So I have to go on a low-cholesterol diet.  However, I HATE HATE HATE trying to make food for just one person while Justin has nothing but cheese toast for dinner, so I have to try to find healthy, inexpensive meals to cook that both of us will eat.   This means that the meals may contain:

- Chicken breasts (no dark meat)
- Beef of any kind
- Salmon, perhaps, if it's prepared a certain way

It may not contain:
- Cooked tomatoes
- Peppers (bell or hot)
- Carrots
- Mushrooms
- Any sort of sauce that gets poured over top of a meat
- Cheeses other than cheddar and possibly mozzarella, but again, the cheese can't be on top of the meat

So basically we're just going to be having sautéd chicken every night and some vegetables that I cook on the side (except that I don't know what to do with a vegetable besides put butter on it, and the butter is bad for me).

Tahini is just pureed sesame seeds. Doesn't have a whole lot of flavor on its own but it's got a good consistency and makes the hummus nice and creamy.

Asparagus is a bit tough if you don't eat it cooked, and if you eat a whole lot of it, well, let's just say you'll notice when you go to the bathroom later. But it's oh so tasty when you steam or roast it!

Personally, I prefer asparagus raw or only very lightly steamed, just cut into smaller pieces. Great addition to a salad.
