My hubby and I enjoy this with a little cheese on top and baked in the oven on top of a Kaiser bun.

This is a fast, easy and delicious way to get in fresh raw broccoli. I adapted the recipe from the Whole Foods Broccoli Crunch Salad. The ingredients are simple and relatively inexpensive but they charge $8.49 a pound for it....much cheaper to make at home....and fresher.

Really basic and better for you than mac n cheese from a box. Makes 12 big servings. I like to add in whatever veggies I have on hand. They tend to pick them out but at least I tried!

I invented this while waiting at a sub shop for my husband's steak and cheese when I REALLY wanted a Gyro.....figured I could make a healthier version.

These taste better if you use all white flour instead of using half white and half whole wheat, but will add calories. My fiancee told me that the more of the cookie he ate the better it tasted.

Deliciously light, moist and chocolatey! What can be better than that? Add in 1/2 C. chocolate chips to the batter and they will only be 140 calories!

You won't feel like you're missing out with this lowfat version of a wonderful chocolate cake. "Ice" with your favorite or spread with sugar free raspberry preserves.

Finally, a strawberry cake that doesn't call for gelatin or pre-packaged cake mix! Yes, I do bake with butter, but feel free to sub margarine if you so desire.

Note about using cake flour: You can use all-purpose flour in place of cake flour, substituting 2T cornstarch for 2T AP flour for each cup used (in this recipe, you will use 4.25 T cornstarch and remove 4.25 T AP flour from the measurements listed). Sift, sift sift your dry ingredients!

This tastes great with a lemon icing, or topped with some homemade glaze made with fresh strawberries, cornstarch, a little Splenda or sugar.

An easy cookie for kids to make. Cocoa, peanut butter, and oatmeal make a chewy delicious cookie with some nutritional value.

great for your own variation! change/add veggies or the amount of chicken.
i made this from taking ideas from 2 other recipes.
very yummy. i used only 2 chicken breasts when i made it, because i have such a small slow cooker and there was ALOT of sauce, so you can add more chicken with out changing the amount of other ingredients. the nutrient info is for 3 chicken breasts, 5 servings. i served this over whole wheat pasta ( not included in the calculations) there is plenty of this with just 2 chicken breasts. might also go well over rice or egg noodles. you can also use a whole 8 oz of fat free or 1/3 fat cream cheese, i did half and half (as is the nutrition info)

Using shirataki noodles and a low calorie sauce, you can have a huge bowl of spaghetti that is under 100 calories and loaded with fiber!

NOTE: The nutritional information is calculated for plain shirataki noodles. If you use tofu shirataki noodles, you will be adding more calories.

Of course, you will probably make more than one. I like this recipe because if you want one, you can make one and pop it into the toaster oven. If you want to make a batch, then just multiply the recipe.

These healthy breakfast bars provide a respectable level of protein and fiber without a ton of calories. Best of all, they can be eaten on the run. Reconfigure the "additions" to suit your fancy.... or replace the Splenda with another sweetener if you're trying to stay "au natural." This is a base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste!

Submitted by TUESDAYS

The pumpkin and control over the ingredients makes this really nutritious for you--no processed bars from a box!

Submitted by SKINNY1DAY

This is a recipe from a friend's mother. Think of it as a protein bar and it makes you feel better. You can substitute healthier versions of the ingredients to make it healthier and even more protein loaded.
