Chipotle Turkey Meatloaf

Modified from http://find.myrecipes.com/reci

n=displayRecipe&recipe_id=
1134076, this meatloaf has offered a good solution to the dilemma in our household: my husband LOVES meatloaf, and I've always hated it. This slightly smoky/spicy moist meatloaf still has texture, which was always my meatloaf complaint, and GREAT flavor! He even said it was "outstanding with a little zip" in sandwich form.

Carrot Cake Oatmeal

Creamy Parmesan Spinach Dip

From SkinnyTaste, adjusted with personal ingredient choices such as FF sour cream (versus reduced fat), Hellman's Light (formerly sold as Just 2 Good - 15 calories/Tablespoon), and grated parmesan (in place of Parmigiano Reggiano). Also added water chestnuts.

"Sour Cream" and Chive Mashed Potatoes

Kind of thrown together, this recipe uses Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. The potatoes came out kind of sticky, so feel free to add a little milk (or cream) for a smoother potato.

Spicy Tomato Soup

This spicy tomato soup (not cream-based) is an attempt to recreate a canned soup I had from Sainsbury's years ago. I planned this for 4 servings, but you could easily split this into smaller servings because 1/4 is a BIG bowl of soup.

Chocolate-glazed Pumpkin Cookies

Chicken Spinach Meatballs

After using my food processor to "grind" some chicken breasts I got on sale, I was very excited to be able to try my hand at some chicken meatballs! My husband said at first glance these appear dry, but definitely do NOT taste dry!

I suppose you could use frozen spinach in this recipe, but we didn't have any on hand, so I just used some fresh spinach finely chopped.

Southwestern Cous Cous Salad

Found on BrannyBoilsOver blog; added to SparkRecipes for nutrition info.

Baked French Toast

I adjusted this eMealz recipe just a bit. (Note: nutritional information is based on using Weight Watchers Wheat bread, Better N Eggs egg substitute, & Parkay spray butter, without any toppings.)
