Sometimes all we need to persuade ourselves and others to eat less fat are some tasty and delicious
recipes that promise to be just that. So to get you started on a path to eating healthier and losing weight, I thought I might
share some low fat great tasting recipes of mine that I use on a weekly basis. They don't take much preparation time
at all and are half the calories of their more fatty counterparts.
Dijon Mustard Chicken. This one is my all time favorite. You take a few freshly
prepared chicken breasts (no breading, no prepackaged seasoning) and use a marinade to tenderize them to perfection. First, get
out two to three onions and dice them up. Then, line a casserole dish with them and pour on a little bit of vinegar (about
a teaspoon) Next, put your slightly thawed chicken breasts onto the bed of onions and smear the chicken breasts on
each side with dijon mustard. Cover it with the lid and put in a preheated oven at 350 Celsius for 40 minutes.
Your chicken will be tender and moist after it's finished and oh so mouth watering. Alternative:
You don't have to use dijon mustard sauce exactly-you can also use whatever sauce suits your taste, be it barbeque sauce,
honey dijon or spicy mexican.
Herb Seasoned Potatoes These potatoes are quick and easy to make and they taste
FABULOUS! All you do is cut up some potatoes with the skin on and put them in a pan. Then you sprinkle salt, pepper, thyme
and rosemary over the pieces and drizzle them with olive oil. Next, cover up the pan with aluminum foil and cook in the oven
at 350 degrees celsius for 30-40 minutes.
Whole Wheat Spaghetti: This dish
is just a slight adjustment from regular white spaghetti, but it is a whole lot more filling and doesn't taste much different
from the refined stuff. Just pick it out from your grocery, cook it up and use the sauce of your choice. I highly recommend
trying Sweet Basil sauce. Yummy!
Tuna on Rye: Rye bread is one
of the most filling breads out there, if you buy the genuine kind. Proper rye bread should be chewy and dense. The kind I
use is called Klausterbraut.
Tuna, on the other hand, can be found everywhere. The trick is to get it to taste good.
Some people like to mix it with mayo to enhance the flavour but for a less fattening tuna, try mixing it with low fat salad
dressing instead. Not only will it taste better but it'll be half the fat!
