Very Good 4.3/5 (3 ratings) almost world famous soft pretzel easy to make, great tasting soft pretzels!! a wonderful, low fat snack!! Submitted by DJVERBOOM Carbs: 23.1g \| Fat: 2.2g \| Fiber: 0.9g \| Protein: 3.1g \| Calories: 126.6	(no ratings) MAKEOVER: Curried Tuna Salad Sandwich (by MAGIC42) We gave this lean lunchtime staple an exotic twist. A bit of curry powder spices it up, some dried cranberries add unexpected sweetness, and cucumber offers much-needed texture. A mix of olive oil-based mayo and fat-free Greek yogurt keep the salad creamy yet low in fat. Swap cooked chicken, diced firm tofu, canned salmon, canned shrimp, or hard-cooked eggs for the tuna. NOTE SR: mention the tip to heat the pita once in the book. do not repeat. Submitted by MAGIC42 Carbs: 1.5g \| Fat: 14g \| Fiber: 0.5g \| Protein: 19g \| Calories: 207.2
(no ratings) MAKEOVER: MAKEOVER: Inside Out Burgers (by MAGIC42) (by MAGIC42) Lean beef can dry out easily, and it lacks the flavor of fatter cuts. So how do you create a burger you'll crave? You fill it with the good stuff. Chef Meg's son Ian specializes in what he calls "Juicy Lucys." He puts onions, mushrooms, peppers, or cheese inside a serving of extra lean turkey or beef and grills it. The result? A burger that will satisfy even teenage boys. This version is slightly more sophisticated but just as simple. The balsamic and thyme add great flavor, and you'll find that you need little more than juicy tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and perhaps a smear of good quality mustard (or a squirt of ketchup). Submitted by MAGIC42 Carbs: 4.3g \| Fat: 7.2g \| Fiber: 1g \| Protein: 24.7g \| Calories: 179.1	(no ratings) MAKEOVER: Breakfast Cookies (by MAGIC42) Cookies for breakfast? Yep. Especially when they're packed with heart-healthy fats, plenty of fiber and protein, with no added sugar. Not only are they a great on-the-go breakfast, but they're also a mighty fine snack. Submitted by MAGIC42 Carbs: 35.8g \| Fat: 9g \| Fiber: 6g \| Protein: 7.9g \| Calories: 248.4
Very Good 4.5/5 (237 ratings) World's Best Spinach and Artichoke Dip This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it! Submitted by SP_STEPF Carbs: 3.8g \| Fat: 4.2g \| Fiber: 0.9g \| Protein: 3.8g \| Calories: 65.9	(no ratings) Vaguely Chocolate Shake Supposed to be like a Wendy's Frosty - fail - but not bad for me and my chocolate fix needs. Submitted by MAGIC42 Carbs: 30.7g \| Fat: 4.4g \| Fiber: 7g \| Protein: 3.9g \| Calories: 151
(no ratings) Fresh Turkey Pantry Chili This version has fresh ground turkey, onions, and some Mrs. Dash. We also make "dump" version that uses canned turkey chili in place of the fresh ingredients. Submitted by MAGIC42 Carbs: 33.3g \| Fat: 6.5g \| Fiber: 12.1g \| Protein: 23.6g \| Calories: 290.1
