Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Cooking Low Fat Living Easy Recipes Seasonal Recipes From Fiona Haynes, your Guide to Low Fat Cooking This week I'm sharing some of my springtime favorites, from an asparagus frittata to a black bean chipotle chile. The latter might not sound very spring-like, but when it's wet and windy outside (not uncommon in the Pacific Northwest), a soothing bowl of warm chili is exactly what's needed! Asparagus Frittata This low fat asparagus frittata is a lovely spring time dish. Use either egg substitute or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites. Serve with some fresh fruit and a low fat muffin on the side. Salmon with Asparagus in Foil Steamed to perfection in about 15 minutes, this healthy and nutritious salmon and asparagus dish makes a quick and easy dinner with very little clean up. Serve with whole grain rice or couscous and a squeeze of lemon juice. Be careful when opening the foil packs, as the steam will be very hot. Mushroom Risotto One good way to eat less fat during the course of a week is to switch one or two meat-based dishes for vegetable-based ones. One such dish could be risotto, so long as you're not too heavy handed with cheese or you dispense with cheese altogether. Black Bean Chipotle Chile This black bean chipotle chili is actually one of my all-time favorite cool-weather recipes. The smokiness and heat imparted by the chipotle chile adds a great depth of flavor to this hearty and delicious vegetarian dish.
