My favorite dish at a local Mexican restaurant is their Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce. I had to try and find a way to lower the fat and sodium so I could enjoy these without the guilt! I tweaked that recipe a bit to lower the sodium and fat, and came up with a winner! My husband and teen daughter gobble these up!

The Tabouli recipe is a healthful and delicious Mediterranean food recipe prepared with quinoa, mint, garlic, tomatoes, green onions, olive oil and lemon. An excellent picnic food idea, it tastes great chilled or at room temperature.

The original recipe used 2c cracked wheat soaked for 30 min in hot water then wrung out and added into the salad. I added the quinoa instead.

I love this Hummus! I used to dip my veggies in honey mustard dressing, (way too many calories) This is almost half the calories.

A healthy alternative to an American favorite.

Needed to use up a bag of potatoes and thought this might freeze well.

This recipe is so easy. The roast falls off the bone and is so tender. Served with steamed veggies, it makes as excellent entree for dinner. It also is very good to freeze. I can't take all the credit for this recipe, my sister made it for me when I visited her once.

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

My mom gave me this recipe. She eats it daily. It is very tasty! I started losing weight after adding it to my regular diet. Sometimes I add hot sauce to spice it up a bit! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I don't add these, but the recipe also calls for 1 tsp sesame seed oil, 1/3 cup slivered almonds, 2 packages of Ramen Noodles plus their seasoning packets

As an alternative to sugar packed crust, sweet and tender pears encase a fruit and nut filling that's similar to cheesecake.

Time savers:
Up to 3 days before, prepare cheesecake mixture, but don't add the almonds.
Day before, poach pears and make sauce. Refrigerate overnight. Stuff pears and keep in the fridge for up to 6 hours. Bring pears and sauce to room temp before serving.

These are very fancy, and replace your usual Thanksgiving pie quite nicely.

A slightly modified, but rather Authentic Indian recipe. My wife and I love Indian food, especially vindaloos. Now that we are dieting, I have scaled down our favorite "red" Vindaloo recipe. This Vindaloo has a nice combination between the tomato sauce and the mustard, with just enough heat.

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

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.

Filipino comfort food at its finest! Cook the chicken with the skin on and remove before serving for the best flavor.

If you want a pretty health-conscious snack or side dish, pair with multigrain tortilla chips. Remember, you control how spicy it gets. Use no spicy chili peppers or get it as hot at as you want. I find serranos to cater my taste, but jalapenos, green or red chiles, or anything fresh will do!
