2 cups whole wheat rotini pasta noodles, uncooked
8 ounces lowfat cheddar cheese

Wash and chop onions. Defrost broccoli. Heat olive oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Stir in flour and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly (consistency will be thick). Add milk gradually while continuing to stir. Reduce heat to low and add uncooked pasta.
Cover saucepan and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Baked Italian Chicken

1 T. balsamic vinegar
6 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
chicken breasts, boneless/skinless, raw

In a small bowl, combine first 7 ingredients, set aside.

Rinse chicken breast and pat dry. Place chicken in a shallow baking pan, lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray. Press or rub herb mixture onto top of chicken. Bake at 375F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until no longer pink inside.

Baked Fish & Vegetables

12 ounces cod (or other mild fish)
4 garlic cloves
1 pound fresh zucchini, sliced into thin strips
baby carrots, sliced into thin strips
1 yellow onion, sliced into thin strips
medium mushrooms, sliced
3 T. olive oil
1/2 ground teaspoon thyme
3 t. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Cut a piece of aluminum foil 18 inches across. Place fish on one side of the foil; set aside.
Mix minced garlic and vegetables. Heat oil in large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; add garlic and sliced vegetables. Saute´ for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme and 2 T. of water; cook for 1 minute.* Spoon vegetable mixture over prepared fish fillet and top with lemon juice. Pull the edges of the foil together and fold, securing edges tightly. Place the packet on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

*I have personally had better luck NOT sauteeing the vegetables before adding them to the fish packets.

I haven't tried this, but it sounds really good (but really time consuming too). To be core you would have to use ff mayo. Got this from slimfast.com.

Spicy Chicken Pasta
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients


2 fluid ounces chicken stock, fat free, low sodium
4 ounces chicken breasts, boneless/skinless, raw
1 ounce rotini pasta noodles, whole wheat, uncooked
1/2 cup broccoli, frozen florets
6 carrots, baby
1/4 pound pea pods (snow peas), fresh or frozen
4 parsley, fresh
2 tablespoons onions, green
4 piece/slices jalapenos, sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise, low fat
1 tablespoon sour cream, fat free
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups tossed green salad
2 tablespoons salad dressing, favorite flavor, fat free
Preparation


Bring a medium covered pot of water to boil over high heat.
Meanwhile, cut chicken breast crosswise into 1/2-inch thick strips. Bring the stock to boil in a small covered skillet over high heat.
Stir in chicken strips, return to a boil, and reduce heat to low; cover and simmer, turning occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
With a slotted spoon, remove chicken and transfer to a plate; cover loosely with foil.
Increase the heat to high and boil the broth for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until it is reduced to a syrup-like consistency.
Remove the pan from heat. While the broth is cooking down, add the pasta to the boiling water and return to a boil; cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or according to package directions.
About 4 minutes before the pasta is done, add the broccoli florets and carrots (cut into strips).
One minute before the pasta is done, add the pea pods.
Cook until vegetables are crisp-tender and the pasta is al dente. Drain in a colander and cool under cold running water; drain again.
Transfer the pasta and vegetables to a bowl. In a food processor, combine the parsley (washed), onions (washed and chopped), jalapeno, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice; process until pureed.
Pour the sauce over the pasta and vegetables, add the chicken, and toss to mix.
Serve immediately with a tossed salad prepared with washed greens, your favorite crisp vegetables and fat-free salad dressing of choice.

Chicken in Creamy Mushroom Sauce (recipe for 1 serving, multiply as needed)

1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons margarine, canola-based, trans-fat free
4 medium sized mushrooms
2 fluid ounces FF chicken broth
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons green onions
3 tablespoons FF sour cream

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Cut chicken breast into 1-inch pieces; season with pepper. Melt margarine in a medium skillet. Brown chicken on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add washed and sliced mushrooms, chicken stock and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Wash and chop green onions and add to the chicken mixture, along with the sour cream. Cook a few minutes more until hot and serve over cooked pasta.

Chicken Pineapple Kabobs (recipe for 1, multiply as needed)

4 ounces chicken breasts, boneless/skinless, raw
1/3 cup pineapple, chunks canned in juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 purple onion, red
1/2 red bell pepper

Cut chicken breast into 1-inch pieces; place in a resealable bag.
Drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice. For marinade, combine 2 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice with lemon juice, soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil; pour over chicken.
Seal bag and set in a shallow dish in the refrigerator. Marinate in refrigerator for 4 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
To prepare vegetables, wash red onion and cut into thin wedges; wash red bell pepper, removing core and seeds, and cut into 1-inch chunks.
Drain the chicken, reserving marinade. Heat marinade for 1 minute in microwave on high setting.
Using a 12-inch metal skewer, alternately thread chicken, pineapple, onion, and red bell pepper chunks onto skewer.
Place kabob on broiler rack, and broil until chicken is no longer pink, turning once halfway through broiling - about 10 to 14 minutes - and brushing with marinade after turning over. (Kabobs may also be grilled, if preferred.)

I got this recipe from the wwcoreplan yahoo group. It is called Lazy girl tamale pie.

1 can black beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes with chili peppers
1 packet Boca crumbles (or the equivalent in lean
ground beef
1 Dash taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups corn meal
1 egg (or equivalent in egg substitute)
1 cup water
1. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray (I used an 8x8 dish, but think
it would be better in one slightly larger). Combine the first five
ingredients.

2. In a seperate bowl, mix together next three

3. Spead cornmeal mixture over the top of the other ingredients in the
baking dish, and season with salt and pepper as desired. Bake at 350
degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.

4. Best when served with a bit of salsa and fat free sour cream.
I used lean ground beef and instead of the topping put in one bag of boil in bag brown rice. At my house I double everything but the hamburger, I also rinse the beans, and it doesn't last long.
