I didn't figure tortillas into the calorie count, so that you can choose whether to use corn, flour, or whole wheat. This is from the book "Lean, Luscious and Meatless," but I used lime juice instead of orange juice, as the authors suggested.

This is such a hearty savory soup--and it's vegan! The color alone should win you over. By roasting the vegetables you get a sweet smoky smell and taste.

Large enough for two people (120 calories each)- or a filling "meal" for one... My family loves these. A great way to get your protein, dairy and fruit in one serving-- very filling! Even a friend who doesn't like cottage cheese loves this!

Tired of the same old red sauce from a jar? Try this instead.

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.

Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

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.

Submitted by CHEF_MEG

Use this to dress your salad or as a dipping sauce for cut vegetables. Don't like cilantro? No problem, just swap it out for Italian parsley or dill.
