These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Chicken and Waffle Sandwiches

These made really yummy sandwiches, but Jim and I agreed they'd be better on just regular bread. The special mayo is especially tasty!


Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 slices lower-sodium bacon, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
1 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 frozen whole-grain waffles, toasted
6 ounces thinly sliced, lower-sodium deli chicken breast
8 (1/4-inch-thick) slices ripe tomato
4 Boston lettuce leaves 
 
Preparation:
1. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
2. Combine mayonnaise and the next 5 ingredients (through black pepper) in a small bowl.
3. Spread mayonnaise mixture evenly over 4 waffles. Divide chicken, bacon, tomato, and lettuce evenly among servings. Top with remaining waffles.
