I was wondering how many of you like to cook. You know... come home from work, get out the ingredients and cook a "real" dinner? I'm not one of those women. I really don't like to cook and I hate to mess up the kitchen. If I cook, I have to do dishes, etc.
However, I really do like home cooked meals. Go figure.
So... here's the dilemma... my husband needs to eat healthier. He is struggling with processed foods. We need to cut out the grease and fat in the evening. His triglycerides are too high! He is not overweight and does NOT have high cholesterol. But, the doctor has given us a low cholesterol diet. For him to follow this diet, I need to cook dinner in the evening. UUggghhhh...
I'm going to do an internet search for low fat meals that won't require too much cooking. Let me know if you have any especially "tasty" meals that would be appropriate for out new food regimen.

My husband is a type 1 diabetic so we do lots of chicken and very little carbs. One of our favorite chicken recipes right now (and it goes on the grill so not many dishes) is an Italian chicken.
you take:
4 skinless chickenbreasts
2 tablespoons of Kraft sundried tomato vinigrette dressing
Low fat mozz cheese
and 2 roma tomatoes chopped
Marinate the chicken in the dressing in a ziploc bag for at least 30 minutes.
Heat your grill to med heat, I put foil on the grill so the juices don't run off, but you don't have to. Cook the chicken until juices run clear.
While the chicken is finishing up chop your tomatoes and drizzle a bit more of the dressing on them.
When the chicken is almost done top each brest with some of the tomato and a little cheese, let melt and enjoy.
We usually eat this with a salad.
