A creamy, fibre-filled salad

Simple & Tasty banana bread; Put those browned bananas to use!

Wheat flour Banana bread

From Chatelaine March 2006 issue.

For this recipe I used chicken breasts and canned diced tomatoes with no salt. The sodium in this recipe is high because of the sausage and the olives, plus the 1/2 tsp of salt I added before realizing that I'm trying to cook lower in sodium these days! OOPS! I'm going to try to find some sausage that is lower in sodium AND fat and then I will edit the recipe.

A delicious 6 spice spaghetti sauce.

From "Vegetarian Supercook" by Rose Elliot

Quick preparation allows me to throw this in the slow cooker before work and have dinner ready when I get home. Just add a salad.

This Brat and Peppers pasta is an easy and simple way to add excitement to Jennie-O plain brats.

This recipe is delicious and easy!

Easy to make, delicious, great for the coming cold weather - or any time!

If you love banana bread then you'll love this banana biscotti.

Chicken fajitas with lots of vegetables and a delicious flavor from the addition of spices, garlic, cilantro and lime. Pairs well with tortillas and pico de gallo.

This is easy to prepare. Great for a cold winter day!

A quick easy filling meal that will satisfy the whole family.

VERY high protien!!1/2 traditional rolled, 1/2 layered it's easy, and you never even know it's got tofu in it :0)

delicioso

A decedent way to get in a serving of fruit.

This was my father inlaws recipe and our whole family loves it. It is about medium heat but can be made hotter by adding more spices.

Hearty & Healthy Meal Made Convenient

This single serving quick mini-meal is one of my little creations. Its great if your in a hurry but want something fun and even a little exotic you could say! It can be the main course in a lunch, or even a side for a creative dinner. Its even filling as a snack. I checked around and cheese seems to be considered vegetarian. I used basic ingredients so anyone can get ahold of them. I do suggest that if you have time you can throw in the fresh versions in an amount to your taste preference. Also you can use whatever type of sweetener for the sauce you like, however I use calorie free sweetener. Its a great starter recipe if you want to add your own variations too. (lacto-vegetarian)

This is a quick & easy recipe that tastes great!

Yummy, healthier, fiber-ey joes! Perfect comfort food - could also be done in the crock pot!

Lower in carbs and higher in protein, these make a lovely light lunch or dinner.

Looking for a tasty way to get those veggies in? I never have leftovers because my teenagers love it! They don't have to know it full of vegetables! Very filling with minimal calories

Wrap this chicken in tortillas with whatever extra fillings you enjoy. Delicious! (And much better than that fajita seasoning you buy in packets!)

Try my recipe for Refried Beans with this too!

What a great dish for one of those nights when your kids have a late soccer game! Brown the meat, layer in the ingredients, set your slow cooker on low and go!

NOTE: If you can't find the Italian five-cheese blend, mozzarella will work just fine.

Important: Cooking time should not exceed 4 hours. This is not an "all day" slow cooker meal.

Roasted Turkey and Pumpkin Soup

This Jambalaya is lower on fat and sodium than most others. Due to an oversight, I had not added the tomatoes to the recipe. This has been corrected. The tomatoes used are petite diced with no added salt. If you use other than this you will need to account for the extra sodium.

This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.

"This recipe was wonderful! Probably one of the best I have tested!"

Chef Meg really didn't have to change this recipe very much. It certainly gets her stamp of approval though! She did increase the serving size.

NOTE: If you can find them, shallots would be a great substitute for the onions. Shallots have a milder flavor than onions.

This is a great recipe when the garden is overflowing. Any leftover soup can be used as a sauce to bake boneless chicken breasts.

tasty easy stovetop casserole

I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 280 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis, I just removed the butter to make it a more healthy.

This is a tasty low-fat, low-sodium alternative to the traditional fried chicken. This recipe has 10 fat grams and 172.6 mg of sodium. Now compare that to the fat and sodium that is in a regular fried chicken thigh!!!

Listed below is the approximate nutrition values for one traditional fried chicken thigh. Note: The calories, fat and sodium are higher if the chicken is extra crispy (those are the numbers at the higher end of the range):
Cal = 280-360
Fat = 20-27 grams
Sodium = 730-830 mg.

Yummy! This is great when served with egg noodles and steamed broccoli.

Use a variety of beets and colors for a colorful dish. The garlic won't burn when it's roasted like this.

The ingredients are kind of rough estimates so use according to your own taste.

Delicious!

So yummy you won't think you're eating something packed with fiber and vitamins!

From the Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook

Chef Meg made over a classic dish, which is sometimes called "Hunters Chicken" or "Chicken Cacciatore." ("Cacciatore" means "hunter" in Italian!)

She reduced the fat and sodium in the recipe and cut almost 60 calories from each serving! She also added quartered mushrooms to bulk up the recipe and increase the serving size.

NOTE: In choosing a wine for cooking, always use one that's good enough to drink. Never buy "cooking wine," which is full of additives and sodium. Keep a four-pack a small wine bottles on hand for cooking.

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)

This is a family favorite modified with healthier ingredients!

These are very dark chocolate. If you prefer them less dark, substitute flour for some of the cocoa powder.

An easy low fat and low carb egg salad with no mayo at all!

Stuffed green bell peppers from Mom's recipe..a great Sunday meal!

