These spicy and moist pork chops are made with no added fat, egg whites, evaporated skim milk, and a lively herb mixture.

Mix it up and serve as a pepper stuffing or roll up in a tortilla. Vary extra spices according to taste. I rinse the beans before added to lower the sodium content.

If you're Canadian you've probably enjoyed a Tim Horton's Ice Cappucino (a.k.a. "Ice Cap") drink and then felt guilty about all of the carbs and calories after the fact. It took some tinkering, but I've managed to reproduce the taste without the guilt.

This recipe was reproduced in Canada's National Post newspaper some years back.

I strongly recommend adding a protein to this dish. If you are, add protein while still hot. The salad works well with grilled fish or shrimp, or grilled pork.

This recipe is for 3 loaves of bread, 2 for the week and one to freeze. It is meant to be made with a stand mixer, but you don't need one. This has more good fat and fiber than most recipes.

This recipe is best for sandwiches, toast, french toast, dinner rolls, and sub rolls (adjust sizes).

This bread is dense, filling and good for you! You can add some wheat gluten to make it rise a little more and make it a little less dense.

I got this from the Fix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. It calls for any diet soda. I actually used Diet Dr. Pepper. I used Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. Finally, I'm not an onion person, so I skipped them--and used minced onion instead. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious! The only hard part is eating JUST ONE SERVING!

The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

This recipe was adapted from my favorite recipe for Mexican rice, but since I'm not eating white rice anymore, I figured why not attempt it with a healthier grain? I'm glad I did, because it turned out awesome!

*Just a note, the preparation does involve a food processor, but you can always use a blender.

*Also, if you have some kind of oven-proof saucepan, use that for the whole stove-top preparation to avoid pouring the hot mixture into an oven-safe dish. I need to get one for myself, pronto!

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

This is a very basic tuna salad to use for sandwiches or to top a green salad. Milk replaces part of the mayo to reduce the fat and sodium content slightly. We like a lot of green onion, but you can add more celery to give it body and 'crunch' if you want.
