This is a great basic to always have on hand! Instead of spending money on expensive, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, make your own.

A terrific way to start your day, much better than the frozen waffles you can find at the grocery store.

Cheesy, rich, delicious--just what you expect in macaroni and cheese. What you won't expect? 2/3 the fat and half the calories of the original!

Families have gone to war over chili recipes! I love a thick, meaty chili with loads of beans and vegetables. Thankfully my family agrees!

Chicken that's easy to make and low calorie.

Instead of a whole pie, try making bite-size tarts. The diminutive desserts cook quicker and are automatically portion controlled. Plus, they're easier to make for a crowd, and there's no need for a fork and plate.

A delicious vegan alternative to chocolate cream pie- it's so rick, you only need a small slice.

This is the healthiest ice-cream ever... all my friends were dubious about it at first but loved it after they tatsed it. Good for those nights when you feel like treating yourself to something sweet. A great recipe to make in bulk and have a few of these already frozen for treats when you need them

Just like Chef Meg's mom (who was from Britain) used to make!

At 300 calories a pop, donuts are an easy way to wreck a healthy breakfast. Not my baked ones. They're bursting with fruit and flavor--not fat!

Great on whole-wheat crackers or even toast.

Yum! Try this quick and easy thin crust pizza.

Roasted peppers and almonds pair with fresh parsley in this tangy Spanish-inspired sauce.

This is a lighter take on the classic Italian preparation of Chicken Cacciatore (or Chicken Hunter Style). Our made-over version uses white meat rather than dark and less oil to cut almost 60 calories per serving and reduce the fat and sodium of the traditional recipe.

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

A low-fat, heart healthy version of this traditional comfort food.

This apple crisp is sweet and simple to prepare, but uses very little added sugar.

Swiss chard is a heart-healthy leafy green that everyone should include in their diet. This recipe is an excellent source of calcium, so you'll build bone with every bite.

Move over chips and popcorn! A healthy, salty, crunchy snack is moving in!

This dish worked out really well, and I was surprised at the low calories per serving. The mustard greens are a nice mix of textures with the stems and leaves cooked together. Its very filling and full of leafy green goodness!!! This could easily become a main course by adding some tofu or chicken to the stir fry. We had it with a side of grains and some pan seared Ahi Tuna.

This is a tasty mix of greens and beans to have over rice or pasta. Try it sprinkled with some aged cheddar!

This creamy, tangy dip does double duty: with mint, it's a perfect pair with Greek fare; with coriander and cumin, it cools down spicy Indian curries.

This super-simple vinaigrette is delicious on salads or drizzled over cooked vegetables or grilled fish.

I don't know a kid who doesn't love the combo of cheese and barbecue sauce. This dish is a swap on mac-n-cheese and BBQ chicken that's quick and grown-up approved.