Note: You can use ground beef instead of ground turkey, but the nutritional facts will be different--the facts posted are for turkey. I find they taste just as good with the turkey.

This is a real simple and quick recipe. It would be easy to make this your own by changing up the cheese and herbs!

This is a great low-cal alternative to mash potatoes. Surprisingly I think it tastes similar to the point you won't miss them even! Cauliflower with cream cheese & cheddar cheese to top. A great side dish!

This recipe uses canned vegetables and is useful for somebody who doesn't have a lot of refrigerator space to keep fresh vegetables. However, for a fresher taste you can always use the fresh veggies! It's pretty filling, and fairly low-calorie for 1 cup portions. Make some corn bread to go along with it and add some green beans on the side and you have a great, low calorie dinner.

This banana bread is AMAZING!!!

My family loves this healthier version of a kid favorite

Baked parmesan crusted fish fillets. Quick, easy and tasty.

I got this recipe from my Prevention magazine. It is pretty zesty.

looked through the existing recipes and didn't find one that was identical; used less olive oil - so save a little pasta water to help thin to taste. not outrageously spicy but quite tasty.

This dish is easy to prepare - mix all ingredients (and salt and/or pepper to taste) and marinate with chicken for 10 minutes up to 24 hours before (refrigerate if marinating more than 20 minutes). For Honey, note that 1 tbsp = 3 tsp (i.e. 2/3 tbsp = 2 tsp). Feel free to substitute seasonings to taste.

Recommend preparing this for a family or, for multiple meals to be used in salads, with pasta, veggies and more.

My mother was born and raised in Bavaria. Our family loved red cabbage. She is gone now, but I've adapted her recipe with just the right ratio of ingredients to make it just like hers! The key is using red wine vinegar. This freezes very well, too, but there aren't leftovers when I make it for family get togethers.

This is a low-cal take on the Sloppy Joe, using turkey and vegetables. Turkey provides the low-cal protein and lots of veggies make this healthy.

This is so good, my mother-in-law made this while I was dating my husband and it became a family favorite!

Delicious layered Mexican pie.

This dish is full of veggies and very filling

Healthy, moist, and delicious banana muffins!

Modified very very heavily from a Health magazine recipe

A healthy and easy version of a Northern Italy Classic

58% less saturated fat, 50% less fat and 27% fewer calories than original recipe.

My sister-in-law experimented with many different recipes to get this right, she is a great cook and we all love her muffins. This can also be put in a bread pan to make banana bread.

This traditional Mexican sauce is spicy and goes well with Chef Meg's Cocoa-Crusted Pork Tenderloin.

Meatloaf like I grew up on.

A delicious take on cole slaw without the mayo from a friend of mine. Contains almonds and sunflower seeds. I brought it to a party recently and people were saying how good it was, not realizing I had made it. That's pretty high praise! You can cut this recipe in half, too. (you could also try Splenda, although I haven't done that yet).

Chef Meg Galvin is working with SparkRecipes to make our favorite recipes even tastier and healthier.

She took this member-submitted recipe and made a few changes to add flavor without fat and calories. She creates a pan sauce using Wondra, a superfine flour, and white wine, which is used to deglaze the pan and scrape up all the tasty bits from the bottom of the pan.

Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

Chef Meg moves strawberries from the dessert course to the salad course. Fresh and juicy during spring and summer months, strawberries are delicious when combined with tender spinach and crunchy toasted almonds. This dish was inspired by a member-submitted recipe. She reduced the amount of sweetener used and then increased the vegetables to ensure you'd get a full cup of fruit and vegetables.
TIP: Instead of slicing strawberries for the salad, quarter them. Quartered strawberries are easier to pick up with a fork!

This recipe is from a friend.... Delish!! I just updated this for more flavor - I love love love it now!!

Frozen bananas rival soft serve when given a whirl in the food processor. Trust me, it's AMAZING: no fat, no cholesterol, no added sugar, just creamy and sweet bananas!
My brother and boyfriend loved this treat! I found this recipe on a raw foods website and modified it slightly. I topped mine with a tablespoon of pure maple syrup mixed with 2 t dark cocoa powder.

In northern Italy, the influences of neighboring Austria and Switzerland are apparent in dishes like this pasta featuring Savoy cabbage and mushrooms in a light wine sauce. Serve with Caesar salad and bread sticks.

I tweaked a few recipes to create a low cal - low fat - low sugar banana bread that tastes good! Easy to make - and an easy indulgence that will allow you to fry it in light butter and still keep it under 100 calories!

Delicious soup can be made vegetarian with vegetable broth or not vegetarian with chicken broth

My mom would always make this with ground beef growing up, but I discovered that not only is turkey healthier, its cheaper!

Vegetable chili, so easy and so yummy!!
This recipe was taken from and adapted a teeny bit from The Clueless Vegetarian.
YOU CAN DEFINITELY LOWER THE SODIUM IF YOU GET LOW SODIUM BLACK BEANS!!!

These are the best, most delicious, even a vegetarian turned non-vegetarian loved them the first time I ate them in a restaurant on our last cruise to Canada! I had to ask for the recipe and the chef was nice enough to share:) Very easy to prepare - if you use frozen scallops, just soak them in water in the refrigerator to defrost until you get home in the evening.
