While Chicken Parmesan is traditionally fried, this lighter version is delightful atop a hearty green salad.

Pasta and Bean Soup (White) - There are almost as many version of this traditional Italian soup as there are Italians! Unlike what seems to be most frequently seen in Italian restaurants in the U.S., this version is what you will most frequently (in my experience) be served in an Italian home.

Served cold or hot, these tangy yet sweet noodles are rich and tasty.

A low fat moderation of banana bread with peanut butter and chocolate chips added. The low fat buttermilk used instead of milk adds to the rich and sinful taste.

Add either cooked chicken or cooked salmon to the recipe to make it a meal and it's wonderful!! I add lemon pepper to taste... and I love to add pickled artichokes when I have them!

I love to increase the nutrition of baked goods by adding whole grains. That's the secret to these pecan tarts.

Pickling is a great way to extend the season. The basic pickling mix can be used for just about any vegetable.

The versatility of this salsa is limitless! Put it on grilled chicken or steak, add it to eggs, or serve with tortilla chips.

A deliciously moist cupcake. Great on their own, but better with rum cream cheese frosting!

Don't let the tofu put you off, this tastes wonderful.
You could also add a packet of frozen stir fry vegetables if you wanted a larger vegetable serve.

Try this dip on a toasted whole-wheat bagel at breakfast or with apple slices or whole-grain crackers for a snack. It's even good with carrots.

There's no need to buy pumpkin pie spice. You can easily make your own at home. And it makes a great hostess gift for any fall event! Feel free to double or triple this recipe!

A trip to the Puyallup Fair (The Western Washington Fair) isn't complete without this Northwest tradition! They sell like 80,000 of these a day, topped with a big glob of raspberry jam. They are good cold, but best when they are warm.

(And its pronounced "pew-ALLup").

These are NOT low in calories!! I had to make them for my sons schools Mothers Day Tea (of course I sampled one while there) so I needed to calculate out the recipe. They are super delicous though, eat lots of veggies the rest of the day to make up for it! LOL
