Remember, if you use fresh herbs with the eggs, you won't need the mayo for flavor, it will already HAVE flavor. If you like spicy - add some Tabasco.

Chicken marinade: 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice 2 tbl spn soy sauce 2 tbl spn paprika 2 tbl spn ground ginger 6 cloves garlic 2 tbl spn grated lemon zest - Put the whole thing in a blender for 3-4 continuous minutes, it should get really smooth. - Use the marinade for chicken or really meaty fish (like tuna steaks or swordfish) - Hungarian Paprika is preferred, but standard will be ok too. For marinade: put poultry or fish in ziplock bag with marinade for 30 minutes, up to overnight in fridge. Take the fish or poultry out and leave the excess marinade in the bag. Bake as normal. When baking is 50% done, add the rest of the marinade to the pan.

I am finding out that olive oil mayo is sooooo good. It has half the fat and calories of regular mayo,(a bit more sodium). I use it for chicken, tuna, salmon and egg salad. It has a slightly different flavor. I made cole slaw with it. Try the Fresh Express ready to mix cole slaw It uses only a half cup of mayo in the recipe. You get numerous servings and it is basically veggies with a teenie bit of mayo. It is a great addition to your protein or sandwich.

Thanks for the idea and recipes guys! I did want to mention that we are entering FARMER'S MARKET SEASON. Just about every suburb and most Chicago neighborhoods have farmer's markets these days. Try to get a day or two of fresh produce from these wonderful guys and gals. Usually, if you see something you've never tried before the farmer will have recipe or cooking ideas for you. Also, when it's zucchini season (like it is now and will be for a few more weeks) - think about doing things a little different. I use a vegetable peeler to shave the zucchini into long ribbons and make a salad with that instead of lettuce. I can also julienne it into a cole-slaw-like topping for sandwiches. Fresh produce has more flavor. If you savor the flavor you will need to eat less to feel full and will ENJOY your food more. I like enjoying my food! :)

Grilled Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Onions and chicken. Great weekend food. Just added a tiny bit of olive oil, pinch of salt, pepper and squeezed a lemon over the veggies. For the chicken I put oregano, shallots, lemon zest, lemon juice and white wine in a blender and poured it over the chicken. I poured half over the chicken before it went on the grill and half once it came off.

Latest Tips from Bob Greene to combat stress eating: We all know that “stress eating” can be a major culprit of poor nutrition. A recent survey conducted by Wasa Crispbread found that nearly 22 percent of Americans admitted that they had been eating less healthfully than normal due to the economy. And, 64 percent of Americans who eat while stressed typically reach for junk foods - likely the saltiest, sweetest or highest-calorie options. To get back on track, Bob recommends: • Choose nutritious, filling foods that crunch: Crunchy, high-fiber foods, like almonds, carrots and whole grain Wasa Crispbread can provide great mental and physical satisfaction. Moreover, studies have shown the action of chewing longer, which is required with most crunchy foods, can aid in satiety. Stock your “stress areas,” like your office, with healthy, crunchy snacks and skip the trip to the vending machine. • Add variety to your meal and snack options. One of my favorite Best Life recipes is Margherita Pizza on Wasa Crispbread with mozzarella, tomato and basil.

Recent favorite breakfast. Really only takes 5 minutes if you have chopped up veggies in the fridge (which all of you should) 1) Toss chopped onions, green peppers, and mushrooms in sautee pan w/ 1/2 tsp of olive oil. 2) Add 4 egg whites (or egg beaters) 3) Toast 2 pieces of whole wheat bread (or Thomas Light Multigrain english muffins, or 1 wheat tortilla). 4) 1 tsp of smart balance or reduced fat mayo just for flavor.
