When the veggies are bountiful, instead of using them all up at once, or freezing large amounts of them, divide them into 1 cup portions and throw them into a large ziplock bag along with some left over chicken or even beef (if using beef, use beef broth).

I love this stew! It is so easy and leaves me feeling satisfied. I use 3/4 cup as a serving. If it is too spicy for you, substitute a can of diced tomatoes for one of the diced tomatoes w/chilies.

This is the basic recipe for Cake in a Cup when you are short on time and desperately need a chocolate fix. You can make this healthier by using a sugar substitute, using apple sauce instead of oil, and whole wheat flour instead of white.

This is seriously the world's best spinach and artichoke dip! It's creamy and fairly low fat. I use low fat cream cheese, but you could use fat free. This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it! This can also become a decadent pasta sauce. (As a sauce, it makes 10 servings. You might need to thin it a bit with cooking water from the pasta.)

Easy crock pot meal. Tastes great over brown rice (not included in calorie count).

Try a two for one: The next time you are turning on the oven to 375 degrees, roast the squash, cool it slightly, peel and package to freeze. You'll have butternut squash on hand whenever you need it, and you can have dinner on the table in no time!

A heart-healthy one-dish meal that is made with lean top round beef, lots of vegetables, and a spicy, herb mixture.

A crispy fried meatball, filled with cream cheese and sausage. This is Grandma's recipe made lighter. Tasty and rich. This is a lighter version using neufchatel instead of regular cream cheese. The sauerkraut helps the calorie count. At about 60 calories each, they are about like eating a cookie, but so much better! Makes about 11 dozen, 1 inch balls. A lot of work, but worth it for special occasions. We make them at Christmas and eat them through the New Year.
