A really great thing I had on vacation is steamed vegetables served with a low-fat or fat free cheese fondue. It's really wonderful for the winter, with a green salad served on the side. Just use reduced fat cheese, skim milk, and follow a recipe using lower fat option rather than the full fat items Steamed veggies are great and the kids love the fondue. You can also serve some roast chicken on the plate to dip in the cheese. I grew up in the South where we eat lots of rice, and I love it.
Italian risotto is really wonderful.
You can put lots of things in it and it tastes great. There are endless risotto recipes and it's easy to make. Our Pumpkin Sage Risotto recipe in the Recipe Box can be made in a pressure cooker in just a few minutes. I particularly enjoy one-pot meals, and risotto is a great one of those. I usually use a 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 ratio.
