This is my favorite chili. You can add more water or have less water depending on the desired thickness. I typically don't use the flour that comes in the package, so this recipe didn't include it. Also, I use dry kidney beans instead of canned, so there may be a difference in nutritional value when using canned beans. If using dry beans, you need to soak overnight.

I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

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...

Cookbook creator says: use great value sugar free sugar, use blueberries, all fat free cream cheese or use fresh strawberries with syrup

This is a Great Any Time Cake. You can change the filling as you like. (Some examples: pineapple & coconut or blueberry and lemon or strawberry's & chocolate chips or apple and raisins etc, use your imagination)

I first thought this a strange combination when I saw this on the menu on an Alaskan Cruise. The head waiter told me to try it; that I wouldn't be dissapointed. True enough, it was amazing! The cruise ship didn't have the recipe in their cookbook, but I found a similar one easily enough online. This is now one of my family's favorites.

very moist muffins and not too tangy

Heres a little recipe I worked out, and Sweet Potatoes are full of vitamin A! These sweet potato or yam muffins have less than 100 calories each and less than a half a gram of fat each! They come out to just under 1 gram of sugar each, but i use no sugar in them so these are naturally occuring. By the way no these are not "mini-muffins"! Feel free to use regular muffins tins like I did... They are a great harmless snack or breakfast addition. To get your vitamin A be sure to pair it with a healthy dietary fat (we need fat to absorb the A) - breakfast with 1 ounce of reduced fat cheese and a piece of fruit is great! So low cal you can mix and match often- and made with whole wheat flour- so you are getting your healthy whole grains and their awesome antioxidants! Enjoy!
*Don't be scared of the prep time- its just for boiling sweet potatoes. I forgot to add the temperature before but I included it now: 425 F. (its in the recipe text now too) Let them cool completely! Even chilled in the fridge helps them to "set".

Blueberry Pie is topped with a crumb topping in this simple recipe. This is the best blueberry pie that any of my family has ever had. I have not included the crumb topping in the calorie count. We use gluten free topping and I wanted to have a calorie count without the topping.

Great tasting and Healthy alternative to fries.

This is a makeover of Ruby Tuesdays Carolina Chicken Salad, with a calorie intake at over 1,000, is no way for any American to eat, there has to be a better way.
I chose to add flavorful, healthier ingredients to pack this "3C Salad" with character, class, and crunch. 3C Salad is quickly becoming a family favorite for lunch.

Delicious muffins that are great to take to a potluck or have in the house for breakfast. The hard part is eating just a few, so make sure you have other people around! This is slightly modified from thepioneerwomancooks.com (no brown sugar/OJ glaze and plus cranberries).

So moist and full of chocolatey goodness. You'll be amazed this is loaded with zucchni. It adds moistness that is a wonderful balance to the chocolate punch of the dark cocoa powder and 2 types of chocolate chips.

This recipe takes a traditional French dish and gives it a California twist. A good portion of the fat comes from the avocado, which has mostly heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

This recipe serves one, but go ahead and make a few more servings so you'll have leftovers.
