Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

The tasty combination of spinach and pears will keep you away from boring salads forever.

This citrusy rice contains almonds, celery, and onions, but no added salt for a flavorful low sodium side dish.

This quick Southern dish contains no added fat and very little added salt in its spicy tomato sauce.

This is seriously the world's best spinach and artichoke dip! It's creamy and fairly low fat. I use low fat cream cheese, but you could use fat free. This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it! This can also become a decadent pasta sauce. (As a sauce, it makes 10 servings. You might need to thin it a bit with cooking water from the pasta.)

Cool, refreshing, and great for you!

"This is one of my favorites because it is easy, fast and simple and versatile. If you like brown rice, I recommend using it in this and all recipes. It takes a bit longer to cook but is worth the wait, for both nutrition and taste. There is an instant brown rice on the market now, too."

A yummy way to cut the calories, not the tradition.

Cookbook creator says: Here's what I do to make this spectacular: add a couple of Tablespoons of dry sherry, a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg and thicken it with a cup of Greek NF yogurt at the end, instead of flour. Better for you and added calcium!

I added Red,Green,Yellow Pepper/Onion blended veggies and put it all in the slow cooker, then shredded the flank steak. Will definitely make again.

This is a light, refreshing salsa that is great with baked tortillas and awesome as a topping on fish, poultry or pork!

A lower fat version of everyone's favorite- prep and bake in less than 25 minutes!

Cookbook creator says: Suggestion: try white whole wheat flour. It uses soft wheat instead of hard and can be used in larger quantities in this sort of recipe. King Arthur is a brand I've found in Illinois and Ohio.
This looks far better than the packaged biscuit mix family uses and that I've never been fond of.

This makes an easy weekend brunch or quick breakfast.

Cookbook creator says: Just going to add a secret to boiling potatoes without making them watery. An English method. Boil spuds in water with skins on for 10 minutes. Empty out all the water and put back on heat at low setting covered. The moisture in the spuds will steam them. Steam till tender..about 20 minutes or so.

Cookbook creator says: I made these, used real brown sugar, only 1/2 cup, and 1% milk, and only 1/2 c. of choc. chips. Chips were 60% cacao and the cocoa powder was hersehy's dark. I made 15 muffins, which, with the changes I made, came out to 119 per muffin. They were very good! Dense, moist, dark chocolate, not too swee

Cookbook creator says: Absolutely fantastic! I subbed beef broth for water, brown sugar for white, doubled the gravy, diced the onions and cabbage, and added two, sliced, red apples 25 minutes before removing the mixture from heat. I also boiled some potatoes separately and added them into the final mixture.

Make this chicken the next you have company for dinner, and they'll swear you hired caterers. It tastes like it came from a restaurant, but for much less money and effort.
