[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 195864, member: 1991"] We went through a phase of V-8 and difficult child 1 wanting gazpacho. So we developed this recipe - a glass of V-8 (tomato mostly). Dash of tabasco. Some fresh basil, ice cubes, a few slices of onion, a slice of garlic. Blend, serve with more ice and a celery stick as swizzle stick. For the cocktail party, add vodka. difficult child 3 made huevos rancheros the other night, using the recipe in his Nintendo DS Cooking Guide. I'm not sure when this gem of software is available in the US but I strongly recommend you get one, so you can get your kids to do the cooking. The recipes are a bit simplified (in my opinion). The huevos rancheros - lovely. And probably very low-cal, low-fat and balanced. I liked it so much I cooked it for lunch for us today. Obviously you have to avoid loads of cheese and sour cream! The salsa in the recipe was made from tinned tomatoes, but I used bottled sugo (or passata). You could use bottled pasta sauce. I've found a good thing to use for flavour on this diet - fresh herbs from the garden. It can make such a great difference. Plus there's something liberating about going out to the garden, plucking a leaf here, a stem there, adding it to your food and knowing you just made a distinctive gourmet meal with the freshest ingredients.
