I posted the sweet potato shepherd's pie recipe here:

The baked butternut squash is really easy, and it isn't really a recipe. Basically, I slice a butternut squash in half, lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and slice into serving size pieces. I put the squash in a pan, sprinkle with cinnamon, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350 until it's nice and soft (about 1 1/2 hours, I think). I make this all the time because it's so simple, but really delicious since the squash is nice and sweet.

Side dishes I use:

sweet potatoes - cut in aprox half inch circles. sprinkle with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil or spray the top with pam. Bake on 400.

Green beans

Dressed asparagus

Dressed, baked cauliflower

Rattatouile - sautee onions in a little olive oil, add zuccini (round slices), diced tomatoes (canned or fresh). Optional red peppers and eggplant, cubed. Season with lemon juice, salt, pepper and you can also add tomato paste or a little ketchup for a more intense flavor.

mashed potatoes with fried onions.
boil potatoes, mash. (for creamier/smoother potatoes, leave a little of the water in the pot when mashing).
sautee onions in a little olive oil and salt.
add onion mixture to potatoes.
add salt to taste.

broiled chicken:
place chicken peices on pan. sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic. place on top rack in oven. Broil on first side for 30 mins, then turn over and broil a further 20 mins.

baked, breaded chicken:
slice chicken breasts into aprox 3 peices each. dip into water or egg whites, then into flavoured bread crumbs. spray pam on baking pan, place chicken on pan, bake at 350 for 20 mins. maybe a little longer.

for cakes, like others mentoined, use apple sauce instead of oil.

in general for any chicken/meat/ground meat - you can purchase a rack that goes inside the baking pan. you put the chicken/meat on the rack and then the fat drips off below, instead of the chicken/meat sitting in it.

hope that helped you somewhat!
