Technically this is a crustless quiche, but the addition of flour makes for a delicious crusty bottom and sides.

A yummy way to cut the calories, not the tradition.

This dish inspired by Costa Rican spices seems exotic, but it uses spices and ingredients you already have around the house: coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. You'll wonder why you've been relegating these flavorings to dessert!

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

Green Beans add color - you may choose your own veggie. I LIKE this over PASTA. If you prefer rice or noodles, then you can do that too. Just change the nutritional info to match.

Fritters are typically fried; these are baked to cut the fat. Just about anything can become fritterish; all you need is something to hold it together, such as egg, breadcrumbs, and/or mashed beans. This one has all three.
