Answers:

Yes I will avoid a seafood recipe entirely.

1. Try a mexican burrito with vegetarian, non fat refried beans, low fat mexican cheese (shredded), nonfat or lowfat sour cream, lettuce, salsa, black olives and whatever other veggies you want.. all wrapped up in a whole wheat tortilla! Delcious!

2. Try something called quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) that you buy in a health food store. Boil it in double the liquid (i.e. 1/2 cup quinoa in 1 cup fluid).. and use vegetable base broth for the fluid or at least half. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and cover until quinoa absorbs liquid. (About 15 to 20 minutes). This is delicous, tastes sort of like rice, is 100% vegetarian and is a COMPLETE protein so that it does not require any other foods to make a complete amino acid. Wonderfully Easy.. VERYYYYY healthy. It's a whole grain, too!

3. Try this fruit salad. Fresh pears cut up into cubes, add a few walnuts for the good (saturated) fat boost, and sprinkle heavily with cinnamon. The cinnamon will flavor the pears and give your blood sugar regulation stability. Supurb and EXCELLENT for your body!

4. An Egg Omlette: 3 egg whites, and veggies cooked in 1 tbsp olive oil to your content. I add green peppers, mushrooms (buttons, shittakes, portabella are all great) onions, chille peppers if I want something warm, and then pour a little salsa on top. Wonderful.. filled with good nutrients, and avoiding the yolks to reduce cholesterol content. Very packed with antioxidants and minerals. Fabulous protein packed breakfast food! Fast to make!

5. Try this Italian treat! Buy 100% whole wheat spaghetti noodles, cook until tender, drain. Buy organic spaghetti sauce, lo fat if you find it, and add TONS of veggies... mushrooms, green peppers, scallions, garlic, zuchinni... and I let the sauce cook on low all day in the crock pot. Then, by the end of the day the sauce is sooooo aromatic and the flavors have completely blended. Serve over warmed whole wheat spaghetti (or other whole wheat pasta) and adorn with parmesan. Wholesome goodness. High in fiber!
