What a treat these burgers are! I love how the tangy flavor of the sauce and the peppery notes of the greens play off the savory burger. Submitted by: CHEF_MEG

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy! Submitted by: YIYEHTOV

I love this dish, a litle sweet, a little sour and just tastes of summer! Could easily be served as lunch, entree or main course. I first tried it years ago, from a low fat cookbook by Garth Hokianga and always remembered it.Submitted by: ADREAMA

This is an altered recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It uses ready-to-bake/no-boil gluten free rice noodle in the place of normal lasagna noodles and it tastes GREAT! We also recommend the sauce used in this recipe to ensure that it remains gluten-free. The use of weight-watchers cheese, 98% fat free ground beef, and egg beaters lowers the fat and calories considerably.Submitted by: BEATLEBANDAIDE

This is a modified version of a recipe in my favorite vegan cookbook (La Dolce Vegan!) I'm not a big fan of the taste of kale by itself, but since it is so nutritious I did some experimenting, and found that it is delicious when minced in a tofu loaf =)

Feel free to add or substitute ingredients with what you prefer or have on hand. This is so simple and delicious, you must try it!Submitted by: CAFEGANESHA

I used to make a similar recipe that I found in a Campbell's Soup Cookbook for my Mom and sisters as a teenager. Since I love having a crock pot I thought I would throw everything in and see how it turned out! It's stewing away and is making the house smell delicious right now!Submitted by: GORGEOUS26

This is my variation on a recipe in Kevin Mills' cookbook "Faster! I'm Starving!" It only takes about 20 minutes total to prepare and it's super yummy. The cauliflower is tender, but still firm -- not mushy like it gets when you boil or steam it. If you want to change the spice mix, just be sure you use other warm spices.Submitted by: SELKIE1964

This is a whole grain, low calorie version of the Fannie Farmer cookbook muffin. Oatmeal, whole grain four, and Splenda is used instead of pastry flour and sugar. You could further cut it using egg substitute and oil instead of butter. I raised my kids on this muffin recipe - and have since made it a bit more healthy. Submitted by: LLCURTS
