Really yummy, healthy and rather cheap to make. My husband and daughter love this recipe. It is a spin off of the traditional chicken and rice. I listed portions for serving of 8(food for 2 days), but you can cut down if needed.

I call it Farmer's Pot Pie because you should use whatever beans and vegetables you have available according to what is in season and available to you. Skinny because the crust is only on top.

This healthy recipe calls for hulled (NOT pearl) barley from the health food store. It is cheap and effortless but very nutritious.

I try to get smallish, oval shaped sweet potatoes for this savory side dish. It makes a nice healthy lunch, too.

This is quick and easy to make at home. Sorry the measurements are a bit inexact but I eyeball it with different amounts each time based on how fresh and potent my produce is.

Vegetable soup with chicken

Submitted by JOASIA1

I love this stew! It is so easy and leaves me feeling satisfied. I use 3/4 cup as a serving. If it is too spicy for you, substitute a can of diced tomatoes for one of the diced tomatoes w/chilies.

Zesty black beans make this egg dish something you'll really look forward to serving anytime.

An easier, healthier version of the popular Greek egg and lemon soup. You can adjust the proportions to your liking; I have never managed to ruin this recipe!

Submitted by LINDAWANDA

This is a great, all purpose savory/sweet sauce that is great on chicken, veggies, beef, and tofu.

To use in place of canned cream soups in casseroles or as a base for
your own soups. It is much lower in fat and salt than the canned versions. The trick is to have it made up ready to use.
*Note* For my bouillon cubes, 1/2 cube = 1 tsp. bouillon granules. 12 tsp. =1/4 cup

On a chilly autumn day, I wanted some comfort food, and the first thing that came to mind was Chicken Pot Pie. However, since I have wheat and dairy allergies and want to maintain my weight, I knew that wasn't a healthy idea for me. So, I made this deliciously creamy, healthy, and tasty soup. Feel free to adjust it as you desire!

Submitted by IDREAM0FJEANNIE

A great side dish that will accompany any main course OR terrific as a main dish all on it's own.

Submitted by ANITAWPG

Delicious and easy, this salad combines all of my favorite sushi ingredients in one bowl! And, because it's based on a California roll, it uses fully cooked seafood.

My favorite Indian dish, recipe has been tested , it tastes fantastic!!

Submitted by SECOXIAO

Great use of leftovers...I always make extra vegetarian chili so this can be a nice lunch a few days later. I use what is in the fridge, but canned chili and veggies would work as well.

Submitted by JODIBIRD1

This is even great for a party and not cooking the noodles makes it easier, saves time and thickens the sauce.

Submitted by ADRIANN1

This is easy and tastes like the green beans at the chinese food restaurant. Try substituing or adding other vegetables for a change-up!

This stuffed bell pepper recipe is really delicious! You can use red bell peppers if you like that flavor better. It incorporates your protein, starch, and veggies in one neat package! Brown rice is used for an added nutritional punch.

This is easier than it looks yet tastes very complex. Intended for a healthy 'date night' dinner, so serves 2 but can be easily increased.

Submitted by JODIBIRD1

This is one of our family favorites! Although it's pretty low in calories and fat (for fettuccine alfredo), it has plenty of flavor. This looks really good, too, so we make it sometimes when company comes. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The problem you always run into with eggplant is blandness and it's hard for me to enjoy it without frying it up! (not so healthy) until now ;)

This is an old recipe of mine that I changed to a lower fat version. My husband loves it and likes me to add a small can of jalapeno peppers to spice it up.

This is also a very good size serving - you will be full and satisfied.

Delicious, healthy, and a nice change of pace.
