So we are celebrating 13 years tonight with our 7 year old daughter with a picnic & concert in a local park tonight. we went to vegas for 3 nights 2 weeks ago ;-)

I need help!

I don't have tons of time to make recipes after work, but do have time for a trip to the store.

What are low-fat romantic foods?

I've been doing soooo good I don't want to blow my progress.

    Rough oat cakes with extra light philladelphia smocked salmon and prawns.
    Rice cakes, carrot and celery with low fat dips
    Chicken scewers
    cherry tomatoes
    olives
    Strawberries and blueberries
    Low fat creme fraiche/yoghurt
    Fresh fruit salad
    Fetta cheese salad

    My husband and I love this. It's really simple, the only cooking involved is to grill the chicken. I used red wine vinegar instead of rice wine and instead of buying fresh mint, I just picked up some from the seasonings aisle. Happy Anniversary!

    Tropical Chicken Salad with Orange Vinaigrette

    2 tablespoons orange juice
    1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1/4 teaspoon table salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
    4 cups mixed baby greens
    5 ounces cooked chicken breasts, skinless boneless
    3/4 cup pineapple chunk, fresh, cut into chunks
    1 mango, fresh, cut into chunks
    1/2 cucumber, seedless, cut into chunks
    1/4 cup mint leaf, fresh, cut into thin strips
    1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

    Directions:
    Prep Time: 20 mins

    1 In a large bowl, stir together orange juice, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper until blended.

    Go to a store that has an awesome deli (Whole Foods?) and pick up salads, and perhaps a rotisserie chicken. Tabouleh, bean salad.... oh my, now I want to do this for lunch!
