Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal.

An aromatic, filling dish that freezes well - I love this risotto but have halved the portion size since my gastric bypass.

I usually eat it with a small green side salad.

Garlic lovers, rejoice! This recipe contains a whopping two heads, but the flavor mellows and sweetens when baked.

Try our zesty take on this dinner table tradition.

Chef Meg added flavor with parsley and capers to cut the salt, reduced the cooking time and used hearty plum tomatoes instead of canned.

This is my alternative to fried rice which uses no oil!

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!

I don't like fish much, but I love this recipe! I think the sauce can be used with other fish/seafood.

After the pasta and onion are sautéed, the oil is drained to minimize the fat content of this interesting pilaf.

These sophisticated popped are stuffed with creamy Gouda cheese, a bit of bacon, and tomatoes.

A kickin' vegetarian pizza! Extra-good, 'cause it's made on a whole wheat crust!

This tomato soup is so rich and thick you'll swear it's laden with cream and butter. The trick is really good tomatoes.

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.)
