An Irish Car Bomb made into a dessert! St. Patty's day will never be the same!
Not exactly healthy or low calorie, but the best I could do to make an otherwise train-wreck recipe healthy and easy!

If you are not accustomed to whole wheat desserts, this recipe is a great place to start. The chocolate chips combine well with the wheat and pumpkin to satisfy your sweet tooth. Individual cupcakes can be wrapped, and frozen for later.

This is an incredibly simple recipe that the whole family will love. If you don't tell your loved ones, they will think it is ricotta but get the benefits of the soy protein. This requires little prep time. Most of the time is the cooking time.

This delicious pie makes it's own "crust" while baking. My mother-in-law gave me the recipe.

1/8 of pie = 2 WW points
1/8 of pie = 1/2 vegetable serving

Vindaloo is one of my favorite dishes in the world! This spicy Indian curry can be made vegetarian or with meat and is packed with spices. For those new to Indian cooking, I simplified the spice list, choosing five you might already have on hand.

This is a delicious Indian recipe, that I got from the director of the movie "Bend it Like Beckam". At the end of the DVD, the director prepares this dish along with her mother, and aunt.

It can be used under a sauce or as the base for a dish such as fried "rice" or a "rice" salad. It does not work well as a substitute for rice in casseroles where the function of the rice is to absorb liquid.

This is one of my family's favorite dishes! This can be served over polenta or rice, and of course makes a great taco filling. You can also make it into more of a stew by combining it with diced tomatoes. You can adjust the spices to taste--the recipe is calculated using standard chili powder, but if you make your own (salt-free) blend and use no salt added tomatoes, you can make a low sodium version!

Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.
