Tortilla-less Fish Tacos
I know it sounds lame, and it is not quite as satisfying, but you definitely get full and feel terrific about what you've consumed. This has a ton of excellent roughage, protein and is pretty darn low-cal. It is assembled like this: the veggie bed, the fish, the sauce. You can customize this like crazy, but this is how we…

Crustless quiche - aka Frittata

Cook a scrambled egg with a little cheese, or a fried egg with no cheese (runny yolk, of course). Microwave a 1/4-1/2 cup black beans in a bowl. Top with egg. Top…

Tzatziki - Say it three times fast!
Tzatziki, or Greek yogurt sauce, is awesome on its own. It also goes in gyros and other Mediterranean sandwiches, goes alongside souvlaki (Greek meat skewers), or on a plate with lots of Greek food (dolmas, hummus, random grilled veggies, babaghanoush, rice, feta salad, spanikopita, etc.).
