How many of us are on some sort of irrational diet that leaves practically nothing on the safe list?
My husband was told, 4 years ago, that he has high cholsterol. Since then we have been on a low fat, low cholesterol, low sodium diet and tried a "promise to make you healthy" meal replacement plan. Now on top of trying a product line called USANA , we are trying for low glysemic too!
I have no idea what to fix for dinner that meets all the criteria and isn't always chicken!
Stir fry has become my new favorite. I try to do more veggies and no starchy side dishes, but it is still a pain to figure out what to make.
I have also tried to look up recipes at Kraft and modify the recipe to suit us. Their site is really cool. It has a search tool that lets you search for recipes by ingredent, like ground beef or pork, or also search by meal, like breakfast or dinner. It has nutritional labels for almost every recipe too!
Well, I have dinner figured out for tonight so I should quit gripping!

Good work Monica. I use the site Epicurious for my recipes, though not always the most low fat ;-). My heart healthy dinner are usually a huge pile of lettuce with olive oil and vinegar, then some sort of protein. Have you tried Tempeh? it's a great meat substitue.
Be well,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff.
I haven't heard of tempeh, but don't like tofu nor boca anything!
Haven't quite figured out the link mode yet either.
Oh, well. It's a work in progress!
