This is something that was a hit with my hubby and 3 year old. I took some stuff we had and put it together (I was craving cabbage) I also used low-sodium cream of mushroom soup when I made it, but for the recipe, put down regular (as I think it would help with flavoring)
You may want more or less salt and pepper for taste.

slice chicken breast to make a pocket.

mix together goat cheese, garlic (minced), and rosemary.

stuff chicken breast with goat cheese mixture. bake at 375 for around 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees in the thickest part of the meat (not the stuffing temp). Let rest for 10 minutes to allow chicken to come up to temperature (165) and retain its moisture.

Butternut squash helps slim down this macaroni and cheese. You can't taste it, and it boosts the nutritional value of the dish!

Lowfat Butternut Squash Casserole! YUMMY!

Submitted by SHARP1S

I won't lie this recipe is involved, but it is worth every bit of the effort! My best friend and I came up with this and our families request it once a week.
And the leftovers (when there are any!) are just as good!
You can adjust the spice to suit your taste by adding or removing jalapenos and purchasing spicy green enchilada sauce or mild.
I've also tried everything I can think of to reduce the sodium in this recipe but this is about it. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!

I got this from the Fix It and Forget It Lightly cookbook. It calls for any diet soda. I actually used Diet Dr. Pepper. I used Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce. Finally, I'm not an onion person, so I skipped them--and used minced onion instead. It was ABSOLUTELY delicious! The only hard part is eating JUST ONE SERVING!

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls. They have so much tasty stuff in them, but I hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans and corn and then put them in the broiler for crunch.
These are great made ahead of time and *frozen for a quick meal or a fun snack for the big game. I make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.

This is an easy to prepare basic spaghetti sauce. It is easy to add veggies or meats as you desire. And it's much healthier than the store-bought jars! Be sure to look for cans of whole tomatoes and tomato paste with no added salt.

(Comparison - Most store-bought sauces have 80+ calories and 400+ mg sodium in a 1/2 cup serving. This sauce has 75 calories and 300 mg of sodium in 1 cup serving!)
