Great for a pudding snack or as a party dip.I use it as a dip for graham crackers and vanilla wafers.
I can't remember where I found this but I've used it for years & it's one of my favorites! So yummy with Apples! Serving size is about 2 Tbs
These come out very moist. I found this on the back of a grocery store ad and made a few changes. The original called for 2 tsp of Thyme, 1/4 c of Parmesan, & 2 c of cornflakes. I measured after I dipped and found I had a good 1/2 c of mixture left so I cut the recipe back accordingly.* For those of you that are salt restricted- You might want to leave out the salt as there's probably enough in the Parmesan cheese. I just sprinkled a little salt over the bowl.I also extended the cooking time. The original time was 20 mins.
Quick, easy to make,and not too expensive if you can get smoked salmon trimmings. Lo fat thick Greek yoghurt or lo fat Creme fraiche can be used instead of lo fat cream cheese. Delicious spread on crispbreads or crackers

BIG family hit!
We don't like baked fish, but this is delicious!
Delicious and easy main dish! Note: Nutritional info calculated is if you use ALL of the egg whites and chicken coating mixture, but you should have some of it left after coating the chicken breasts, so the nutritional counts will be lower than indicated by the recipe calculator.

From Taste of Home Comfort Food diet Cookbook.
nice way to start the day with fiber, whole wheat, bananas and a lil somethin' sweet!
Stuffed french toast was one of my fave dining-out breakfast choices when I was younger, so I made my own healthier version! Hope it works out for you!
Lowfat alternative
Yummy-better than fried!
This is a healthier spin on the traditional french toast!
Large hard pretzels are drizzled in chocolate for a decadent treat!
This is so quick simple and delicious I usually serve with broccoli or green beans and egg noodles using the extra sauce on top
I got this recipe from my mom who got it off a segment on her local news. It's an quick, easy, and tasty treat that's also easy to double!
This is a favorite dish in our house. I usually serve it with vegetables. You can also make this with fish, which is also good.
This is a delicious and filling soup. It can be used for lunch, along with a salad; or it can be used for supper with a quesadilla, salad, and fruit for dessert.
so easy so yummy so good for you
Waffles from a french toast recipe - an idea my 8 year old dreamed up and works like a charm! This recipe makes 6 waffles. Nutrition calculated on one waffle each. Combined with yogurt or fruit this makes a delicious breakfast!

Chef Meg reduced the fat and calories in this recipe, which was based on a couple of member-submitted recipes. Tip: The popcorn glaze doubles as a tasty caramel sauce. Serve it with low fat frozen yogurt as a treat.
My family loves this healthier version of a kid favorite

I just made this up with the ingredients I had on hand. I think it turned out pretty tasty.I didn't realize how healthy it was before I entered it in the recipe calculator- 19% of your daily iron, 8g fiber, and 10g protein, all with only 211 calories. Not too shabby.
I love this creamy dish for a nice change of pace. Add some cooked chicken if you like and serve with a nice big salad.
I found a recipe online and tweaked it a bit to my liking. It is SO good and beyond easy! I gave my boss the recipe and she called me at home that night to tell me it was "food network good". LOL!
Taste like fries but they are much more healthier!
Simple recipe for a healthy, low-fat roasted red pepper hummus. Try this before purchasing hummus from the store and you'll save yourself quite a few calories!
This is a super yummy, super easy recipe that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are very rich, so you only need 1 or 2 to satisfy that craving. After you've made this flavor - its easy to find other flavors - just mix and match the flavor cookies and chocolate (ex: PB cookies and dark chocolate, etc) - just be sure to recalculate your calories. Can be made with Neufchatel cheese too. Calories are usually a little lower, because I don't usually use all of the chocolate, but I calculated with the whole bag. Calculate your nutritionals based on how many balls you make. I usually make about 100. Great for parties - especially at Halloween - and great to make for gifts.
Taken from the back of the Hatch Green Chile Enchilada Sauce. Great New Mexican cooking.
This is a great low-cal summer salad great with any meal. Juicy and tasty!
Healthy lower calorie alternative to stuffed french toast with a simple fruit syrup...recipe makes 1 serving, just duplicate it if serving a family!
This is a really yummy & easy french dip recipe. Serve it with rolls and the sauce on the side. It is high in sodium but using low sodium broth and soups would help.
Oh! So yummy! I've been eating this dip with chips, crackers, veggies, on salads...you name it! since I was a little girl. It's light, but filling, and delicious! Great for parties and summertime snackin'!
Serve with pasta & salad.
Great for parties/ get togethers!

This is a lower fat version of the original as served in restaraunts. It takes almost no time to cook and clean up.
Panko Bread Crumbs add a wonderful crunchy coating to fish fillets that gives them a "deep fried" taste. Even fish haters like me love it and can learn to enjoy fish! ***NOTE: In light of the recent discussions about over fishing and the Spark article about "safe fish", I am removing the "Orange Roughy" from the title. I use Alaskan Halibut for my recipe now, but I leave the choice of fish up to each of you for yourselves. :-)
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! I used thin sliced roasted-garlic Artisian bread, but this recipe calls for doing one large sandwich on French bread loaf and then slicing into individual portions.
From Gourmet magazine. Quinoa is so great - high in protein and fibre. This is a great recipe to prove to guests that vegetarian food can still be fun!
This dip doesn't have many of the same ingredients as hummus, but it is about the same consistency. I spread this on bread or tortillas with vegetables for a quick sandwich, I dip carrots and celery into it, and I eat it with tortilla chips for a snack.
My family loves fried chicken, so when I saw something similar done on Biggest Loser, I had to try it. It's a great alternative to "fried" chicken.
Yummy! Yummy! This is so good, you will not believe it is nutritious!!
Mix until fluffy!
These are for the days when you need to indulge a little. Make them with whole wheat rolls and lean hamburger to keep everything in check, they will still be delicious! This will make 12 sliders, one per person. Make sure you double the nutrition if you eat two. I served mine with veggies and fat free dip to replace the fries.
Adapted from the Dove's Nest's version. Not like any tomato soup you'll ever have!

