You can do wonderful things with seafood or chicken if you want
something light that the non veggie eaters will like. Look at
www.epicurious.com and type in the general food you want to use such as
chicken breasts. Chicken is always safe since a lot of people don't
like the fish. If they like shellfish, a cold shrimp salad with cold
asparagus and artichoke hearts would be nice.

for every time there was a pot–luck.
If made with lo–fat mayo it would fit the bill.
If you want it, please ask.
My mother has almost all of them, and to be honest, the food is for the most
part very good, and mostly not too heavy if you don't stuff yourself to the
tippy top. I would like to suggest from one of them (if you'd like the
recipe I'll send it over), Chickenburgers. The recipe calls for a pound of
ground chicken, lemon, parsley, salt (we cut the salt down a lot here, as
the original calls for way too much), pepper, cumin, and some thing else,
but basically you mix it all up, make burgers, and pan fry them in peanut
oil and then drizzle with lemon juice as the eater wishes. I find them to
be de–lish... but two people can kill the 6 burgers 1lb of ground chicken
makes, so you'd have to double it up perhaps. And it carries the lemon too.
^_^ sides, you're on your own. I'm all about the main course. ;–)

OT completely and I'm sorry but help! Luncheon ideas?

So a friend of mine and her fiance are coming over Saturday, and when
we planned it three weeks ago we settled on having deep dish pizza,
Chicago style complete with spoons. I promised a nice meal in return
for her finance doing some light carpentry for us in the basement. I
mean, I would have fed them anyway but I wanted to make it special
since he is doing us a huge favor. :)
But I find out yesterday that she's decided she needs to lose a few
pounds (before November) and pizza is now VERBOTEN.
So now I have to come up with a luncheon menu to have for Saturday
that's light and tasty.
The only thing I know of for sure is I'm making Paula Deen's Lemon
Blossoms for dessert – they're not exactly "light" but they're small
and the portions are easily controlled and is anybody eats a bunch of
them it's not my fault.
But... but... what for the actual meal? I don't want to do anything
like a Caesar salad since the two guys at the table don't like
vegetables.
ARGH. Help! Light, tasty, easy on the vegetables... ack.

How about broiled fish with vegetables? Many interesting and tasty
recipes are available for salmon, but you could use many other types of
fish in place of it. Serve roasted asparagus and new potatoes
alongside, and maybe some rice.

My typical "do something with rice" is to add meat and process cheese
but then I eat it as a main dish. (One very sticky pan results, alas.)
I also put it in soup.
I've seen veggies cooked together with rice, the cafeteria at work has
a fairly edible version but their recipe would probably feed 500.

Thanks everybody for the great ideas. I was in a total panic. I'm
pretty insecure in my cooking and this friend of mine is a great cook
so that makes it even worse!
After some reading and a trip to the Super H in Atlanta, I've decided
to have cranberry orange chicken (skinless, boneless breasts), herb
roasted potatoes, tomatoes stuffed with reduced calorie feta cheese,
spinich and mandarin orange salad with a very light white wine
dressing and then the Onion Blossoms for dessert. I'll make those
with applesauce instead of oil and keep the glaze on the thin side.
Iced tea for a beverage. I'm thinking of also making Paula's Peach
Tea to keep with the fruity theme of the menu but I don't know. Maybe
I'll make some regular tea and that as well just in case it doesn't go
over. It has peach gelatin in it. Sounds good, but you never know...
I ran the menu by my friend and she gave it the okay. Whew.
Thanks everyone for keeping me front going bonkers. The Epicurious
site is a real find, thanks for the pointer to it.

Yep, I wouldn't serve both the potatoes and the rice either, I wasn't
really thinking on that I guess.
I cook vegetarian at home (we eat meat in restaurants from time to time
– especially if it is a steak house!), and I make risotto for a main
dish sometimes. I do make a lot of white rice and whole grain rice, my
son loves it.
