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.

This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it!

I live in a small town and grocery stores here have limited selections. I couldn't find Reduced Fat Italian Turkey Sausage, so I just used the regular Italian sausage as written below. It increases the calories but I ate a smaller portion instead and served a Lite Caesar salad with it to fill me up.

Very easy soup to cook in the crockpot all day or make on the stove. 5 WW points per 1 cup serving!

I put extra cheese (10 slices instead of original 5 slices of cheese) on this sandwhich. You could save some calories by on putting 5 slices on it. VERY good meal for an "on-the-go" night! Serve with mini carrots/Fat Free Ranch dressing and Baked Lays Potato Chips for a complete meal.

Serve with Fat Free sour cream on top and Baked Tostitos on the side for a complete meal.

This recipe is for 2 meals -- 1/2 meat mixture is for these BBQ meatballs and the other 1/2 of meat mixture is for spaghetti and meatballs later in the week. This is why I put 12 servings -- 3-4 meatballs each serving. So go ahead and make up all of it and enjoy 2 meals for the effort of one meal! Serve with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob for a complete meal.

My original recipe calls for ground turkey, but I don't like ground turkey in any shape/form/fashion! So I used 96% lean ground beef. This is definitely a KIDS MEAL and we all loved it. Even had to go back for a little bit of seconds! You could add fat-free sour cream and some japs too.

You can sprinkle this with Chow Mein Noodles for some extra crunch, but that adds calories too. Serve over rice and a side of steamed peas for a complete meal.

REALLY good but definitely needs to be served with Baked Tostios because it is a bit thin to eat alone. May be good served over rice too.

Submitted by MDSHEPARD

We had this at a Pampered Chef party I hosted! YUMMY! Very pretty in a clear bowl and uses typical pantry staples. Personally I think this makes much more than 16 servings, but it depends upon your guests -- I had 14 ladies here to eat it and still had some left over.

I served this over rice with homemade creamed corn and some canned yams as another side dish. I've included the corn and rice in this calorie count -- didn't like the yams and didn't eat them afterall. The chicken and it's light creamy gravy were very good!

Submitted by MDSHEPARD

This is an awesome soup to use as an entre or in smaller portions as a side dish too. I cooked a pork roast earlier in the week for BBQ sandwiches and saved 2 cups for this stew. I did the same thing with ground beef for a recipe earlier in the week, pulled out 1/2 cup before finishing that meal. Then at the end of the week, I used the leftover BBQ and beef then simply added the remaining ingredients. Serve with cornbread wedges and a side salad for a complete meal.

Cheap and EASY to make for lunch or dinner! Serve with Fat-Free or low-fat Pringles, some cucumber slices or carrots and you have a complete meal!

My sister in law uses a whole pound of bacon, but I've reduced that to 6 slices to lower the calories per serving. My husband HATES cabbage, but he will eat it this way. At 100 calories for a 3/4 cup serving, it may not be as healthy as boiled cabbage but it tastes GREAT!

Submitted by MDSHEPARD

This original recipe calls for Orzo pasta, but I didn't have that, so I used whole wheat linguine instead. The wyhole wheat pasta is what is in this calculation. I served this with dinner rolls and a glass of white wine = yummy!

I hosted a Pampered Chef party and we made this fun twist on lasagne. I built this recipe using lower fat items to reduce the overall calories. Still very YUMMY! This can be assembled up to one night in advance. Prepare through Step 2, cover and refigerate. When ready to serve, let stand at room temp for 15 minutes then microwave on high 21-23 minutes. Spicy enchillada suace can be used to more kick too!

The meatball portion of this recipe can be doubled and used for a second meal later in the week (just freeze extra portion, then reheat with BBQ sauce on it for a new twist.) In this calorie count, I have added the pasta and sauce too. So just add a salad for complete meal! Maybe even add garlic bread if you wish.

Low-fat, low-calorie and low-cholesterol make this combo appetizer awesome! Use fresh produce for best flavor. Bruschetta is an appetizer typically made with a dense Italian bread, which is toasted and served with fresh toppings. Make the Pillsbury French Bread first, cool completely and then slice and toast for a simple and healthier substitute to use as foundation for the Bruschetta.

This is a makeover of Cracker Barrel's Chicken & Dumplings. My aunt had created the original recipe which called for 1.75 lb chicken and whole milk. It was always one of my families favorite dinners that I made once in a while on special Sundays. Recently, I decided to try a healthier version of it with lower calories, cholesterol & sodium to see if it would pass the "family test". It did! They couldn't tell the difference. The healthy version of this recipe went down 76 calories, 31mg cholosterol & 1104 mg of sodium per serving.

On a side note, I know some people who use prepackaged biscuit dough to make their dumplings to make it easier but I don't like the taste of the perservatives because it makes the whole recipe taste like it came out of can. There is nothing like homemade!
