Sometimes the simplest things are the most enjoyable. This dish is very high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C and has good amounts of copper and magnesium! Warning: The cashews contribute nearly half the calories.

Almonds or peanuts would work too and ff you want you could jazz it up a bit with a little freshly grated ginger and a shake of chili pepper flakes.

Cookbook creator says: Made this to have at Thanksgiving. Everyone liked it, I used the pre-cooked Kirkland bacon from Costco, and only used around 7 or 8 sliced bit it was still really good, and that bacon has way less cal/fat and sodium than real bacon with all the taste.

Cookbook creator says: These were fabulous! Really, better than fries! I will use only about half a teaspoon of salt next time and add more after cooking if any one wants.

"This is a great autumn or winter side dish, especially for those who like things sweet and salty. The colors are beautiful and make a nice autumn presentation."

You can have your cake and eat it too. This is a yummy loaded potato dish and the only "diet" food is the butter. At just over 200 calories it is a wonderful comfort food and goes excellent with my 4 ounce filet mignon with no bacon.

As everyone who has a garden knows, having one zucchini plant provides enough zucchini to end world hunger! I'm always looking for new ways to utilize them. I came up with this in a moment of desperation!

My father's grandparents on both sides were from Austria and he grew up with many traditional German and Austrian dishes and a love for cooked cabbage in various forms. This love he passed on to me and I'm delighted to present his sweet and sour red cabbage recipe.

This easy and tasty risotto makes a nice winter supper. I'd serve it with a salad made of raddicchio, endive, celery, and a few sliced Kalamata olives.

This is a recipe that I got off one of the Weight Watcher's free handouts and decided to share. It was very good and relatively easy to make. I didnt add the parmesan cheese (I forgot) but the dish missed nothing by not having it. I used it as a side with a small pork chop I cooked up and it went perfectly.

Nothing satisfies like potatoes, especially these crunchy, browned, herb-crusted potato wedges. They're great with ketchup, fat-free sour cream, or all by themselves!

This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.

You make your own croutons in this recipe, much healthier than most store-bought fried varieties.

This is a nice spinach salad with oranges and almonds and the sweet-sesame dressing can be used as a great dip for raw veggies, spring rolls, and dumplings. The calories will be less if you use low-sodium soy sauce but they didn't have that listed.

This is so easy & makes for a festive dish, especially during the holidays! It's great by itself if you're a vegetarian - the couscous provides 8g protein plus complex carbs. But it also works well as a side dish if you're serving meat or other items. Tastes great even at room temp or cold.

The point of this coleslaw is to use a small amount of dressing, which is made from low-fat/low-calorie ingredients. It's light and refreshing, and because it is low calorie, I can eat a ton of it and feel full and satisfied!
