This vegetarian chili can be made on the stove top or in a slow cooker.

Butternut squash helps slim down this macaroni and cheese. You can't taste it, and it boosts the nutritional value of the dish!

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

My family loves vegetable lasagna with white sauce and the stouffers brand is high in soduim and calories for such a small piece this is a recreated version I experimented with and when I hit it on the nose I had to share absolutely delicious

I was very intimidated by the concept of making homeade gnocchi; but it was very simple and turned out wonderfully! Pair with your sauce of choice, I used a simple sauce of olive oil, garlic, chili peppers, and diced tomatos. Yum!

This is the recipe from Veganomicon, unchanged. Isa calls it 4-6 servings, so I split the difference and listed it as 5.

Delicious and lighter than traditional potato gnocchi. Makes 6 generous servings, but could be served with a salad in smaller quantities. Adjust nutritional count accordingly. Also, feel free to use more or less seasonings. My family likes a lot. :-)

Cabbage is a good source of Vitamins A & c, and fiber. It helps to prevent cancer and is low in calories. Cabbage tastes best and is most nutritious when eaten raw or cooked for a short period of time in a small amount of water.

Uses ingredients usually in pantry & fridge, extremely easy, this tastes much richer than low-fat ingredients would suggest!! A family favorite, reheats well

I quit eating "things with feet" to get my MD off my back about cholesterol and blood pressure...and, because I married a pretty little thing 12 years younger than me. I mean, do the math: I'm older, so, statistically speaking, I should take a croak, before her. Well, I don't WANNA. But, foods like sausage are the paving stones of the road to hell, from a dietary standpoint. And, one of my favorite foods. So, here's a VERY viable substitute. You're going to need cheesecloth and stout string; dental floss will do.
Try this, and play with the spicing to make your own mouth happy. Trust me, it's darn near indistinguishable from traditional sausage. Except that it won't clog your heart.
