Yummy twist to mexican corn bread

Submitted by LUULUU11

You can change any of the meat or vegetables for something you have on hand. If your vegetables are drier than the corn, you may to add another cup of milk.

Delicious recipe from my mom's ol' file.
Calculated nutritional values online: thanks SparkPeople for helping me keep this childhood 'memory' in my food list!

All the flavor.... none of the guilt!

I love broccoli crunch salad, but have loathed the 400 calories per cup of some of my favorites. I've tried multiple times unsuccessfully to create a healthier version that still tastes like my favorite and that helps me enjoy eating these cruciferous powerhouses without the payback. I think I have finally got it.

Kudos to LIBRARYCAT for the initial recipe I found on Sparkrecipes that led me in the right direction. I still wanted something with less calories and sugars. . .and a bigger portion.

Have fun!

All vegetables in a very yummy soup. It can be used as a vegetable side dish if you drain all the juice out of it.

Yummy gingerbread oatmeal for the holidays! Feel free to lessen the amount of spices for a milder flavour, or even use Torani sugar-free ginerbread syrup instead for no extra calories and all the good gingerbread flavour.

*Modified from a recipe I once read, which used molasses, sugar, and whole milk, for my personal low-cal sugar-free dietary desires.

This is the most basic of the spreads. You can find a variation of this recipe in almost any grocery store, but 95 percent of them are made with either olive oil or tahini (sesame paste), which pushes up the fat content. Your best bet is to take three minutes and make a batch on Sunday that will last you for the week.

Picadillo is a traditional beef taco filling that makes a terrific complement to potatoes, beans, and/or rice. Think of it as a cute little burrito.
We've simplified the recipe to create a healthy E2 version.

Our very own Station 2 won the 2003 Austin Fire Department’s Healthy Wagon Contest with this very healthful and tasty lunch/dinner wrap. The judges included three experts—the Fire Department’s in-house health specialist, a local representative from the American Heart Association, and a member of the Mayor’s Council for Physical Fitness.
The department also sponsored an awards presentation at which we received a little red wagon, a healthy low-fat cookbook, a salad spinner, and fifty dollars to use for a future healthy wagon.
This wrap also makes an excellent dinner.

If you put a little less filling on each wrapper, calories are going to be less or can have more stickers

Adapted from a Betty Crocker recipe both for nutritional content and personal taste. The original recipe equaled 255 calories and 17 grams of fat. My changes have nearly halved that.

This is a great mexican dish for those who are craving fatty, bad for you food, minus the guilt trip.

Yogurt instead of sour cream, and good for you salmon are key factors!

Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

This soups works well with most vegetables from the garden-- experiment and use vegetables that are in season. Chef Meg was inspired to create this meal after a trip to the farmers market. Be creative and use whatever vegetables you have on hand!
