Potato Tofu Gratin
As the cool weather starts moving in, I like eating warm comfort foods like potatoes. They are filling and nutritious, as well as fat free.

Black Beans and Cornbread
I love beans! They taste good and are satisfying. As a bonus they are naturally low in fat, high in protein and high in fiber. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to fix black beans, and what better way to eat them than with good American cornbread! Ingredients 500 g. (~1 lb) dried…
