Recipes I've Shared:
Found in the ww Hit the spot book, before the point change, swapped cherries for cranberries, and left out the pistashios, saved 20-40 calories per serving
I started with a CL recipe, cut the sugar in 1/2, upped the salt and added cayenne. Love it!
modified from real simple - original recipe called for curred chorizo and machego cheese, no spinach or onion.
Adapted from CL - used real chorizo sausage instead of veggie, updated the heat, and used all dry spices.
adapted from CL - used the whole can of chili in adobo sauce
Ajlouk Qura'a (Mashed-Zucchini Salad) - Amazing way to use up your zucchini that isn't bread or muffins! I removed the caraway seeds and replaced harissa with cayenne and garlic powder - i loved the result
Adapted from CL. Replaced sugar with splenda, removed nuts, and made them mini I might add more milk next time to make them a bit moister.
Combo of 3 different CL recipes - updated summer of 2011! Changed out the cheese - replaced mozarella with 1/4 cup habanero and 1/4 cup nacho cheese, up-ed corn to 1/2 cup and make 8 patties
Found this recipe in a book given to the hubby years ago. Adapted to add more head, less mustard and wow - it's good! Simmer however long you till it is the consistency desired! (this nutritional value is only for the sauce)
I've updated and perfected this recipe over time and with likes from the hubby
Adapted from CL. Exchanged cabbage for romain, prob would do iceburg next time! Add some heat and make pf change hot sauce next time!
Adapted from CL - this is such a great soup! Quick! I use face crab and think it tastes great - so i guess then it would be shrimp bisuque...

Nutrition is per pancake, i made 12, depends on how big you make them!
I separated this from the chicken recipe figuring i could determine serving by sauce then add the chicken in. (recipe originally called for 8 thighs and i used 2 breasts) Stolen and adapted from http://crockpot365.blogspot.co

-chicken-recipe.html
Adapted from BC cookbook. It needs more umph... maybe extra salt or a hot pepper? The sour cream seemed to change the flavor a bit too much.
Adapted from CL. switched out pecan for pine nuts, cjotija cheese for parm, sherry vinegar for red wine, and left the seeds in the serrano!
Addapted from A Year of Slow Cooking website! She rocks! I think the nutritional value would be less with just using 2 breasts and not eating all the sauce... (recipe calls for 4, but i only have 2 people eating!)
I addapted this from CL, didn't have any of the veggies suggested, prepared the tofu differently
I found this on Busy Cooks and modified it a bit for me! I replaced the sugar with stevia or splenda and also cut it down from 2.5 cups to under 2. I add this to brewed black tea - original recipe called for instant unsweetened tea.
This was supposed to be a side dish that i found in CL - but i didn't have all of the ingredient, or enough of them... But it turned into a pretty good soup!
Got this out of cooking light originally, I added the eggplant and used turkey sausage vs regular to save some of the evil! I Love this meal!!!!
My concoction of all party leftovers!
Make the Burritos - wrap in plastic wrap and freeze! Enjoy for lunch! Does re-heat a bit mooshy. But yummy with salsa over top, eaten with a fork and knife!
Add a little umph with a not so bad dressing! Up the heat if you want something more interesting. Add some chopped peanuts for garnish. This was a CL recipe that i modified to fit what was in the house!
Modified from Fitness Magazine. Tastes great! Little bit of sweetness from honey and corn flakes! Add some heat to the flake or the honey mixture! I needed the whole 3 cups to cover my chicken - i did tenders the first time - i wont do that again! Cut up whole breasts instead!
Adapted from CL. Added some heat.
Great for that left over ham after Christmas or Easter! Or chop it up and save it till you are in the mood for ham again! This recipe works well with both fresh or once frozen ham.
Be-ware it is yummy -but you do use most every tool in the kitchen!!
Addapted this from cooking light - i doubled the sauce to make it more appealing to the husband!
My friend re-created this at home after eating it at one of their favorite restaurants. So simple, yet so yummy. Adjust head by length of marinade and number of peppers. His recipe calls for Thai Chilies - my grocery store never has them!
another adaptation of a cooking light recipe!
Don't worry - you can't taste the pumpkin seeds!!
This was a cooking light recipe - but i keep changing it. This time i substituted pumpkin seeds for pine nuts simply because that was what was in my pantry!
Use my peanut sauce recipe. Makes more than is needed for 1 pound of shrimp, hence the 2 recipes
This was originally from cooking light - I changed peanuts to peanut butter, and lowered the spice to accommodate dried vs fresh. And I added a can of diced chili peppers. Great for left over turkey! It has a great kick, so you need to like hot food! Enjoy!
found this in cooking light, i limited the oil, changed out shallots for green onions, and used less shrimp to get more sauce!
From cooking light. I've doubled the heat, change to meet your desires. Has enough sauce to pour a little on the rice!
I made this when i boiled some eggs and they didn't peel so attractively! The fat free mayo gives it a nice sweet flavor and the garlic gives it a nice tangy kick!
Stole the basic recipe from the best known light cooking mag.. But added the banana when i saw it browning on the counter! It is so yummy! I love it! I also use powdered buttermilk so i can make it any time i have the fruit around!
Found this in the fitness magazine. Left out the carrots, used chicken vs veg broth.
