake". Of course, I am not eating canola, soy, corn oil etc which means that I also have a low consumption of processed foods. I'm also saving money on my grocery bill; because my food is nutrient dense I need a lot less volume of food to be satisfied and reach my nutritional goals.

    Edit: sorry that I didn't help with a recipe, but I don't eat anything that is fat free but felt the need to attempt to be helpful. Feel free to ignore. :) Perhaps, whatever health problem that you are taking medication for may be resolved with diet? At least that's been my experience. I can't think of one med that cures illness, but my diet sure cured many illnesses for me.

    It's difficult to have a completely no fat recipe, everything has fat in it (even some vegetables have some), and you really should try to avoid products that have been made "fat free" because they usually add sugar and salt. I only go low fat for cheese, etc. You can avoid fat enough if you just stop adding it to food/cooking, and stick to lean protein. Here is one of my favorite low-fat recipes for chicken that tastes great! (I leave out the tsp of veg oil in the glaze): http://www.food.com/recipe/honey-glazed-chicken-279053
