Tostada means toasted in Spanish, and in this simple recipe, Chef Meg makes a crunchy, crispy, chewy, cheesy tostada using leftovers from her Slow Cooker Provencal Chicken and Beans dish.

A old favorite just got even better!

My family loves to eat pancakes at Perkins and IHOP, but they are so unhealthy. I wanted a pancake that would provide better nutrition, so I developed this recipe instead. This has become a family favorite--even my teenagers love them! They are easy to make and taste so good, they are my "go to" breakfast when we have company.

The original recipes calls these cupcakes. By substituting whole wheat flour, and applesauce for a portion of the white flour and oil, I made them healthier. I also used Splenda instead of sugar. I eliminated the cream cheese icing originally called for and decided to serve these as muffins! My kids love these, even requesting them for birthdays. For special occasions I go back to all white flour and add the icing! Otherwise--they make a great breakfast muffin or snack!

Good as a side dish or dessert, this salad made from fresh fruit is naturally low in fat, saturated fat, and sodium. Plus, it's cholesterol free.

This recipe came from the chicken enchilada recipe I submitted earlier. I didn't need to make that many chicken enchiladas, so I made this up to make a slightly different meal. I used the remaining sauce from the chicken enchilada recipe, then added the remaining chicken and added the chicken broth.
