Here is Several Weeks of Wintertime Meals:

Don't fear Monday through Friday mealtimes -- savor them with these five quick and easy weeknight dinners.

The following are some great recipes:

• Gnocchi Nicoise  This is just plain goodness. Store-bought potato pasta speeds up our Gnocchi Nicoise, and ground beef or turkey, veggies and Nicoise olives make a filling, flavorful sauce.
• Turkey Carbonara Delux This makes a great and different pasta dish.
  
• Chicken Tetrazzini This dish is wonderful and easy to make. It will soon be your family favorite too. Works great with leftover turkey too.
  
• Bruschetta This is great served over breaded chicken. After cooking breaded chicken until golden brown you add this over the top with a some Italian cheese and you have a wonderful dish.
  
• Slow-Cooker Moroccan Turkey Stew (You can use Chicken insted of Turkey)
  
• Moroccan Burritos with Tahini Herb Sauce  When dinner is on deadlin, don't forget to look through your leftovers! Make a quick burrito with cooked rice, with the leftover Moroccan Stew
• Pan-Fried Cod with Slaw Spice up everyday coleslaw with apples, scallions, whole-grain mustard and caraway seeds. Serve with this Crispy Pan-Fried Cod coks in minutes, and is the perfect accompaniment. Use just lowfat Mayonnaise to lighten it up
• Sauteed Chicken Breasts With Cream Chive Sauce Dress up Chicken Breasts with a rich sour cream-based Sauce
  
• Baked Mac and Cheese Here is a new twist this recipe has spinach and low-fat milk make this mac and cheese lighter and more nutrious than the usual recipe. I always like putting veggies in my main dish to make it more nutrious.
  
• Hamburger and Sour Cream Casserole If you've been missing the gooey goodness of a sour cream and hamburger noodle casserole, grab a fork on this one.
  
• Roasted Halibut with Banana-Orange Relish Soft, sweet banana really stands up to the powerful tang of orange and lime in this accompaniment to roasted fish.
  
• Root Vegetable Gratin This gratin is the perfect winter side dish for the coldest nights.
• Snow Pea and Avocado Slaw This Snow Pea and Avocado Slaw blends Crisp veggies with toasted walnuts for a refreshing take on traditional slaw. Best of all, it's on your table in 15 minutes.
• Carrots with Chickpeas and Pine Nuts gets a boost of flavor from smashed garlic. It's an easy hot side that cooks up in just 7 minutes.
  
• Baked Spring Rolls Start your meal with a better-for-you version of the classic starter. Stuff store-bought wrappers with ham, crab/chicken and veggies, then crisp in the oven insted of the deep fryer.
• Chinese Dumpling Soup This Soup uses frozen dumplings and store-bought chciken broth, so it comes together in miutes. Flavor the broth with smoky sesame oil, ginger and low sodium soy sauce, then add fresh spinach just before serving for an extra helping of healthy veggies.
• Tangerine Beef with Scallions Ditch the deep-friedmeat and excess oil in many American Chinese dishes for this fresh,easy alternative. Marinate steak in tangerine juice, then broil andserve with ginger-orange sauce.
  
• Chicken Piccata with Pasta and Mushrooms With its light lemon-caper sauce and accompanying whole wheat angel hear pasta, enjoy they healthy update to Chicken Piccata.
• Black Bean Croquettes with Fresh Salsa   Mix together staples like canned black beans, frozen corn and breadcrumbs for these quick and tasty croquettes.
• Golden Baked Pork Cutlets With a few wholesome ingredients, our golden-crusted Baked Pork Cutlets are the ultimate in Healthy Comfort foods.
• Sesame-Crusted Tofu with Spicy Pineapple Noodles Crispy Sesame-Crusted Tofu tops noodles that have been tossed with a sweet-and spicy pineapple sauce.

Healthy Tip of the Day: Don’t Go Hungry Research shows that smart snacking can keep energy levels up and prevent youf rom over eating at meal time. Combine a fruit or some veggies with a small amount of protein, such as a cube of low-fat cheese or a small handful of nuts.

I am hungry and this looks really good! Check out this video on how to make Huevos Rancheros. Huevos rancheros should be a satisfying, south-of-the-bordermeal of tortillas, eggs, and salsa—not a heaping plate of nachos. We wanted to use supermarket staples to produce the most authentic versionpossible. We began by roasting vegetables for the salsa. We then brushed ourtortillas with oil and crisped them in the oven to avoid the excess grease thatcomes from deep-frying. For the best possible flavor, we poached the eggsdirectly in the hot salsa. Am I making you hungry yet? I plan on trying this recipe this weekend. Let me know if you tried this recipe and post your comments here...

Have a great day,

Chef Lidna

Here is a link to some very good low fat recipes 100 Low Fat Recipes.

I have tried several recipes from this site and most of the are very good. Recipes that I tried are the following:

Three Bean Chili - This was good but my chili is better.Recipe posted on this website.

Oven Fried Chicken - This recipe was good but a little bland. I normally do not use sesame seeds in my recipe which added a nice touch. I normally use 1/2 tsp Paprika and fresh ground black pepper in my recipe.

Italian Lemonade - Very good, I wouldn't change a think but maybe add some vodka.

Check back and I will post more info on recipes that I try. I want to try the Salmon with Lemon, Capers, and Rosemary. If you try any please post your comments on my website.Thank you for your support and taking the time to write a comment on my website.

Happy Cooking
