Tomato, Pesto, Feta grilled sandwich
I'm not sure this one needs explanation. If you can make a grilled cheese sandwich, it is very similar. Spread margarine on 2 pcs of whole wheat bread. Place one margarine- side down, layer fresh tomato slices, feta, black olives, and spread pesto over the top. Cover with other slice of bread, margarine side up. Cook over medium heat until both sides are crisp. Serve with fresh tomato soup for a very healthy, delish meal.

Lazy Lasagna
Same great taste as a lasagna, but not as pretty. Made in less than 30 minutes!
In large skillet, brown ground meat (chicken, turkey, lean hamburger), add small-medium onion until translucent.
In a saucepan, boil water and cook spiral pasta or shell macaroni according to 'al dente' or 'firm' directions.
In skillet, add a jar of your fave spaghetti sauce (this would be a good chance to add fresh or frozen veggies or mushrooms to the mix!!)
Combine one small container of low fat cottage cheese and 1/2 package of shredded mozzarella (low fat?) in skillet with meat. when pasta is done, drain, rinse with hot water, and add to pain.
Serve with garlic bread, small salad, or whole grain toasted bread and oil with herbs (my favorite.)
