Vegetable Lasagna
 

One Box Lasagna Noodles (wheat or spinach is great)
2 jars spaghetti sauce of your choice, or make your own
1 lg can chopped tomatoes, low or no salt added
1 summer squash, sliced
1 zuchini, sliced
1 small head broccolli, florets removed
1 small box fresh mushrooms sliced
1 red pepper sliced
1 green pepper sliced
1 vidalia onion sliced
1 small bag of baby carrots
2 large containers fat free cottage cheese
2 bags fat free shredded motzarella
1 cup low fat parmesan cheese
1/2 cup egg substitute

You can cook your lasagna noodles if you prefer. (I did not.)Sautee or steam all vegetables slightly. You want them still a little crispy/firm
Spray fat free cooking spray in large pan (I used a large covered roasting pan). Splash a little sauce around to cover bottom. Put in a layer of noodles. Mix all cheese and egg subsitute together. Put thin layer of cheese mix on top of noodles. Put a layer of 1/3 of veggies on top of cheese, cover with 1/3 of sauce. Put a layer of noodles on top of that. Alternate layers until all used, end with a layer of noodles with a little sauce on top.

Cover pan and bake at 350 degrees until beginning to brown, about 1-2 hours. Serve with fresh green salad with low fat or fat free dressing and hot wheat rolls with Smart Balance buttery spread.

You can mix the veggies and use anything you wish.

mmmmmmmm I am hungry writing this!! :p

Oven Fried Meat
 

Here's how we do oven fried meat (chicken, fish, pork & veal): ;)

Wash meat under cold running water (cut all fat off meat)

Dry meat off with paper towel

If meat is too thick, use a meat tenderizer & beat it down some. :eek:

Use whatever seasoning you normally would use (watch sodium & fat)

Dip meat in egg beaters (artificial eggs)

Then dip in crushed corn flake crumbs (comes like that in a box).

Spray "Pam spray with Olive Oil" on baking dish.

Put meat in baking dish.

Bake 350º - 12-15 minutes on one side.

Before you turn the meat, spray the top of the MEAT. then turn meat over.

Cook another 12-15 minutes.

Mmmmm Mmmmmm good! :p

This is according to OUR oven temperature. You may have to adjust the time some according to YOUR oven temperature. ENJOY! NO MORE "FRIED" FOOD FOR US!

A couple recipes from Mette
 

Here is a recipe that is easy and makes a great bread!
-------
Rye-bread - rugbrød
3 ½ oz (100 g) yeast
1 pint (5 dl) buttermilk
3-4 tablesp. (1 dl) water
About 1 3/4 lb (850 g) rye flour
1 teasp. salt
A handfull of pumpkin seeds (not salted or anything)

All the ingredients should be at room temperature before baking.

Heat the buttermilk and water until lukewarm (35° C), stir in the yeast and gradually add the salt and flour. Knead until smooth and shiny, adding a little more water if necessary. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place for 2 hours with no draft.

When risen, knead lightly, fill in the seeds, transfer to a greased form and set aside for 1 hour to rise again, covering with a damp cloth. Brush with water and bake at 400° F (200o C) for about 1 1/4 hr, brushing now and again with water during the baking.
-------------------

Now you're not supposed to use butter, so you need a delicisious spread! try this:

Ingredients
½ a 425g/15oz can of butter beans, drained
½ lemon, grated rind and juice
½ clove garlic, crushed
1 tbsp fresh mint finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp water (approx)
salt and black pepper, to taste
sprigs of mint, to garnish

Method
1. Place the butter beans and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, adjusting the amount of water to give a smooth pate. Season and spread onto your chosen bread. Add the mint to garnish. Also delicious with salad.

You can put garlic in it too!
Have fun!
