    oven fries:

    take one russet potato (or more for more people)
    and cut the tato into wedges.

    Heat oven to 425, and wrap a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil well with PAM, (I use an olive oil sprayer), then add tato wedges, spray again and add salt to taste.

    Bake for 15 minutes, flip wedges, lightly spray again, and bake for 15 more minutes.

    MMMMM. Tasty.

    I eat these at least once a week. They are also terrific with cajun seasoning.

    Fiesta Salad from Healthy Cooking magazine

    2 cups torn romaine
    3/4 cup frozen corn, thawed
    1/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 medium tomato, chopped
    1 celery rib, chopped
    1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
    1/4 cup curly endive
    1/3 cup salsa
    2 Tbsp. reduced-fat sour cream
    2 Tbsp. reduced fat ranch dressing

    Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine salsa, sour cream and ranch. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. 3/4 cup = 100 calories, makes 4 servings

    This is very delicious! It's already in the food data base. I wasn't really sure what curly endive was, so I just added a little more romaine and skipped it.

    We love baked Sweet Potato french fries. I also make a nice pasta salad...

    bowtie,penne, shell or any kind of salad type pasta(whole grain or wheat) cooked per package instructions
    1/2 or 1 cantalope cubed depending on the # of people serving
    2 pears cubed
    mix all three ingredients with Poppy Seed salad dressing, I like "Brianna's" brand. Enough to nicely coat the ingredients.

    What a nice salad this is....

    Also try grilled asparagus...

    Clean and trim asparagus to remove woody end.
    Place asparagus into a gallon size ziploc bag, pour about 1 tablspoon extra virgin olive oil into bag, enough to lightly coat all pieces, then add parmasean or ramano cheese, enough to also coat each spear. Place on grill and grill until nicely brown oneach side.

    These are wonderful like little asparagus french fries! My hubby didn't like asparagus until I made this and he loves it.
