Help A Fat Guy Out

Balsamic glaze may sound a little foo foo but this flavorful condiment is used in my house on every thing from spinach salad, cooked greens, tomatoes, chicken, pork and is perfect on grilled fruit like pineapple.  Let's face it, you probably don't eat enough greens or fruit so make this and you will eat more of the good stuff.

Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely.  This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it.

Egg Foo Yung is perfect for a fat guy like me that's trying to lose weight.  It's packed with protein, cheap, fast and easy (hmmm..... that reminds me of something else)

Italian Greens, Beans and Bacon Pasta is a very hearty Italian classic dish and this recipe makes it healthier for you too.  You have hearty greens, filling beans and the flavor of bacon added to your pasta.  What more could you want?

Low Fat Berry Parfaits may seem like having breakfast for dessert but it's totally different.  OK, maybe it's not so much different but if you use cool looking parfait glasses or glass coffee mugs it seems different.

This Low Fat Sherry Vinegar Dressing makes a great addition to salads with chicken or fish added.

Hummus is a great way to get some extra cholesterol lowering fiber in a low fat dip that can easily double as a spread for sandwiches. While you can serve this with bread, toast or crackers you might want to try adding it to a veggie platter with carrots, celery or bell peppers.

I almost always double this recipe because it keeps in the refrigerator for a long time and it's versatile for snacks, lunches, dinners and hummus on whole grain toast makes a hearty breakfast.

This is an adaptation of one of my favorite tilapia dishes. By steaming the fish instead of pan frying the flavors combine much better, the dish is much easier to make and you can also cook this on the grill or as a casserole.  You can easily halve this dish or double it depending on how many you're feeding.

This low fat red cabbage slaw is an excellent add to your healthy diet plan because it's fast, flavorful and easy.  This is a great addition to fish tacos, fajitas, sandwiches or just served with beans and chicken.

These are not hte pickeled beets of you past that bled into everything on the plate.  These are sweet, delicious and go well with just about everything. A few friends go on and on about how wonderful these are so maybe you should try them.
