Just to clarify for the questions below:
First, YES the cream cheese is figured into the totals...if you use FULL FAT cream cheese, the fat content will be considerably higher. But low fat cream cheese really takes the fat down.

Second, I haven't ever tried it with regular Italian dressing...let me know how it turns out!

Third, I HIGHLY recommend using the low setting for cooking...it allows the juices from the chicken to really seep into the dressing.

These spicy and moist pork chops are made with no added fat, egg whites, evaporated skim milk, and a lively herb mixture.

This is a delicious, light, refreshing dessert. It's low cal and sugar and can be made with the lite pie filling in any flavor. Note that this needs to be made the night before to soften the graham crackers.

This tastes just like cheese pizza, plus you get about 25% of your daily calcium in one meal! Pair this with a salad and you have a great pizzaria style lunch without the calories attached...or the bill.

A fun pie for St Patricks day or ANY day!

Quick, easy, inexpensive and surprisingly cheesy recipe. Can be used with any white fish, I just happened to have Tilapia handy.

Low fat, high taste sloppy joes

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.

Use as a dip for veggies or a spread on pita and sandwiches.

Fresh and juicy during spring and summer months, strawberries are delicious when combined with tender spinach and crunchy toasted almonds. Chef Meg reduced the amount of sweetener used and then increased the vegetables in this member-submitted recipe to ensure you'd get a full cup of fruit and vegetables.

Cucumbers give this guacamole a refreshing flavor.

This is something I learned at Weight Watcher's a very long time ago. It tastes just like an ice cream sandwich and so many less calories!

My family loves these. A great way to get your protein, dairy and fruit in one serving-- very filling! Even one of my friends who doesn't like cottage cheese loves this!

Crispy Chicken Breasts

Guiltless high-fiber, high-protein brownies.

Light & luscious, just right for your appetite.

A hearty pancake that provides over 6 grams of fiber per serving. I like to add blueberries to the batter. Very kid-friendly recipe!

This is a great dessert that's delicious when strawberries are in season.

High in protein, low in carbs, and all for just 300 calories

This is my absolute favorite dish from Ruby Tuesday so I had to find a way to make it over. Its called the smokehouse chicken and it is a favorite by many! This delicious dish is high in fat and calories if ordered from the restaurant so I came up with a healthier, guilt free version that has become a favorite in my household!

A quick easy to make full-you-upper healthy snack

This is chocolate cake in a coffee cup...with a few changes to make it healthier

Most pasta salads are heavy on the pasta and light on everything else. This version, which can be served warm or cold, includes a hefty portion of vegetables--both spinach and tomatoes.

No flour.

Commonly known as Egg in the Basket, or Toad in the Hole, I loved these things growing up! (Did I mention I still love them today?)

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls. They have so much tasty stuff in them, but I hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans and corn and then put them in the broiler for crunch.
These are great made ahead of time and *frozen for a quick meal or a fun snack for the big game. I make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.

These pancakes are great tasting and Alli friendly! I made them for breakfast and topped them with fruit.

We don't like baked fish, but this is delicious!

Faster, cheaper and just as rich and delicious but so much more healthy than the restaurant versions. Try substituting the unsweetened chocolate Almond Breeze almond milk for a chocolately treat.

5 Bean Salad or Dip Style

Easy to make casserole that's healthy!

OH MAN, this is restaurant good!

So yummy it got my hubby to like fish!

A healthy option for those of us who have put aside the Chip Dip!

Editor's note: Use your favorite milk or yogurt in this recipe. Use ice cubes instead of water for a frozen treat.

Most of the smoothie recipes I've seen are for 3-6 servings. This is a good smoothie for just 1 person. It can be made with a stick blender instead of getting the big one dirty for just one drink!

A delicious breakfast you can make either sweet or savory, that keeps you full all morning (at least)!

Super Good, Super Quick!This recipe is spectacular! If you want an amazingly quick meal, this is the way to do it. For a little less tang, reduce the lemon juice.

These are SUPER easy, quick, and amazing – perfect for snacking on the go. The raisins make them perfectly sticky (without having to deal with the major stickiness of dates!) and the flavor goes beautifully with the almonds and cinnamon!

