What I came up with when I didn't have most of the ingredients on hand to actually make proper sloppy joes. Tastes good, but don't expect it to taste exactly like traditional sloppy joes (it is a tad spicier).

A sweeter soup that is very low fat, higher in fiber, and just warms the soul. :)

Healthier refried beans - very small amount of salt compared to canned refried beans. Also, the cost per cup is much cheaper too!

A fragrant and easy soup that was the brain-child of trying to get rid of various veggies we had in the house before an upcoming vacation!

My remake of Steak 'N Shake's Chili 5-Way, with far, far fewer calories. Normally I would use whole wheat spaghetti, but I only had regular penne pasta on hand.

You can use low-sodium sauce and soup, and that will not change the taste, but I did not have these ingredients on hand when I made this today.

If you want to compare this recipe to the original (and see how it's a bargain calorie and fat wise!):

Sort of a throw together of other recipes I've seen for a non-sweet pumpkin soup that's uber low-fat and healthy. This is a spicy recipe too, so adjust if you can't handle hot! It also tastes better the next day than the day you prepare it.

I prepared this as a part of our church study group finale, and it came out very well. It tastes like Barley Soup (or at least like barley soups I've had in the past), but there is no barley in it and no meat (at least directly). Very easy for those on a shoestring budget.

Do you like Cracker Barrel's Chicken & Dumplings? Or those made by Lizard's Thicket (if you live in Columbia, SC)? This is a tasty recipe replica, but healthier. If you have low-sodium boullion, feel free to use that, I would if I had some on hand.

Designed to be a side dish usually, I'll eat this as a main meal. :)

This was one of those recipes where I was grabbing stuff that was almost finished in the freezer or pantry. It turned out very well.

Modified from the Crockpot 365 recipe, using Splenda instead of white sugar.

I realize there is no Parmesan cheese in here, but I add it when I serve it (not included in the nutritional calculation) if people so desire it.

I modified it by using the ingredients on hand. Something to keep in mind is that the amount of Bisquick I used is the amount that was actually used (I started with 3/4 cup, but used only 1/4 of a cup once all of the chicken was coated).

Incredible! (1 rating)

I say "meaty" because the buckwheat and lentils help to bulk up this dish!

Tasty, without the frying! While the calorie count is a bit higher (along with the fat), I found this ideal for me as I'm often lacking in calories and fat consumption come dinner time!

Not a very sweet drink, but it's a tasty one!

At the store, I accidentally bought yellow split peas (yes, yellow) thinking they were lentils. When I realized they were peas, I figured I'd try out a soup with them. It turned out really well.

Used the changes the original author suggested, plus added a little more tomato sauce and non-fat plain yogurt to make a bit more sauce.

I've served this with curried veggies and rice and it was great!

This is my version of the Cool Whip recipe found here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/R

I wanted to make it healthier, so I made my own crusts, used lighter cream cheese, and fat free cool whip. I would have used a light version of lemonade jell-o and concentrate, however I and many other people do have aspartame sensitivity. I'm sure if you switched those to "light" the caloric count would also decrease!

Something I threw together one night to go with my Indian Saag Recipe. They went well together.

My version of http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/I

Also, I didn't have a full pound of spinach, but you're supposed to, I only had 13.5 oz of spinach (that is reflected in the nutritional value)

Another recipe I originally found on Allrecipes.com and modified for my own diet.

This is a modification of a recipe my friend Chris gave to me. Her version used more sour cream, but I believe this variation gives the creaminess this sort of dip should have, but without being overwhelmed by the sour cream taste.

A crockpot variation of "Indian Chicken Curry I" found on Allrecipes.com. I adapted it to the crockpot and made more so I had more servings to last me for some time!
