| Carol heres one for you if you like italian sauces I make up a big batch of this tomato sauce and freeze it in serving sized containers. You can use any vegetables that you have on hand 1 large onion It doesn't matter if you chop them up fine or chunky, its up to you and what you prefer Start with the onion and garlic in a big pan with no oil, sweat them, just stir it till onion is clear then add the other vegetables till combined and stir to stop them sticking Add the crumbled stock cube tomatoes and tomato paste and puree and allow to simmer with lid on pan for an hour or so. When done you cook up some pasta 10 minutes only drain put it in the base of a deep baking pan. Put leftover chicken on top then the sauce on top and bake in mod oven for 15 minutes.

| Low fat cream sauce: 1 tbsp reduced fat/calorie margarine Melt margarine in saucepan. Whisk in flour until combined and starts to cook a little (you are making a roux). Whisk in skim milk, making sure to whisk quickly and thouroughly to remove lumps. I whisk it in a little at a time until it is smooth then add the rest. Allow to come to a boil to completely thicken. Lower heat. Add cream cheese and whisk well until incorporated. Season. Low fat chicken sauce or chicken gravy: Same as above except omit the cream cheese if you like and add fat free chicken stock instead of the milk. Sometimes I make it with half milk and half fat free chicken stock, and when it is done give it a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Add your chopped chicken to this and warm through, then serve over no-yolk/fat free egg noodles. Very good!

| People don't like to hear this, but skinned dark meat chicken has more 'fat' than about 15 different cuts of red meat. If you must eat chicken eat only the white meat and add only 1/2 of a normal quantity to your recipe. If it calls for 3 cups add only 1 1/2 cups. This will make it 'lower' fat. Meats add fat no matter how you cook it, sorry. |

| Low-fat Chicken and Dumplings. 1 (10 ¾ oz.) can low fat cream of chicken soup In large boiler, bring soup and water to a boil. Cut tortillas into short strips and add to soup. Add chicken, reduce heat, and cook 8-18 minutes. Stir often. This is really good! |