Easy and good for you!

A great 30-calorie sweet treat!

Low cal comfort food

Lower fat, higher fiber and all the yum

Chef Meg lightened up a picnic and potluck favorite! Her secret ingredient (shh, don't tell!) is pickle juice.

Use light mayonnaise if you prefer that, or swap sour cream for the mayo. Her serving size is two halves, which will make a satisfying afternoon snack!

TIP: If you want to further lower the calories, only mash four of the egg yolks. You'll save 20 calories and a gram of fat.

This dip tastes decadent but is very healthy. Great Valentine to share with someone you love!

the perfect dish for potlucks when you want to have something healthy on the table.

Cooking fish or chicken in parchment paper packets is a technique known as "en papillote." The protein stays moist without any added fat, and the herbs and fish lend flavor to the vegetables. Be sure to slice your vegetables thinly to ensure even cooking. We used peppers, mushrooms and leeks here, but you can choose your favorite vegetables. Thinly sliced peppers, asparagus, carrots, onions, zucchini and green beans are all good choices. Switch up the herbs and spices, too!

Play with the recipe! Try adding carrots, celery, garlic, basil, or oregano to mix up the flavors.

Because everything is cooked in the parchment, cleanup is a breeze!

If you wish you liked cottage cheese, but can't handle the chunks...

This is a simple pico de gallo or fresh salsa that I keep on hand to add to any dish.

A tasty pasta recipe thrown together

very filling, far more than cereal

Like eating apple pie

(Ice Cream in a Bag)

a veggie filled, chicken version of mac-n-cheese

Tacos are one of my favorite all time things and this recipe satisfies my craving.

This is light and made with Cool Whip - best served with graham cracker sticks

very easy. can change the spices according to your personal taste

Hurry, quick, I'm running late!!!! Sound familiar? So you stop on your way and pick up a Sonic Breakfast Burrito. Sounds good. But wait, it's really not as good as it sounds. Unhealthy, a waste of precious calories, and a terrible way to start your day. How about having a Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Roll-Up, remade so it is a quick and easy way to start your day? It has about 1/2 the calories of fast food version. Cook the sausage and chop the veggies ahead of time so your breakfast is ready in no time.

The stuffing makes this meatloaf melt in your mouth, so moist!

Very moist with great banana flavor, but still lower in calories with only one gram of fat. My whole family loves these.

A quick and easy on the go breakfast for those busy mornings.

Delicious and healthy, a great lunch on the go or at work.

A flavorful way to serve scallops. Great with saffron rice and a green veggie! The calories are probably a touch less than listed because you do not actually consume the marinade...only as much as sticks to the scallops.

Really quick and very easy

A Delicious Fat-free Alternative to Starbucks!

Toss the canned cranberry jelly and use this homemade version instead. It's ready in no time, and it's full of healthy fruit!
While you might question why this recipe needs the amount of sugar it contains, you'll understand as soon as you taste a fresh cranberry--they're tart!

High fiber, high protein, low fat - unbeatable!

quick, spicy chicken

Spicy!!

Low-cal, low-fat and great with Italian pasta dishes and garlic chicken pizza

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. :-)

Almost a Longhorn Specialty!! Using baby leaf lettuces makes this recipe extra special - and yummy!

Flavorful tuna salad made with cottage cheese and yogurt

High protein, low fat, very high taste!

This is a healthier spin on the traditional french toast!

A sweet crunchy dessert that taste a lot like caramel apples! This is my husband's favorite bedtime snack!

Great springtime salad dinner option

A yummy drink when you need a boost of energy because it's loaded with vitamins and minerals. It will even help when that chocolate craving hits!

This recipe is really easy; it's really more of a process than a recipe. Rice paper wrappers, which are available in the ethnic sections of most larger supermarkets these days, are a great way to wrap your veggies and protein for a quick snack or light lunch.

Use whatever vegetables and protein you have on hand; feel free to improvise! The only tricky part is learning how to handle the rice paper; after that, it's a cinch!

yum

This is awesome, easy to make, and a huge hit at parties when you want to serve something more creative than hummus!
