I needed to check the calorie count on this recipe which I'd gotten from the internet.

The original recipe called for slightly larger amounts of chickpeas and squash, 8 leaves of mint and a handful of coriander instead of basil and oregano. I began with the amount of squash I'd brought home from the green market and modified the chickpea amount to fit that. I didn't have mint or coriander on hand when I made the recipe, so I made the substitution. The flavor is different but I doubt there's any difference in calorie count.

The cooking time stated is for all prep,cooking the squash, using canned chickpeas.

If you cook the chickpeas from their dried state the cooking time will be longer.

Much healthier than fried zucchini, these crispy little bites make a yummy snack or side dish!

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

This is a spin-off of the Chili's Southwestern Egg rolls. Instead of deep-frying the filling, you put it in a tortilla and make a quesadilla.

This recipe is for chicken chimichangos baked in the oven. It is an easy dish to make and gets high ratings in my house. Compliment this dish with some mexican rice for a nice dinner under 400 calories.

Delicious and easy, this salad combines all of my favorite sushi ingredients in one bowl! And, because it's based on a California roll, it uses fully cooked seafood.

I don't like fish much, but I love this recipe! I think the sauce can be used with other fish/seafood.
