any good low fat recipes?

Answer 1

hmm....make a minestrone. Hearty, filling, fresh and low fat. Giada has good lo-fat recipes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/

I like to make spinach and pablano enchiladas. They can be reduced in fat by microwaving th corn tortillas instead of fryin them. Also, use more spice, less cheese. Use a canned red enchi sauce, but add tomato puree to it to reduce the calories.
Serve with some black beans (mash them up a little and season them with hot sauce or taco seasoning) and garnish with diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro and romaine lettuce.

Answer 2

Orange Glazed Chicken


Ingredients:
1 (3-3 1/2 pound) whole chicken
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Combine remaining ingredients and mix well. If desired, separate the glaze and reserve some to serve with chicken after cooking.

Brush some of the orange mixture on chicken and roast uncovered another 15 minutes. Periodically brush chicken with the orange mixture until chicken is no longer pink (180 degrees using a meat thermometer). Serve chicken with remaining orange mixture.

½ cup milk (I use 1% or 2% low fat)
8 oz. fettuccini, cooked, drained (I use the fresh Contadina low fat one)
