Focusing on vegetables for both appetizers and side dishes will help save you plenty of fat and calories. A platter of crudités served with a low-fat dip gives you the crunch of potato chips without the fat.

This simple tangy-sweet lamb recipe is suitable for both Easter and Passover. The glaze gives the meat flavor without a need for heavy gravies or sauces.

Spring Celebration Lamb Chops

6 shoulder lamb chops, about 3/4 inch thick

3 tablespoons orange juice

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoons salt

dash white pepper

20 oz. can pineapple tidbits, drained

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint

Mix orange juice, honey, salt and pepper in small bowl. Place lamb chops on broiler pan. Brush with the orange juice mixture. Broil about 5" from heat about 5-6 minutes or until brown. Turn, brush with more orange juice mixture and broil 6-9 minutes or until brown and to desired doneness.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine remaining orange juice mixture, pineapple and mint. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Boil for 2 minutes and serve with the lamb chops.
