Faster, cheaper and just as rich and delicious but so much more healthy than the restaurant versions. Try substituting the unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze almond milk for a chocolately treat.

A great party dip that all my friends ask for everytime we have a cook out or party!

Submitted by ELAINEHN

Serve this delicious dip with low carb vegetables like green pepper strips, celery sticks, and cucumber slices.

My favorite Mexican restaurant serves a guacamole that's heavy on vegetables--and flavor. To slim it down even more, serve with carrots, celery and cucumber slices.

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.

Chicken that's easy to make and low calorie.

Submitted by KAMEL622

This recipe makes quite a bit, so you can take half of the remaining chicken mixture and sauce and make soup. See "sour cream chicken enchilada soup" that I also submitted.

Submitted by SKEYDOO

This roasted chicken gets its sticky coating from the juices it releases while being baked.

A much quicker version of the Italian classic; less time, but no less taste.

Submitted by VEGGIEKITTY

This is an idea I got after eating out at a Greek Restaurant...I was trying to incorporate the ingredients of Spanakopita without using the pastry...

Submitted by LONGWINDINGROAD

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.
