hi ruth,
i have used the silken tofu (and you can get 'lite' tofu, too) in the morning as a way to stretch out my protein.
i spray pam in a nonstick pan, toss in chunks of the tofu and lightfully saute it. then i add a beaten egg (that i've added a little milk to) and scramble everything together, keeping the egg really moist and soft.
you can use any spices you like, e.g., salt & pepper, onion powder, garlic, etc. if i do this for lunch or supper, i've added some marinara sauce for a little flavor, if you can have this.

I'm a big 'seasoning' person so I like making chicken Fajitas, I just buy the pre-packaged marinade and sauteeing the chicken with some peppers and onions (if you can have them****il the veggies are soft and I might use a little bit of lite sour cream and/or low-fat cheese to doll them up. They are d'lish.
Also, I bake chicken breast pieces with fresh basil and a light red sauce and it is yummy.
Shredded chicken taco meat is good with a little re-fried beans. (Just bake or pan fry the chicken in water and shred it with a fork when it is done and use the store-bought seasoning)
Also, I run a restaurant where our speicalty is wings. I don't eat the wings cuz they are fried, but, I'll grill a chicken breast and put my favorite (of 12) sauces on the chicken and eat it (usually one breast lasts me 2-3 meals). Make sure the sauce you use isn't butter based and it should be great.
I love to cook!!! And, I love mexican food.
