Nourishing another family

Today was another great day of cooking! Sadly, I forgot my camera, and my phone camera photo is so spotty, it could be viewed as a masterpiece from the Impressionist era.

I did want to share this menu, though, because it was designed for a special diet: low fat and a small amount of red meat. To help keep track of their dinners, I printed nutrition facts for each of the dishes I cooked. This is a service I'm happy to offer my clients.

Most of the recipes here came from Cooking Light and Weight Watchers with, of course, a few of Chef Leigh's special revisions. These dishes don't rely on a lot of butter and oil for flavor, so the ingredients are able to sparkle on their own!
