Bread stuffed with a warm chocolatey/cheesy filling. Adapted from Hungry Girl 1-2-3 Recipe Book. The only change I made was swapping out a little cream cheese in place of some of the ricotta.

A yummy comfort food that won't break the calorie bank. Would be good with a salad or just have two servings! I found this recipe on the Hungry Girl site, but modified it a little.

Very Good 4.0/5

This is definitely a BUDGET FRIENDLY recipe. It feeds 4 people for about $2 per diner! Not bad eh?

I like to only eat meat a couple of days per week. I had already planned on two meals with meat as the centerpiece, but also really wanted to make a nice, warm, comforting casserole for dinner!

This recipe uses Texturized Vegetable Protein, which you can find in bulk at any health food store and even Hannaford's! I use it instead of pre-fab meatless grounds because it's MUCH cheaper and has waaaaay less sodium.

Wonton wrappers are, without a doubt, unsung heroes of the guilt-free kitchen. You can do SO much with these little blank slates, and they're easier to work with than you might think.

These are slightly higher calorie wise as I made them with light cream cheese instead of fat free.

This is a spicy little meal that is so easy to make and tastes so good!! I don't know how I did it, but with my ingredients, I slimmed off 100 calories from the hungry girl recipe. I think the key is to find a low calorie chicken sausage. I used Trader Joe's at 100 calories a link!

From the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook
There are some slight tweaks- I don't add the Splenda (1 packet if you want to) or salt (dash) and I use vanilla almond milk instead of light vanilla soy as recommended in the original recipe- but that's a personal product preference. Also, I don't get 5 pancakes, I make 4- but that's just because of the size I make.

My own twist to "Hungry Girls" low calorie alfredo. Using super low calorie tofu noodles, lots of veggies, laughing cow cheese and sour cream this tastes just like alfredo with out the calories. This makes about 4 servings great for a family meal or for batch cooking. The great thing about this recipe is its modification possiblities are endless!

From the Hungry Girl website:

Just like Lady and the Tramp! Well, almost. You can't really do the noodle trick with spaghetti squash... but do you really need to mimic cartoon dogs on a date? Exactly. And you definitely don't need to consume hundreds of extra carby calories when a spaghetti craving hits.

This is my adaptation of the Hungry Girl Baked Kale. I like to experiment with the different spices. You can cut out sodium by using a no salt spice blend (I love Mrs. Dash's chipotle blend), but some days I crave the salt...

HG Pumpkin Fettuccine
Very Good 4.0/5

This is my version of Hungry Girl's Totally PUMPin' Fettuccine. I use the angel hair shaped Shirataki pasta as I like the texture best on it (the fettuccine is too squishy for my tastes). Her recipe calls for light soymilk but I don't usually have that about the house. Subbing that doesn't change the stats much so it's what ever tastes best to you. As always, changing the flavour of the Laughing Cow cheese is fun!

HG Alternative! Not a Tofu Shirataki lover? No problem! Make our Totally PUMPin' Fettuccine with 1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta instead! Here are the stats for that version:

PER SERVING (entire recipe): 265 calories, 3g fat, 614mg sodium, 51g carbs, 6.5g fiber, 7g sugars, 12g protein -- POINTSŪ value 5*

This is pretty much the Hungry Girl tuna casserole. I change it occasionally depending on what I have around the house.
If you don't like the taste (or texture) of the Shirataki noodles you can sub whole wheat pasta (use 1 cup cooked noodles for each package of noodles). If you use whole wheat spaghetti, the calorie count per serving will be about 278 calories per serving.

This is a version of Hungry Girl's Pasta Alfredo. I changed a couple of ingredients but the basic recipe is hers. The longest part of the prep is preparing the noodles. It will not replace a traditional Alfredo sauce but does allow you to enjoy a plate of pasta for under 120 calories!
