| It's so easy to get into a rut at mealtimes. I usually ask my daughter what she wants for dinner, and often she cycles through the same few dishes she enjoys. But this week, I asked her to come up with something new. Her initial response was, "Why?" But then she thought about it a bit and realized that perhaps there is more to life than pizza and chicken. One of her ideas was an Asian-style wrap of sorts. So we thought about what we wanted to include in the wrap, went shopping, and made some yummy yet lean Thai-style beef wraps. |

| Lean Thai-Style Beef Wraps |
| Eating a little lean red meat occasionally is fine, especially as it accents these flavorful Thai-style wraps. It is, after all, a good source of protein, iron, and zinc, as well a good source of important B vitamins. |

| Five Weekday Meals |
| A little bit of planning goes a long way when it comes to making dinner. All too often, I get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day and then I realize, come 6 or 7pm, that I really need to get down to making something to eat. The question is usually what? So here are a few ideas for five days' worth of dinners |

| This lemon ginger shrimp dish has the advantages of being quick and easy to cook yet is elegant enough to serve when you have company. Enjoy with a crisp green salad. |

| Baking the Low Fat Way |
| Making cakes and muffins lower in fat is not impossible, but it does involve some compromise. Fat is a big component in baking, contributing to both taste and texture. Knowing this ahead of time, plus bearing one other key thing in mind, can help you whip up a lighter cake or some low fat muffins without fear of disaster. |
