Recipes in this Collection

(no ratings) Minted Cantaloupe Soup Excellent source of Vitamins A and C. Cool and refreshing summer soup that you can prepare a day ahead of time. Actual time spent preparing is way less than 25 minutes. Use the down time to read, do some crunches, whatever! For a change of pace, substitute basil for the mint or substitute 3 cups peaches, 1 cup strawberries for the cantalope. (I forgot to save a sprig of mint for garnish so I plunked a sprig of cilantro on top for the recipe photo) Submitted by HSBINMD Carbs: 34.3g \| Fat: 0g \| Fiber: 1g \| Protein: 0g \| Calories: 117.3	Very Good 4.7/5 (3 ratings) Cool Cucumber Soup Cookbook creator says: Made 6 1 cup servings instead of the 4 indicated. Used Horizon fat free plain yogurt. Peeled but not seed cucumber. Served in large martini glass. Contrast of red and green was awesome Submitted by CUTTER88 Carbs: 20.6g \| Fat: 5.6g \| Fiber: 1.6g \| Protein: 11.3g \| Calories: 174
(no ratings) Green Chili Pepper and Summer Squash Soup Cookbook creator says: Calories listed are inconsistent with breakdown by food. Breakdown by food says that there are 176 calories per serving.

Very Good 4.2/5 (188 ratings) Herbed Bulgur and Lentil Salad This recipe is part of "The SparkPeople Cookbook." Order your copy today! This salad is even better the longer it sits in the fridge, so we love to make a big batch of it and eat it throughout the week. Submitted by CHEF_MEG Carbs: 21g \| Fat: 7.1g \| Fiber: 5.7g \| Protein: 4.8g \| Calories: 159.2	(no ratings) Red Bliss Potatoes with Garlic and Green Beans It sounds like an insane amount of garlic for any vegetable dish. It isn't. The garlic gets roasted and becomes very sweet. You can adjust cooking times if you like your vegetables less crisp.
