Cool!  A recipe exchange forum!  You guys have already given me several good ideas for meals! 

I’ll need to remember to look up a few of my favorite healthy recipes when I get home so I can return the favor.  In the meantime, I will put in a plug for my very favorite healthy eating magazine/website - Eating Well - http://www.eatingwell.com.  There are a lot of good recipes on the website as well.  Their cookbook, Healthy in a Hurry, has been my favorite cookbook ever since I bought it.

What I love about their recipes is that they use real ingredients - none of that fakey, diet stuff - and yet the recipes are low in fat, high in fiber, and generally all around good for you.  If a teaspoon of real butter is what is necessary to really make the recipe great, they’ll use a teaspoon of butter and not try to foist some horrible diet margarine off on you. 

I’m off to make out my grocery list for next week!

Judy,

Thanks for the cookbook recommendation.  I ordered a copy.  Let me know which recipies you like best.

As you requested, Priscilla --

My favorites (so far) from Healthy in a Hurry cookbook:

Polenta & Vegetable Bake
Stir-Fried Spicy Chicken Tenders*
Honey Mustard Chicken
Roasted Chicken Tenders with Peppers & Onions*
Turkey Mini-Meatloaves
Shrimp with Broccoli
Vegetable & Sausage Skillet Supper

Mmmmmmmmm. 

* The authors like to use chicken tenders as a time-saver, but I don’t like the little chicken rubber bands that you end up with!  So I just use sliced boneless skinless chicken breast instead.
