Chicken breast simmered with onion, bell pepper, soy sauce and spices makes a rich pepper steak-style gravy. (I cut back on the soy sauce). If you like the taste of pepper steak, but don't enjoy red meat, try it with chicken!!

The recipe calls for fresh tomatoes, which will change the calories. I prefer sun dried tomatoes.

Cookbook creator says: My Chili Recipe, that I made healthier by changing Beef for turkey. My family loved it with the beef, and they still love it with the turkey. A mild in the heat catergory, you could up the heat with a little cayenne or you could easily add a serano or chipotle in Adobe sauce for added heat.

Our new favorite taco salad. I add some spices to the ground turkey when browning. I skip cheese & any other condiments, except for salsa & dressing. The lime dressing is VERY limey - so it's not for everyone, but I love it!

An elegant entree of tuna, bathed in an herb-infused white wine sauce, served on a bed of couscous.

This is the Gumbo my momma taught me to make. I adapted it to make it healthier. Instead of making the 1 cup flour/1cup oil for a rue. The flour is browned in a black iron skillet and I only need about 3 tablespoons of oil to caramalize the onions and cook the other veggies. This is a family favorite. Hope you enjoy.

Adapted from healthdiscovery.net recipes. I added Grape nuts for a little crunchy "crust," and have made this less sweet than the original recipe. I've also put the spice proportions that I like, and have used real eggs instead of egg beaters. Substitute 1/2 cup of egg substitute or egg whites if you don't want to use the whole eggs.

Tapenade is a traditional sauce or condiment from Provence, in the south of France. It adds a punch of flavor for very few calories. You can buy premade tapenade, but you'll spend more money and be consuming more sodium than if you made it at home.
