cooking with what?

Hello everyone! I am looking for a website or even just some good recipes I can try. I am ready to start sitting at the dinner table with my family again and actually have a plate of food infront of me, not something pureed or baby food. I have googled some recipes but just can't seem to find anything that would fit into my diet. I am so use to cooking with a ton of butter or mayo (which I already know makes me sick as a dog ) that I need to get use to cooking with out it since my family will benefit as well. So any great ideas would be great. I also wanted to thank everyone on this bored, I may not post all the time but just reading what you guys have to say helps me in more ways than anyone can imagine. I am now 5 weeks out and am down 38 lbs. so I am very excited.
