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.

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.

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

Waffles from a french toast recipe - an idea my 8 year old dreamed up and works like a charm! This recipe makes 6 waffles. Nutrition calculated on one waffle each. Combined with yogurt or fruit this makes a delicious breakfast!

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

Warm meat, gooey cheese, and grilled vegetables--what's not to love about a Philly cheese steak? How about the more than 1,600 calories in each one! This take on the classic skimps on fat but not flavor.

There is room for red meat in a healthy lifestyle. The key is choosing lean cuts and healthful cooking methods.

This is a makeover of a dish I often see at potlucks and church suppers. Usually made with loads of cheese and ground beef, I made some easy swaps to cut the fat but keep the flavor.

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.

Love your breakfast sausage but can't handle all the sodium? Try this lower sodium version: 25% less fat, and 1/10th of the sodium.

This roasted chicken gets its sticky coating from the juices it releases while being baked.

This is the perfect meal for those days when you desperately need to go to the market for fresh ingredients. Five cans, five minutes, and you're ready to eat!

This is on the back of the Foster Farms Frozen Chicken Thighs package. It takes chicken thighs straight from the freezer to the oven. Really great taste.

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.

Make these rolls at night and pop them in the microwave (about 20 seconds) or toaster oven (on low) until warm. Pair them with a banana or apple, a peeled hard-boiled egg, and a cup of milk, and breakfast is ready to go in two minutes flat!

A hot brown is a Southern classic: An open-faced turkey sandwich is topped with a cheesy sauce, bacon and tomatoes. This one's a lot lighter, but you'd never know from the taste.

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy!

This recipe takes a traditional French dish and gives it a California twist. A good portion of the fat comes from the avocado, which has mostly heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
