    Easiest thing I have ever cooked--

    Get veggie steamers, they take about 4.5 mins in the microwave. Cook some rice. Both of these will provide leftovers for later meals.

    In a frying pan, put in one cup of brown rice, one cup of broccoli, and one 3oz can of tuna. Put in one tablespoon of olive oil and cut up two dried red chile peppers for some extra flavor. Spray on some "I can't believe it's not butter." Sauté all of it together for a couple minutes just to get it nice and hot all the way through. Also to spread out the olive oil and pepper. Comes out to about 300 calories, and you're really full afterward. Also the extra rice and veggies make it even EASIER to prepare the next go round.

    Good luck!

    you shoud get the hungry girl cookbook 300 under 300! I made a shepherds pie that was 4 cups frozed mixed veggies, 12 oz cooked chicken, 1/2 cup fat free chicken gravy, 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes and 3 cups frozen cauliflower. cook the veggies before in the microwave layer the 4 cups veggies on bottom of 8x8 pan. add chicken mixture, add potato/cauliflower mixture (mash together) and pour on top cook for 35 mins. SO yummy. My entire family loved it and the portion was huge for something like 240 cals. Also there is a chicken pot pocket recipe. Uses eggroll wrappers. Also really low calories and my 7 yr old helped make them and said they were delicious! friend me if you'd like some other recipes or run out and grab that book! I promise you won't be disappointed!

    Here's one that is SOOOO good, and low fat to boot!!!

    SALSA CHICKEN
    4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
    4 teaspoons taco seasoning mix
    1 cup salsa
    1 cup Reduced fat shredded Cheddar cheese
    2 tablespoons Fat Free sour cream (optional)

    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C)
    2. Place chicken breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle taco seasoning on both sides of chicken breasts, and pour salsa over all.
    3. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is tender and juicy and its juices run clear.
    4. Sprinkle chicken evenly with cheese, and continue baking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with sour cream if desired, and serve.

    My go-to's:

    Breakfast burrito: scrambled eggs mixed with spinach, onions, peppers and a smear of guacamole on tortilla

    Tacos: I use white corn soft tacos and add either refried beans as the stuffing with whatever fillings or I use veggie crumbles with taco seasoning (I used this recipe on a 12 year old EXTREMELY picky eater today and she ate 4! She thought it was beef ;-)

    Broccoli, cannelini bean and cheddar soup: 14oz low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable + 1C water and bring to a boil; add 1C broccoli and cook about 8 mins. Add 1 can cannelini beans rinsed and drained and some salt and pepper to taste and puree in a blender or food processor with 1C extra sharp cheddar. You can't taste the beans, just tastes like broccoli and cheese soup although it is bright green! I make a couple batches at a time and freeze. It's about 150cals per cup.

    Spread hummus on a pita pocket and stuff with salad veggies. I make hummus myself it's super easy - 1 can chick peas and puree in food processor (I've tried using a blender but the chick peas are a little too tough for the blender!) add lemon juice (about 1 TBLS, maybe a little more), 1.5 cloves of garlic and 2-4 sundried tomatoes. Add olive oil (I do this by eye until it's moist enough) and continue to puree until the consistency is right.

    for dessert I will use 1/4C ricotta cheese with 1 tsp of cocoa powder and a packet of splenda. Mix together comes to around 100 cals total depending on the cocoa powder you use!

    Bumping and adding :)

    I took this recipe from a blog earlier today and it sounds yummy!

    Cupcake Lasagne

    24 Wonton Wrappers
    1 3/4 c. Jimmy Dean Precooked Turkey Sausage
    1 cup Pasta Sauce
    1/2 c Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
    1 1/2 C Mozzarella Cheese
    1/2 c Parmesan Cheese
    Non Stick Spray
    Muffin Tin

    Spray Muffin tin with non-stick spray. Layer one won ton wrapper in the bottom of each muffin hole. Then add some sauce to each wonton wrapper, then add some Ricotta cheese, Turkey Sausage and sprinkle with the 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Start second layer wonton wrapper, sauce, ricotta cheese, turkey sausage, top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake at 375` for 25 mins. They will pop right out of the tin. I calculated them to be per cupcake: 135 cals 5.76 fat 12.6 carbs 1 fiber 10.4 protein.

    My family loves them. I pair with a salad and a crusty bread banquette for a nice quick meal.. The prep time is like 10-15 mins.

    Enjoy!

    Another good recipe book is "Eating for Life." I haven't made anything in it that I don't like. It encourages healthy eating. I don't use anything else really.
