Delicious chickpea spread

Submitted by CHEFCHIP

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.

Even my hubby loves this recipe. I try to keep it on hand for quick lunches and easy dinners. It's great on toasted bread with soy cheese and a big tomato slice.

I got the idea for this recipe from the Hungry Girl 200 reciepes for under 200 cal cookbook, just substituting chicken for tilapia. It was soooo good and takes care of the BBQ and sweet cravings in one shot. My kids even loved it. Hey, it got a picky three year old to eat...

When I visited my first husband's family in Mexico, my mother-in-law made this, and I had to have the recipe. It is a staple recipe still in my household.

Cookbook creator says: My husband liked this quite a bit. I added some tomatillo salsa to give it a kick!

Original recipe calls for regular breakfast sausage, such as Jimmy Dean. But I found this substitute to taste just as good and much less fat and healthier. A great grab and go breakfast. Make ahead and wrap individually in the refridge, micro for 30 seconds on high and go!!

This recipe is easy, delicious, and authentically caribbean. Throw all ingredients in the crockpot and go. Tastes great with rice and a side of steamed cabbage.

Very filling and tasty chicken and potatoes with gravy meal. Serves great with a green salad on the side.
You can make this even healthier by using a reduced fat cheese and low sodium soup.

A great dip for chopped vegetables or pita wedges.

This apple crisp is sweet and simple to prepare, but uses very little added sugar.

Submitted by JLCROMP

A low calorie, low fat yummy muffin with chunks of apple. These are really sweet so you may want to decrease the amount of Splenda.

You've decided to make some hummus or goddess dressing, only to find you're out of tahini. Rats!
Making your own tahini is very easy. You control the oil and ingredients. Just keep sesame seeds in your freezer, and you'll be good to go at a moment's notice.

I started making these for my children when they were very young (and wanted to know what exactly I was putting in their mouths). Now they are a family favorite and a working mom's delight.

They have more calories than frozen waffles, but they are packed with good nutrition and keep you full until noon.These are great when made ahead of time. They are very dense pancakes and because they are so dense you can pop them into the toaster to warm up like an eggo. Simply wait until they cool and freeze them or seal them in a container for the fridge. They last about a week in the fridge.

I use oat milk because I am a vegetarian and want more protein than soy or rice milk can provide. However, I have used all the milks (including dairy) and they work fine. The calorie calculation is done with oat milk and brown sugar included in the recipe. Values will change depending on the milk you use and if you add the brown sugar or not.

Serving Ideas: Serve with fresh fruit or sugar free maple syrup.

This is tasty low-calorie fare, which can be served as either the main course or the side dish. Substitute light mayonnaise to reduce calories further.

Who can resist thick, creamy decadent cheesecake? Try this low-fat version in the single serving size.

It's so easy to make your own taco seasoning mix and tastes so much better that premixes.

Imitation Crab Cakes

Submitted by TIME4JUDI

This Asian-inspired pasta dish is so good and so quick to make and can be served hot or cold. Add some tofu for another healthy option.

Maybe I should have called this my "Summer Farmers Market Pasta." It's full of the vegetables I brought home from the farmers market on Saturday. Like many of my recipes, it can be altered based on what you've got on hand. I almost threw in some Swiss chard (my green of choice these days) and some brilliant yellow crookneck squash, but I decided to save those for another day and another dish.

Submitted by SP_STEPF

Butternut squash helps slim down this macaroni and cheese. You can't taste it, and it boosts the nutritional value of the dish!

Submitted by SP_STEPF

Make 2 dozen, can be mixed and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. I bake 6 at a time so we can have fresh muffins for a few days. I add whatever fruit is in season, like blueberries, raspberries or strawberries in the summer, and bananas or raisins in the winter.

Submitted by SALKLINE

This is an easy breakfast that you can make the night before or the same day. This oatmeal is a favorite with children. You can substitute raisins for chopped apples and walnuts or dried cranberries. Very tasty.

Makes a delicious steak - a little bit sweet, a little bit spicy.

Submitted by BDANYA

The original recipe says to do this over a grill, which I think would be fantastic. However, apartment living doesn't always allow that. I throw it in the oven for a while until the outsides have turned dark and the inside is a perfect medium.
