Tuna and Cheddar Pocket Melts

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:
Canned tuna (solid white/albacore are my favorites), light mayonnaise, chopped tomato), whole wheat pita pockets, shredded lowfat cheddar cheese and seasonings.

TO PREPARE:
Combine tuna, tomato, seasonings to taste (try salt-free seasoning blends, garlic or onion powder, pepper) with just enough mayonnaise to coat. Stuff into pitas, along with 1 T. shredded cheese. Wrap in aluminum foil, place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven (or in toaster oven), until cheese melts - approximately 5-7 minutes.

TRY SERVING WITH:
Low-sodium tomato soup, and melon cubes.

Roast Chicken Dinner

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:
For tonight's dinner, I'm suggesting that you find a roasted chicken from your grocery store. Many stores have these cooked birds in their deli section. They often come in various flavors. You just need to remember not to eat the skin. If you can't find one, buy some pre-marinated chicken breast (like Chicken By George) and broil them for your main course.

TRY SERVING WITH:
A prepackaged salad with light or fat- free dressing, a microwaved frozen vegetable (my family likes green beans tossed with a dollop of light Cheese Whiz and some Mrs. Dash). Add a whole grain bread if desired.

Quick Chicken Stir-Fry

HERE'S WHAT TO PICK UP:
A family-size bag of frozen, light chicken stir-fry (such as Lean Cuisine; should include chicken, rice and veggies with sauce), extra fresh or frozen veggies, brown rice. Simply cook according to package directions and add extra veggies and rice.

TRY SERVING WITH:
Low-sodium soy sauce
