Completely vegan, this sauce goes well over vegetables, rice and pasta.

Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

This is a yummy Vegetarian pizza meant to be shared between two people and served with a salad of your choice. A nice change from boring old pizza sauce, this pizza uses squash instead...Delicious !

Fabulous split pea soup!! Even the kids love it!

I prepared this recipe before calculating the nutritional information. I was SHOCKED when I learned there was only 90 calories per serving. It seemed far too good to be true - I kept trying to figure out what ingredients I forgot to include in the analysis. The kids absolutely loved it.

This version uses Vegan Un-Cheeze and low carb tortillas for a healthier dish.

Deep fried falafel not in your diet? Try it baked! Baked falafel is still crunchy on the outside and delicious on the inside!

Cookbook creator says: Note from other raters: they don't stick together well. Will try adding some ground flax to help keep it together.

"Vanilla extract" usually isn't made with real vanilla. The good news is that it's really easy--and affordable--to make your own.

My mom gave me this recipe. She eats it daily. It is very tasty! I started losing weight after adding it to my regular diet. Sometimes I add hot sauce to spice it up a bit! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

This is a "veganized" version of a recipe for muffins I found in a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. The nutritional info does not include any add-ins, though I will usually add chocolate chips, raisins or fresh blueberries depending on what the kids are in the mood for.

This soup is filling and low cal. You can add some cooked rice to the soup when you serve to change up the texture.

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

Easy, and healthy if you use less cheese than I did. EXTREMELY tasty! These microwave very well and any leftover sauce can be refrigerated and used later. Sauce and enchiladas can also have jalapenos, chili powder to spice them up or other veggies. I used a couple baby carrots, for color and a little flavor- YUM!!!!!!!!!

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

Try these light and low-fat personal pies for dessert during the fall. They're a great substitute for pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole.

This is a delicious pie that's perfectly safe for vegans.

This is my absolute favorite dish from Ruby Tuesday so I had to find a way to make it over. Its called the smokehouse chicken and it is a favorite by many! This delicious dish is high in fat and calories if ordered from the restaurant so I came up with a healthier, guilt free version that has become a favorite in my household!

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls. They have so much tasty stuff in them, but I hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans and corn and then put them in the broiler for crunch.
These are great made ahead of time and *frozen for a quick meal or a fun snack for the big game. I make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.

This recipe takes a traditional French dish and gives it a California twist. A good portion of the fat comes from the avocado, which has mostly heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.

This recipe serves one, but go ahead and make a few more servings so you'll have leftovers.

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

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.)

Oh, Quesadilla Explosion Salad! How I love you!
I have eaten plenty of these at Chili's and was "Oh so surprised!" to see it listed as #2 on the 10 worst restaurant salads! Number T-O-O! Too much fat, Too many calories, Too many points!

It's a salad! How can it be so bad for you?

Something had to be done! This is my response. I have also created recipes for the various ingredients used in this salad. They are named as they appear in the list of ingredients. Feel free to use them or your own. Beware the nutrition data of this salad will change if you use another version.

Y-U-M-M-Y........one of my favorites at PF Chang's....the Soothing Chicken Lettuce Wraps!!! I've made them here with extra lean turkey, but you could easily substitute ground chicken or tofu for the turkey and add any vegetables of your choice. This recipe will leave you saying...."PF who???"

This is a very easy dish. The fat and calories can be lowered even further with low fat sour cream, cheese and soup. Ground turkey would work well.
