Here's a fat free recipe archive I use all the time. http://cgi.fatfree.com/cgi-bin/fatfree/recipes.cgi You can always make a batch of something and freeze portions in those cool Glad plastic containers for later meals!
If you are going to increase calories, make sure it's with healthy foods; fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
Good job, Teri!!  |
There's another thing I was thinking as I read this. When you are cooking for hubby you can sneak in some healthy stuff without him suffering! Try some of the fat free recipes and just tell him you are trying a new recipe, it doesn't have to be advertised as fat free! Make veggies with the meal. Buy lean pieces of meat, make a healthy chicken, enough for both of you. Since you do the cooking you can probably sneak in all kinds of healthy stuff and he won't realize it. My challange is that hubby does the cooking. I'm trying to convert him, but he specializes in hot dogs, mac and cheese and cheeseburgers. He has started making lots of veggies with the meals for me but now that I'm eating healthy it kills me to see him and the kids eating this stuff. (Nothing like a reformed junk food junkie)
