Incredible! 5.0/5

The original recipe is for the yogurt/cool whip combo frozen in a prepared graham cracker crust. I prefer single serving size, so I put the yogurt combo in mini-muffin pans and stick an animal cookie "handle" in each one.

SP_Stepf's Baked Veggie Burritos
Very Good 4.3/5

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

Yatsobi (Beef, Cabbage and Ramen Noodle Stir-Fry)
Very Good 4.2/5

This is the best recipe. We love it. I usually leave out the bacon in the interest of calories and it is fine. Recipe and photo was originally on recipezaar.com by Nimz~. NOte: the sodium content looks really high, but you don't use the seasoning packet in the ramen noodles, so it is actually much lower than stated.
Nutritional information does not include bacon.
