If you are like me and have a hard time getting your veggies in, try getting a variety, squash, eggplant, tomato, zucchinni (sp?) or whatever and dice it up fine (no skin on the eggplant) then puree it together. If it is too chunky add in a tough of water and some no salt added tomato sauce. Season it with herbs and spices, a lil pepper, and salt if you want or Mrs. Dash's. That makes a great pasta sauce and you get all of your veggies in!

Hi,

Reduced-salt soy sauce on rice.
Lemon/Lime on rice.
Pineapple on rice.
Red beans and rice.
Tomato juice, tomato paste, herbs/spices, and whatever veggies is in the fridge for a nice pasta sauce.
A healthy oil and herbs/spices and/or garlic on pasta.


P.S. I sure hope your goal is in Kilos.

Try a modified lemon-wine sauce. After reducing, the flavor gets to be intense, so this recipe makes about 6 servings at roughly 34 calories each:

1/2 cup white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
1 TBSP finely diced shallot
1 TBSP butter

Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Reduce heat, add wine and lemon juice and simmer, uncovered for about 15 minutes. Add diced shallot and simmer another 5 minutes uncovered, until sauce begins to reduce. Serve hot over pasta, rice or poultry.

This is a base sauce which does well on its own. You can add other items, however, to alter or intensify the flavor. Optional ingredients include capers, tarragon or dill. Mix and match fresh herbs until you get the flavor you like; simmer uncovered until the reduction meets the intensity you require.

I can't think of anything else besides salsa that is healthy and that I can put on my pasta and rice.
Do you guys have any ideas?
