Cookbook creator says: This is a great recipe for diabetics--absolutely delicious! I cut the asparagus into 3" tips & chopped the stems; skipped the salt; & steamed rather than boiled them, in a steamer bag. I'd add sliced mushrooms next time, & maybe some chopped pimiento (for color).

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

Using brown rice will give you lasting energy.

Cook the barley ahead of time and refrigerate or use quick cooking barley to cut preparation time.

This is *not* low sodium--next time, I'll leave the sausages out altogether, and either find canned tomatoes in a more reasonable range, or use fresh--but it is about as low-carb and low-fat as I know how to make it. (I usually only have it on holidays.)

This soup was out of this world good. I used half and half instead of heavy cream and a minimal amount of butter. It is delicious cold or hot.

Recipe provided by Eatingwell.com
Instead of batter-dipped, deep-fried nuggets, we coat chicken tenders in a seasoned almond and whole-wheat flour crust and then oven-fry them to perfection. With half the fat of standard breaded chicken tenders, you can enjoy to your (healthy) heart’s content.

easy to make nice side dish

Serve this on top of a bed of brown rice.

This is a lighter take on the classic Italian preparation of Chicken Cacciatore (or Chicken Hunter Style). Our made-over version uses white meat rather than dark and less oil to cut almost 60 calories per serving and reduce the fat and sodium of the traditional recipe.

Great basic recipe, I like to add onion & garlic powder to mine before adding the water.

Who can resist thick, creamy decadent cheesecake? Try this low-fat version in the single serving size.

I would make this with Splenda and Splenda brown sugar (or equivalent) but haven't been able to figure out the conversions yet . . .

For a snack or dessert, they're good!

Using low-fat milk instead of cream lowers the saturated fat content in this hearty summer soup.

These add a hearty side to any meal.

The same great taste of the Italian favorite, but this one is good for you!
