A veggie recipe
The vegtables it calls for are great too but I think you could add most anything.

1 | 12- to 16-ounce package light, reduced-fat, or regular extra-firm tub-style tofu (fresh bean curd), drained |
3 | tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce or soy sauce |
2 | cups fresh snow pea pods (8 ounces) |
1/4 | cup yellow cornmeal |
1/8 | teaspoon ground red pepper |
2 | teaspoons toasted sesame oil |
1 | medium red sweet pepper, cut into thin strips |
1 | medium yellow sweet pepper, cut into thin strips |
8 | green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces |
2 | teaspoons cooking oil |
1 | tablespoon white or black sesame seed, toasted (optional) |
1. Cut tofu crosswise into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in a single layer in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce over tofu; turn slices to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2. Remove strings and tips from pea pods; cut in half. Set pea pods aside. In a shallow dish combine cornmeal and ground red pepper. Drain tofu, discarding marinade. Carefully dip tofu slices in cornmeal mixture; press gently to coat both sides. Set tofu slices aside.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil into a large nonstick skillet. Preheat over medium-high heat. Stir-fry sweet pepper strips for 2 minutes. Add pea pods and green onions; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes more or until crisp-tender.
4. Remove skillet from heat; stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce. Transfer vegetable mixture to a serving platter; cover and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.
5. In the same skillet heat the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil and the cooking oil over medium heat. Cook the coated tofu slices for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden brown, using a spatula to turn carefully. Serve tofu slices over vegetable mixture. If desired, sprinkle with sesame seed. Makes 4 servings.
I take chicken cooked any way you like and use my Pampered chef chopper to make it in small pieces. Then I microwave a half of spaghetti squash and scrape out into cassarole dish. I add my favorite spaghetti sauce, the chicken and low fat mozerrella. Then I bake it on 350 for 20-30 minutes. It is a fabulous replacement for pasta. I am only 3 months out so this works great.
Hope you like it,