My mom used to make this delicious version of French toast for breakfast when I was growing up as a great alternative for getting rid of overripe bananas. It makes regular French toast seem bland in comparison! This is excellent topped with a low calorie maple syrup or your favorite yogurt (I like strawberry). **Please note: I usually get my bread from a local bakery, so I did not include the bread in the nutrition values. I do, however, recommend using 100% whole wheat bread as it compliments this recipe wonderfully!
One of my favorite ways to have crescent rolls. Not a low-fat item, but certainly nice for a tasty treat once in a while!
I roasted my own red peppers ahead of time and fresh whole clove garlic, this hummus is a great alternative to heavy party dips!
Healthy, crunchy, yummy chicken fingers that your husband & kids will love!My husband was craving wings & beer & he was very happy with this healthy version.
This is seriously the world's best spinach and artichoke dip! It's creamy and fairly low fat. I use low fat cream cheese, but you could use fat free. This slimmed down version of your favorite dip is easy to make--and it's light enough for you to load up on it! This can also become a decadent pasta sauce. (As a sauce, it makes 10 servings. You might need to thin it a bit with cooking water from the pasta.)
My favorite dish at a local Mexican restaurant is their Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Chile Sauce. I had to try and find a way to lower the fat and sodium so I could enjoy these without the guilt! I tweaked that recipe a bit to lower the sodium and fat, and came up with a winner! My husband and teen daughter gobble these up!
Delicious dip I found a recipe for that I tweaked a bit to make it lower in fat and calories. My family gobbled this up at a recent holiday party!
This is an awesome substitue for a mexican pizza - it satisfies my craving every time - for mexican and pizza! It is also very fast and easy to prepare and kids love it - they like to help to and it is easy for them to do! Teach them kids healthy eating habits!
This is very good. Serve it sliced thinly with onions on hard rolls with melted mozzerella or provalone cheese. Serve au jus on the side for dipping. Yum!
Easy: Hearty mexican soup with great flavor, high in fiber, low in fat and calories - very filling. Excellent for people on Weight Watchers!
Crispy Chicken Nuggets
Delicious!
A healthy dinner alternative... a light white fish... full of flavor and great served with broccoli and rice.
Lighten up this hearty all-American favorite by switching to oven frying.
This is a spin-off of the chili my mom makes! I turned it healthy by subbing turkey for beef and tried to reduce the sodium a bit. Took this to a TOPS holiday potluck and it was a hit!If you are still concerned about the sodium content, I recommend finding low sodium salsa or omitting the taco seasoning packet all together. Also, using ground turkey breast reduces the already minimal fat content.
serve as a snack anytime or use in place of crackers for dipping or for topping with your favorite cheese! They will stay fresh and crispy for 1 to 2 da if you store them in an airtight container.
You can use this as a salad or appetizer. It makes 16 appetizer servings with corn chips, or 8-10 side dish servings. It gets rave reviews at picnics!
This is a very low fat alternative to traditional deep fried or pan fried fish. The fish comes out crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
These homemade nuggets are crunchy, juicy, and delicious. Plus, they're baked, instead of fried. Goes great with the oven baked fries! Hint: Honey mustard reduced-calorie buttermild dressing, sweet and sour sauce, or dijon mustard are great for dipping!
I found a recipe online and switched it up a little. I thought a few changes would add a little something and it also made it much healthier.
Adapted from the Hungry Girl recipe.
Miss going out for wings? These nuggets should help!
Delicious recipe that is super healthy and great for runners and post-workout.
From http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/tuna_muffins.html. I used salmon but tuna could also be used.
I found this on line at eatingwell.comMy husband who doesn't really liked eggplant thought it was pretty tasty too!!A tasty dip for veggies or bread (a great spread as well).
Thanks to Recipe4Living for this recipe! This tastes as close to KFC as I've found!
These are yummy, kids love them, and are easy to heat and take in the car when you are running out the door. Great for snacks and dinner.
These are so delicious. They are a dinner staple at our house! A new way to serve chicken.
Quick, easy, tasty alternative to pizza.You can add meat or keep it vegetarian. Another great recipe to clean out your fridge by!
Traditional country style. My father in law is the king of country fried steaks and these are his favorite! These are lower in calories than the original, but still an indulgence. Enjoy!!
A healthy and delicious alternative to the traditional recipe.
Quick and delish - Just add steamed veggies or a spinach Salad
A twist on an old favorite.
Nice meal for four people or three and one lucky winner gets lunch the next day!
Extremely flavorful, quick, and low sodium way to prepare this (or any other) light fish. Lower sat. fat, calories, and eliminate sodium by replacing butter with olive oil, but sacrifice a little taste.
2 grams of fat and 95 calories per serving.
We love these baked eggplant slices as a main meal, as a sandwich filling or as a topping for an italian salad!
My friend Liz can't have many carbs. This is tuna salad with a zing. It only has 9 carbs and filled with good fats. You can substitute fat-free or light mayo and it will have the same great taste...
These use up all those larger zucchini you find under the leaves! Very yummy!
