This is a great tasting spinach and artichoke side dish. Make it even more healthy with fat free mayo and sour cream and a butter substitute.

Black beans, sweet potatoes and kale are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green!)

Green beans and onions are lightly sautéed in only 1 tablespoon of oil.

This is my alternative to fried rice which uses no oil!

This is a recipe i put together last night with the veggies I had in the fridge and my husband and daughter LOVED it. Very yummy over ride pilaf or couscous. You can add chicken or fish to make this a non-veggie meal

Not your average summer salad, this is a healthy take on a much higher calorie version served long ago at the Heidel House in Green Lake, WI. It works well instead of coleslaw or potato salad at a cookout or picnic.
