Hawaiian Pizza: 'SparkRecipes Un-Chained' Contest Finalist
Very Good 4.4/5

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!

If you have ever been to the Chicago area and had an Italian Roast beef sandwich you know you just can't get something like that in most areas! This recipe comes the closest I've found to that taste. Only real difference is the shredded roast beef instead of shaved.

I came up with this recipe to avoid the processed sauces and to have something always ready in the freezer. The wine is not required but it gives a nice depth to the flavor.

Kim's lowfat jalapeno poppers
Very Good 4.3/5

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

Spring Rolls
Very Good 4.3/5

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

Yummy and quick! My daughter made this recipe for us, and it was a knock-out!! We served the chicken on spaghetti pasta that had been tossed in olive oil, basil, & garlic powder. It was de-lic-ious!
