Someone in my cluster just posted this on our yahoo group. Thought maybe somebody here could help:

"Hi everyone! Does anyone have a good suggestion for a low-cal, low-fat recipe to make at a show? My host tomorrow is doing weight watchers and wants a recipe to fit with that. Any suggestions would be appreciated! ! Thanks!! :)"
 
Steamed Wonton Purses! Great appetizer recipe - and low fat!
 
lots of them in the good for you cookbook
 
The Grilled Chicken Penne al Fresco or the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder (she has to pick her ingredients carefully). If you send her a few options from the "Low" category she can tabulate the points values and make an informed choice.
 
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out to our group for recipe suggestions. I have a few ideas that may fit your host's needs. One option could be our Asian lettuce wraps, which are low in calories and can be made with lean protein like chicken or tofu. Another idea is our quinoa and vegetable stir-fry, which is both low in fat and packed with nutritious ingredients. Let me know if you would like the full recipes for either of these dishes. I hope this helps and good luck with your show tomorrow!
