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

My dip has all the flavor of the original, but it's much easier on the waistline. I prefer to eat this "dip" with a fork or raw vegetables.

Cookbook creator says: These are Great! Yes, they're dense, even with the pastry flour, and I couldn't find pineapple concentrate, they tell me it's 'discontinued' here; but the honey, orange j concentrate I substituted, and all the other ingredients made it smell and taste terrific! A keeper!

Calcium, protein, and vitamin packed, this quick snack will not leave you hungry.

A tempting dish that will delight all who consume it.

This recipe is scripture in the kitchen at my store - versitile, healthy, lightly sweet, very filling, and of course tasty. Here I've put the default version, Blueberry Walnut, but you can substitute the blueberries for any fruit your healthy heart desires, and the walnuts can be substituted for raisins, chocolate chips, dates, etc. etc.

Ideas:
Raspberry Chocolate-Chip
Blackberry Fig
Orange almond raisin
Apple ginger walnut

JUST. GO. WILD.

Wonder Muffin's exil twin! That same awesome bran flax base with a whole new set of fruits and veggies.

Heres a tip - if your pears are overripe you'll want to mash them. If you have firm crispy pears like Green Anjou or Bosc dice them up and add an extra 1/4 c. of milk.

Low-fat, low-calorie and low-cholesterol make this combo appetizer awesome! Use fresh produce for best flavor. Bruschetta is an appetizer typically made with a dense Italian bread, which is toasted and served with fresh toppings. Make the Pillsbury French Bread first, cool completely and then slice and toast for a simple and healthier substitute to use as foundation for the Bruschetta.

Cookbook creator says: Try this without the cream and without the chicken skin; the broth should balance the flavor nicely without adding fat.

These add a hearty side to any meal.

These burgers are spiced to perfection. To make them even spicier, you could melt jalapeno soy cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.

Cookbook creator says: SERVING SIZE IS 3/4 CUP, NOT 1/4!!!

Cookbook creator says: use less (2-3 tbsp) flour, see top three comments for different/more spices

This roasted chicken gets its sticky coating from the juices it releases while being baked.

Cookbook creator says: This was VERY good, the dish was delicious! We Doubled all ingredients, and had a hard time making four servings if they were actually supposed to be 1&1/2 cups each. After doubling, we split it into two 2 cup servings. About half a cup remained, which we split also. Use plain Brown Rice! YUM !

Tapenade is a traditional sauce or condiment from Provence, in the south of France. It adds a punch of flavor for very few calories. You can buy premade tapenade, but you'll spend more money and be consuming more sodium than if you made it at home.
