See if you can get some book by JoAnna M Lund. Her recipes are easy and very good. http://www.paperbackswap.com/book/browser.php?k=JoAnna+M+Lund |

Kay H. (cookingkay), Thank you. It's hard to try and find foods i can eat and serve to my 11 yrd old who can stand to lose a few lbs also. I want to make only two serving so there won't be any left over and we end up eating it. |

There's a cookbook called "What We Eat When We Eat Alone," that's good for two people; I use it for myself and DH; it's easy enough to expand, but it's plenty for the two of us who are not huge eaters. The author is Deborah Madison, who's known for her vegetable-oriented/vegetarian (altho there is meat in this book), health-consicious recipes. And check out the library; people are often amazed to find so many cookbooks there....mine has gazillion books for special recipes/health needs. |

Betty P, Thanks, I have been looking at cook books at the library but there are a lot of ingredients don't use and i really don't want to buy just for that one meal, and there are a lot of food we don't like or eat. aaahh if only i can make the food i like in a healthy version. |
