I've made this on the stove, or in the crockpot cooked on low for 8 hrs. If using crockpot brown the hamburger first.
It's even better the next day! Use lean stew meat in place of hamburger if desired. Extra lean ground beef is less expensive..
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream if desired, I don't do this and it's not in the nutrition count.

Inexpensive, easy and smells amazing!
Use reduced sodium beef broth/consommé if desired.

If desired top each bowl with toasted bread or croutons and a slice of fat free swiss flavored cheese. (THESE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE NUTRITION COUNT)

Delicious main dish or side dish, this is a recipe from the back of a package of Crystal Farms Asiago and

If desired, sprinkle with bread crumbs before baking. .

This recipe is for the Betty Crocker Breadmaker. I don't know how it would work for other breadmakers but it works well in this breadmaker. It's a family favorite!
NOT very low cal, but it is low fat and delicious!
It may be easier to cut in larger slices and then cut the slice in half than to try to slice into 16 thinner slices.

Good alternative to red meat burgers.

Adapted from the recipe on the back of Chicken of the Sea's 6oz foil package of Pink Salmon.
Instead of 4 larger patties, make 8 smaller patties to stuff into a pita or wrap
Roll the patties in extra bread crumbs prior to frying if a crispier surface is desired but don't forget to add the calories in your calorie count!

These meatballs are great served plain, or with marinara sauce, in a soup, or as a hot sandwhich

One of our favorite salads, but too high in carbs for our preference to eat as a main dish. Sustitute any salsa or pasta shape you prefer. Even macaroni works well with this salad.
If you are cooking on the grill roast 3 red bell peppers and 3 medium ears of corn for this recipe. If eating as main dish this serves 9

We always have dessert on Sundays.
This is thicker pudding, add milk or water to thin if desired. Use milk in place of water if desired but add the calories etc to your nutrition count.
Add a bit of low calorie whipped topping if desired.
Instant, quick and easy.

Easy! The most work is chopping the vegetables.
I cook large amounts of beans and wild rice and keep them in 1 cup packages in the freezer to add to dishes. Lentils and rice could be subbed for the cooked kidney beans and wild rice.Adding cooked rice and beans early doesn't work so well.

I haven't tried cooking these, I was entering the recipe I found mainly to figure out nutrition count for my food plan. A woman in our church makes these for church functions and I want to be able to eat one and know how much nutrition to record.
substitute 1 teaspoon of double acting baking powder with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch. Let me know how it turns out.

Low fat, moist,
These freeze well or keep in the refigerator for up to a week. But they never last long at our house! Good with coffee or with soup/stew

This is NOT a Vegan recipe as it uses an egg prodcut but it is meatless. A vegan egg substitue could probably be used instead of the EggBeaters. Minnesota is famous for its wild rice paddys and it's fairly inexpensive locally. This meatless burger was an experiment for dinner one night Pinto beans could be substituted for the black but we think the black are better in just about everything!. The grains and beans make this a more complete protein.
When cooking wild rice, set aside 1c. for the freezer. I cook the dry beans as a matter of preference and cutting grocery costs, but have used canned beans, rinsed and drained when out of my cooked beans. This can be mixed up in the morning and then cooked for the evening meal. I haven't tried freezing them yet. We just reheat in the microwave though they're best eaten right away!

I have not been a fan of tofu, I was skeptical, but this turned out to be something that my husband and I are looking forward to making again.

I love General Tso's chicken but needed less fat and calories without sacrificing the taste. This satisfies that craving in a healthier way. However this sauce mix contains MSG and is not gluten free.
Wonderful served with wild or brown rice and a salad.
Don't forget the fortune cookie!

Easy to put together in the crockpot, healthy, and inexpensive. Add more mushrooms if desired or mushrooms of your choice if desired.
Barley could be used in place of the bulger.

Reduce the sodium in this recipe by making your own enchilada sauce (recipe elsewhere) and by roasting your own peppers (I used canned). This is easy and freezes well for a short time, reheat any leftovers in micro wave.

This could be vegan with the use of vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omission of the yogurt to use a similar soy product. This is fairly quick and easy to put together. It can also be cooked in the crockpot for 6-8 hours on low, adding the yogurt and cilantro before serving. It reheats well.

Serves 6, 1 chicken breast each. A bit of coconut and pineapple give this dish flavor of Hawaii but I've reduced calorie/fat grams from the recipe (originally from the a cereal box, Post Shredded Whea,t about 20 years ago). it's been a family favorite for years and cutting down the fat and calories makes it a no guilt treat for our family.

This is NOT an authentic Mousakka but it is delicous!
The recipe comes from my best friend Anni.
Using a leaner turkey would decrease the fat and calories in this recipe.
Anni's recipe calls for 3 medium eggplants.
We increased the amount of Cinnamon from a pinch to a teaspoon to our personal preference.
4 sevings 7 WW points each (Anni's calculation)

This is one of our favorite family recipes given to me years ago by my BFF Anni. The most time consuming part of this recipe is the slicing of the vegetables. This can be done ahead of time for a really quick dinner entre. We usually serve it with wild rice or a plain baked potato
