Black Bean Salsa

Draining the marinade before serving keeps the fat and sodium low in this cold pasta salad.

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

Use as a dip for veggies or a spread on pita and sandwiches.

I don't like fish much, but I love this recipe! I think the sauce can be used with other fish/seafood.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

This homemade alternative to store-bought granola bars, is a good source of protein, fiber and healthy fats. Tasty and so simple to make! A quarter cup of raisins (not included here) also make a yummy addition!

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

After the pasta and onion are sautéed, the oil is drained to minimize the fat content of this interesting pilaf.

This recipe has a number of components, but all can be made ahead, particularly the tomato puree and the white sauce. You can substitute 3 (8-ounce) cans of tomato puree for the homemade tomato puree. You can also use a grill pan to prepare the vegetables indoors.

This hummus and feta wrap is so quick and easy if you store pre-cut vegetables in your fridge. It is a great, lowfat, heart healthy lunch!

The dressing makes the fruit an extra-sweet treat.

The vegetables can marinate for a couple of hours, so all you'll have to do at party time is arrange them on a platter and top with olives and cheese. Immediately place the prepared vegetables in the marinade so they won't discolor. Be sure to use fresh mozzarella, which comes packed in water and is usually found with the specialty cheeses. Coarsely chop leftovers and toss with pasta for a cold salad.

Great for the fall holidays! Or just for a healthy snack!
