"Macaroni" & Cheese

ingredients:

1½ cups cauliflower, steamed and chopped (3 greens)

½ cup moderate-fat shredded cheddar (1/2 lean)

½ cup moderate-fat shredded mexican cheese (1/2 lean)

2 tablespoons half & half (1 healthy fat)

1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese (1 condiment)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (1 condiment)

¼ teaspoon onion powder (1 condiment)

1 servings of 1 lean, 3 greens, 3 condiments and 1 healthy fat

Preheat oven to 350° F. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, warm half & half and cream cheese. Add black pepper and onion powder. Wisk until melted and creamy, but do not let boil; keep warm. Mix cheese together in mixing bowl. Pour ¾ of the cheese mixture into the saucepan. Stir until cheese is completely melted. Add cauliflower and gently fold until cauliflower is covered. Place mixture in a baking dish and top with remaining shredded cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is browned.

Tofu Parmesan

Ingredients:

11.25 oz Mori-Nu extra-firm tofu (2/3 lean)

1/2 cup eggbeaters - simply for dipping and coating

1 oz 2% mozzarella (1/3 lean)

1 bag Parmesan Cheese puffs (1 MF meal)

1/4 TSP garlic powder (1/2 condiment)

1/4 TSP onion powder (1/2 condiment)

Serving: 1 serving of 1 lean, 1 condiment, and 1 MF meal

Directions:

Take the tofu and cut it into slices about 1 inch think. Dip them carefully into a bowl of Egg Beaters. Then dredge the slices in a plastic bag of crushed Parmesan Cheese Puffs, onion powder, and garlic powder. Place the breaded tofu slices on a cookie sheet that you've sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes, then flip the tofu over and bake another 15 minutes. Top with a low carb/fat tomato sauce or a light alfredo sauce (I recommend Classico Light Alfredo) and an ounce of 2% low fat mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven just until the cheese melts.
