" I&amp;#x27;ve already mentioned that cooking is my ultimate stress-buster. And the only thing I love more than cooking is hosting dinner parties. But that doesn&amp;#x27;t mean dishes have to be high-cal to please a crowd. Read on to see how I cooked a fresh, light dinner--with enough calories to spare for a glass of vino!Over the weekend, a couple of girlfriends and I made one of the Exactly What to Eat to Lose Weight recipes. I wanted it to feel more special than a weeknight meal, so we whipped up grilled swordfish with blood orange sauce. Sure, it took us a while to prep the ingredients in between our chatting, and there was a teeny mishap with the recipe (and the fire alarm!), but the dish turned out restaurant-worthy. The accompanying jicama, pepper and blood orange salad added a refreshing hit of citrus flavor to the buttery-tasting fish. Plus, the colors all popped on the plate, don&amp;#x27;t you think? A note on swordfish: If you&amp;#x27;re pregnant, nursing or are trying to get pregnant, you should stay away from it because of its mercury content. I only eat swordfish once a year, so it&amp;#x27;s rare treat. If you&amp;#x27;re concerned about mercury, you can swap in another white fish like mahi mahi or cod.
