Ingredients
Sauce:
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt or light sour cream

1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Rest of ingredients:
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
1 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

4 slices red onion, separated into rings
Directions
Combine all of the sauce ingredients and stir to mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Combine the chicken, lemon pepper, oregano, and garlic powder in a medium bowl and toss to mix well. Coat a large nonstick skillet with olive oil and preheat over medium-high heat.

Directions
Combine eggs, water and pepper in a small bowl; whisk gently to blend the whites and yolks, but not to make them frothy.
Melt the olive oil in a 10-inch, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, tilting to coat the bottom and sides.
Once the oil is hot, pour the eggs in.
As the eggs start to set, lift the edges so the uncooked egg mixture flows underneath. Cook until the eggs are set and no visible liquid egg remains, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Top half the omelet with tomatoes, cheese and olives; sprinkle with parsley and herbs de Provence. Flip the unfilled half of the omelet over the top.
Heat until lightly browned on the bottom, then slide onto a plate to serve.
Garnish with parsley sprigs.

The only thing I can help you with is the food aspect of it. That said, here are six recipes to get you started. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED STRAWBERRIES
Yield: 8 servings
Serving Size: 3 strawberries
View online: http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/html/754.shtml
Ingredients
2 pint baskets California strawberries
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Finely chopped toasted almonds or pistachios (optional)
Directions
Line large baking sheet with waxed paper. Rinse strawberries and pat dry with paper towels.
In separate small, microwave-safe bowls (such as custard cups) melt chocolates, one at a time, in microwave at 50-percent (medium) power, allowing 1-1/2 to 2 minutes each. Stir until smooth. (If not completely melted, microwave a few seconds longer.) Or, melt chocolate as package directs.
Holding strawberry by stem end, dip into chocolate to cover about three-fourths of berry; dip into nuts, if desired, and lay on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries, chocolate and nuts.
Refrigerate until chocolate is set.
For Double- and Triple- Dipped Strawberries:
After first coating of chocolate is set, dip into contrasting chocolate, leaving part of the first chocolate exposed. Repeat with third chocolate, if you wish, allowing each layer to set between dips.
To Drizzle Strawberries with Chocolate:
Microwave chocolate in small plastic bag until melted; squeeze into one corner of bag. Lay strawberries close together on baking sheet. With scissors, cut a small hole in corner of bag, and move back and forth over strawberries, squeezing bag gently. Or, drizzle contrasting chocolate over strawberries that have been dipped. Refrigerate until set.
NOTES: Microwave melting times vary with amount of chocolate and wattage of your oven. Chocolate amounts are approximate; amount needed depends on size of strawberries, and whether or not they are single, double, triple-dipped or drizzled.
