Ingredients:
280 ml water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin oil
350 g broccoli florets
175 g packet couscous ( Waitrose Garlic & Coriander)
350 g chopped cooked chicken
Juice of 1 lemon( about 3 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

In a large frying pan, bring the water, oil and broccoli to a boil.. Stir in the couscous, chicken, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Remove from the heat. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff lightly with a fork. Chill well and serve cold.

Ingredients:
60 g old- fashioned oatmeal
60 g low fat cottage cheese ( or tofu)
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Lite cooking spray

Mix the oatmeal, cottage cheese, egg whites, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg in a blender until smooth. Spray a non -stick frying pan with cooking spray. Add the batter and cook over medium heat until both sides are lightly brown.
You can top the pancake with a low sugar syrup of your choice.

Ingredients:
1 slice pancetta or prosciutto or thick-sliced bacon
1 clove garlic
1/2 Tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 head cabbage, chopped thinly or shredded

Chop the first three ingredients together until well-minced. This is "battuto" in Italy. Fry the battuto in the oil until is sizzles. Add the cabbage and stir well to coat with the oil and battuto. Sautee 10 minutes, until cabbage is tender but not limp.

Variation:

SMOTHERED CABBAGE

Same as above, but use 2 1/2 pounds of cabbage (a whole head?) and do not sautee. Instead, cover and cook over low heat for an hour, adding 1/2 cup chicken stock or white wine a little at a time.

Ingredients:
milk
strawberry flavoring
Splenda

Pour your milk in a glass about 8oz. or so. Add your strawberry flavoring and Splenda to taste. Hard to tell the difference!

Ingredients:
Steak
Cheese, grated

Broil steak (med. rare) and cut it in thin slices.

Grate cheese of your choice (I prefer monterey jack) on top of the steak slices and heat (I use the microwave).
