An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.

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!

make it for a topping and use immediately. The times estimate 1 min. for measuring and the other 4 Min's. to stir it. Approximately. It lasts long enough to make it and then serve it with whatever. It is not intended as a sauce to put aside for later.

This is a cake-type cobbler. You can use any fruit, fresh or frozen. My favorites are peaches, berries, and-- on the rare occasions when I can find them-- sour cherries. This is adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe, but I've made so many changes, about all that's left is part of the technique.

A single serving = less temptation! Really good sized brownie with no added fat or refined sugars. Cook in your toaster oven and have dessert in less than 30 min. :D

You can nix the protein powder and just add another tbs of flour, too. The brownie/cake thingie is softer and more fudgy with the protein powder. It stays sort of creamy and moist in the middle - more like flourless cakes. The version without the protein is more a dense brownie with a normal crumb.

While Chicken Parmesan is traditionally fried, this lighter version is delightful atop a hearty green salad.

This delicious quick bread is somewhere between sweet and savory and contains only 3g of added sugar per serving, as opposed to 13-20 grams of refined sugars in similar quick breads. Practically any puréed fruit can substitute for the pears; unsweeted applesauce, apricots, or even plums would work well!
