This recipe takes a traditional French dish and gives it a California twist. A good portion of the fat comes from the avocado, which has mostly heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

This recipe serves one, but go ahead and make a few more servings so you'll have leftovers.

Panzanella is an Italian salad that can be found on trendy bistro menus in the hot summer months. I'll share a secret with you: This salad was invented when times were tough, as a way to use up stale bread.

Essentially, you make a salad--traditionally with plenty of fresh tomatoes--toss it with a vinaigrette, then add cubed stale or toasted bread just before serving.

You can toast up a day-old baguette or fresh bread, depending on what you have in the kitchen.

The bread soaks up all the delicious juice from the tomatoes and the tangy vinaigrette. The rest of the summer-fresh vegetables add crunch and freshness.

NOTE: If you're watching your sodium intake, reduce the amount of feta or omit it.

TIP: Rub a garlic clove on the bread after toasting for instant, healthier croutons.

This is one of our family favorites! Although it's pretty low in calories and fat (for fettuccine alfredo), it has plenty of flavor. This looks really good, too, so we make it sometimes when company comes. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

This is the Gumbo my momma taught me to make. I adapted it to make it healthier. Instead of making the 1 cup flour/1cup oil for a rue. The flour is browned in a black iron skillet and I only need about 3 tablespoons of oil to caramalize the onions and cook the other veggies. This is a family favorite. Hope you enjoy.

You can cut/shred all your veggies ahead of time, just be sure to keep potatoes submerged in water once peeled or they will turn brown.

If you have leftover cabbage and carrots, toss them in a bowl with a pinch of salt and use your hands to knead the mixture, similar to making dough. Makes a great low calorie and fat coleslaw-type side dish to a meal.
