I used to make this for my Dad as a kid and he loved it. It's so easy and quick - especially if using leftovers and quick-cooking rice. You don't have to stick to exact amounts and you can throw in extra veggies or sub chicken for the turkey.

Have you ever had that wonderful white trash taco salad made with Doritos, taco meat, tons of cheese and an entire bottle of Catalina/French dressing? Oh yeah, I believe there may be some lettuce in there also. I personally love the stuff but DON’T love the calorie count (I calculated it at over 1,000 calories per serving!!). I prefer to splurge on dessert and tend to choose healthier options for my meals.

Well, I don’t see why I can’t have my cake and eat it too, so I took that atrocity of a “salad” and turned it into something I could feel good about eating on what is now almost a weekly basis. It has become one of my favorite go-to meals b/c it’s easy and so tasty. Plus, I like big portion sizes and the bulk of the lettuce allows you to get a big plateful for about half the fat and calories of the original recipe. Now that’s what I’m talkin' 'bout.

These tasty burritos are fast enough to make after even the busiest of days...and are great with a green salad on the side...I find they really are best with the smoky, yet robust, flavor of Ancho chili powder, but any will do fine...just adjust the amount as necessary to counteract a potential SU-heat overdose...

Comfort food like mom used to make, only better for you!

Meatloaf made with lean ground turkey can tend to be dry and mealy. The shredded zuchinni in this recipe not only adds nutritional value, but moistness and tenderness. Using instant oatmeal (vs. regular or quick oatmeal) also helps ensure a more tender, uniform texture.

This recipe makes two medium-sized meatloaves. Serve one hot out of the oven and freeze one for later.

First time I've made this since joining Spark, so I had to run it through for the nutrition info. DH loves this version. I usually serve it with a baked potato and either a side veggie or a salad.

This is a Weight Watchers recipe that I thought looked great so I pulled it over here and adjusted a little bit.

Very fresh and tangy. You may use fish other than fish sticks, and lower calorie cheese. You might also be able to substitute flour tortillas or even whole-wheat tortillas. Measurements are approximate. Makes a huge batch.
