This is a great low-cal alternative to mash potatoes. Surprisingly I think it tastes similar to the point you won't miss them even! Cauliflower with cream cheese & cheddar cheese to top. A great side dish!

This recipe is to replace the green beans you get at most/all Chinese Buffets including Panda Express and many others. They are a hit with everyone, every time I make them... even my picky picky picky people that I have to feed!

[EDIT: After noticing everyone commenting on the sodium, I realized that I didn't add the 'lite' soy sauce that I use - I had added regular! Fixed it now :) ]

We found a way to get the flavor of a fried tomato without all the oil. To make sure the pan is hot enough to yield a crispy crust, preheat it while you're preparing the green tomatoes.

Not your normal cole slaw. This is a healthy version loaded with surprises, packed with antioxidents and flavor.

A simple, but flavorful side dish. It's a delightful companion to grilled lamb or chicken. Can be served at room temperature, but is better when chilled for 30 minutes or more..

This side dish came from a Weight Watchers cookbook. It's a good option for when you've got something else using the oven.

A lighter accompaniment to Turkey. All the flavors of Thanksgiving without swimming butter and sugar.

Dried cranberries (or other dried fruit) can be substituted for the fresh cranberries, if the fresh are not available.

My mother was born and raised in Bavaria. Our family loved red cabbage. She is gone now, but I've adapted her recipe with just the right ratio of ingredients to make it just like hers! The key is using red wine vinegar. This freezes very well, too, but there aren't leftovers when I make it for family get togethers.

Creamy cole slaw pairs well with fried chicken, but who needs all that mayo? This one uses Greek yogurt and a healthier mayo, plus a few other secret ingredients.

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans.

This is TAHLON's wonderful recipe redone to make it a little lighter on calories. Even this is fairly high in calories but the fat is halved.
I also changed the portion to 8 servings instead of 18!! 1/8 cup isn't much for a side dish.
