Smokey;381694Girls you say, then you must be on the lookout for tasty low calorie recipes . Green Salads are great, but many of us could stand to loose a few pounds . Any help from anyone could help your fellow forum members . [biggrin]
Haven't hit that problem with the girls yet.
They are naturally thin and have all been in sports.
Though they have pretty much been taking salads for their lunches at school, but only because the school lunches suck and they got bored with sandwiches.
I'm not as much a low calorie person as tasty and healthier.
I look for recipes that are more home made.
some chicken pot pie recipes would just use cream of chicken soup for a sauce instead of in mine that used broth, flour and butter.

Thanks , but any member that can help the rest of us to be healthier is encouraged to post their recipes . Also, don't just think that cooking is for women. Some of the finest cooks I've ever known were men, and could teach some women a lot about cooking. In fact , it is a most honorable profession .
My point is that tasty / lower calorie dishes could benefit many of us .

I'd eat that entire veggie tray and that would do no good for my waistline.

Sad part is, most "healthy foods" are expensive as heck. If they really wanted us to eat more healthy, they would make healthy food more affordable.
And I am the cook in the family. I like to cook. My Grandpa on my Dad's side always did the cooking at Christmas time, he he was a great cook. My Dads half brother is a chef. So I guess it's in the blood!
One of my favorite dishes is to take hamburger helper stroganoff,
and add some things. I get fresh mushrooms, cut them up, add some water and cook them. Then use the water from that in the recipe instead of tap water. Substitute half the milk with sour cream. Add the mushrooms and YUM!
Not low cal, but good, and cheap to make.
I make a double batch. After it sits a day in the fridge it's even better!
