I love this stew because it can be made from your pantry and freezer. I always keep red potatoes, turkey sausage, and beans on hand. It's great for those nights when you just don't want to brave the cold to go to the supermarket.

A hearty meal casserole that satisfies! Trade ground turkey for beef in this recipe to cut a few calories and grams of fat, but I love the real deal.

This chili is packed with flavor and fiber. Make a big batch for a crowd or freeze it in single-serving containers for up to 4 months.

A great way to use up leftover turkey after the holidays. Tastes great on a baked sweet potato and adds alot of fiber and vitamins. Also, good with non fat cheddar cheese.

Chef Meg added flavor with parsley and capers to cut the salt, reduced the cooking time and used hearty plum tomatoes instead of canned.

What a treat these burgers are! I love how the tangy flavor of the sauce and the peppery notes of the greens play off the savory burger.

I love enchiladas! These are full of vegetables in addition to the cheese and creamy sauce. Each one has a full serving of veggies, plus almost 20% of your daily fiber.

Use all chickpeas if you don't have fava beans. If you use canned beans, the sodium levels will be higher so omit the salt.

This spring time stew is a must have at any Derby party! Traditionally made with pork, beef, chicken, and rabbit, I've added more veggies and lightened the meat. The best part: This is a slow cooker recipe, so the burgoo will be ready when the horses are loading into the gate.

What a great dish for one of those nights when your kids have a late soccer game! Brown the meat, layer in the ingredients, set your slow cooker on low, and go! From "The SparkPeople Cookbook: Love Your Food, Lose the Weight."

This is my version of chicken noodle soup that I make whenever I have a leftover roast chicken carcass from the night before. Simply pick off any remaining chicken meat and the rest will fall off the bone after simmering. A great way to get an extra meal squeezed in.

You can reduce calories by using low fat soup- I used what I had or use flour tortillas instead of corn. Also you may get more layers but that should not change the calorie count

This hearty soup will warm you from the inside out.

This is by NO way a low calorie meal. If you want something decadent then it is worth a try. You could make this into 8 servings for 1/2 the calories and add a big salad on the side as well
