MEAL SUGGESTIONS:
LOW CALORIE AND SATISFYING SALAD
In a large bowl add the following:
• Generous amount of lettuce mix (ours is romaine, arugula, escarole, radicchio)
• sliced baby cucumber
• bite size pieces of red, yellow or orange pepper
• steamed asparagus
• grape tomatoes
• steamed broccoli
• 4-6 ounces steamed shrimp or cooked chicken
Add 1-2 tablespoons of dressing and mix well. For the dressing, we used 1.5 tablespoons of Hellman's Canola mayo (half the calories and fat, but still tastes good) mixed with a pinch of salt and curry powder to taste. Another great option is Olive Oil with or without spices.
Roasted Butternut Squash
• 2-3 cups cleaned and cut butternut squash
• Pam Spray (olive oil flavor)
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Crushed dried rosemary
• Garlic powder
Preheat oven to 450°. Remove the skin and clean the squash. Cut in 1/2 – 3/4 pieces. Spray a glass baking dish with Pam. Put the squash, 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and pepper, garlic powder and rosemary in pan. Toss to coat the squash, then arrange in single layer. Bake at 450° for 30 minutes. This is great served with a steamed vegetable and some lean protein like baked fish or chicken.
BEST GRILLED FISH
• 6 ounce portions of salmon or other thick fish
• Garlic powder
• Montreal Steak Seasoning (not the fish or chicken or the low sodium – this one tastes best)
• Dried Minced Garlic
• Dried Minced Onion
On a plate, sprinkle lots of garlic powder, a tiny amount of McCormick's Montreal Steak Seasoning, and some shakes of dried minced garlic and dried minced onion. Take your piece of fish and dip the bottom and sides. On the top, do a layer of garlic powder, small amount of McCormick's Montreal Steak (it has a lot of salt, so be sparing), then some more garlic powder and some minced garlic. Spray PAM on the grill so it doesn't stick and grill to desired level.
