When the craving for chocolate hits, try this Chocolate-Cinnamon Bread Pudding. The warm melted chocolate makes it a definite comfort food, while the whole wheat bread and evaporated skim milk adds to its nutritional punch.

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!

Quinoa is similar to brown rice, with a higher protein content. This is a delicious side dish or light meal.

Think you dislike beets? Not after trying this recipe! Roasting brings out the beets' natural sweetness, and the feta offers a nice, salty contrast.

I love this as my main dish but you can add some grilled chicken if you just can't live without meat! It makes great leftovers to take to work for lunch too.

These moist pancakes are lightly spiced for the palate of my young child. If you like a bit more pizazz, you can increase the spices or add others. Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice both work nicely here.
