This is a great addition to any meal. Put it on grilled chicken or grilled steak. Add it to a bowl of beans or eggs. Its a great way to get your full servings of veggies without the guilt. To change it up add some diced cucumber or diced avocado. put it in a taco or over enchiladas. Sautee it with a teaspoon of olive oil and throw in some shrimp o or chicken, or just serve with tortilla chips. It also can be served over a bed of cabbage with a dollop of sour cream and maybe some shredded cheese. The versatility of this salsa is limitless! Just look at the nutritional content :)

This is my alternative to fried rice which uses no oil!

A quick and delicious smoothie to satisfy that sweet tooth in a healthy way! My kids LOVE these smoothies.

I got bored and decided to try something new....a completely random idea made an awesome lunch! Instead of the boring old grilled cheese sandwich try a "Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwich"! It tastes just like cheese pizza with less fat and without all the grease and calories! Plus you get about 25% of your calcium in one meal.....could it get any better? Pair this with a salad and you'd have a great pizzaria style lunch without the calories attached... or the bill :)

A kickin' vegetarian pizza! Extra-good, 'cause it's made on a whole wheat crust!

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

Frozen bananas rival soft serve when given a whirl in the food processor. Trust me, it's AMAZING: no fat, no cholesterol, no added sugar, just creamy and sweet bananas!
My brother and boyfriend loved this treat! I found this recipe on a raw foods website and modified it slightly. I topped mine with a tablespoon of pure maple syrup mixed with 2 t dark cocoa powder.

Crispy Chicken Breasts

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.

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!

This is a quick & easy recipe that tastes great!

mmm...mmm... good

Light & luscious, just right for your appetite.

Ever get stuck in a dinner rut? I sure do! Recently, while digging around in the 100-page homemade recipe file I keep on my computer, (I like to cook. Can you tell?) I found a salad I created about four years ago. Delicious and easy, it combines all of my favorite sushi ingredients in one bowl! And, because it's based on a California roll, it uses fully cooked seafood. This is a great way to introduce friends and family to the taste of sushi. Add slivered sushi ginger, bits of nori (seaweed), and sesame seeds to make it even more authentic.

Taste just like Girl Scout cookies - seriously!! Super simple recipe, perfect for the holidays or just a household munchie; perfect for those times of the year when you can't get the real thing. :o)

BIG family hit!

I can't take credit for this recipe, as I found this on the message boards, but didn't see it posted here. These are delicious and healthy! I think they taste like pumpkin pie.

Fresh Fruit Dessert

A spaghetti squash recipe that has a classic Italian twist.

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!

Seitan is sauted with cumin, tossed with roasted veggies and rice, then topped with a very rich guacamole for those days that you just have to have something a little extravagant

A healthy and delicious alternative to the traditional recipe.

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

5 Bean Salad or Dip Style

This is one of my family's favorvites...it's requested often and Weight Watchers Friendly...only 4 POINTS per serving.

I love Chili's Southwestern Eggrolls, they have so much good stuff in them, but hate the fact they are deep fried. I added more beans & corn and then put them in the broiler for that 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.

This meal comes together pretty fast. It's a very hearty meal, that goes great with a salad.
It's a versatile recipe in that you can add additional vegetables or even a can of drained and rinsed cannelini beans, for more protein.

This hummus and feta wrap is so quick and easy if you store pre-cut vegetables in your fridge. It is a great, lowfat, heart healthy lunch!

A great party dip that all my friends ask for everytime we have a cook out or party!

Easy to make casserole that's healthy!

Easy and good.

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

SBD Phase 1 Friendly

This Mexican pizza is a tasty alternative to traditional pizza. Add grilled chicken or cooked shrimp to change this up!

Who says you can't have dessert on a diet!!
This is an excellent way to enjoy a low fat, low calorie dessert.

These moist pancakes are lightly spiced for the palate of my young child. If you like a bit more pizazz, you can increase the spices or add others. Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice both work nicely here.

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

These healthful muffins freeze well! Low-fat buttermilk and applesauce help lower the fat in these, and the whole-wheat flour and flax seed add fiber. Make a batch on them on the weekend for a quick and tasty breakfast. Serve with a piece of fruit and a glass of low-fat milk.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants and fiber. Buy organic when possible, and when they're in season, freeze them in large batches for use throughout the year. You can use frozen blueberries in this recipe, but thaw them and reserve the juice (use it in a smoothie or add to a glass of water for a treat).
NOTE: Be sure to grind the flax seed to get the full health benefits. Your body can't break down whole flax seeds, and they pass through undigested.

So yummy it got my hubby to like fish!

If you prefer not to grill the chicken, simply broil it indoors. This has a wonderful fresh taste and appeal, and you can make it as tame or as spicy as you wish.

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

Inspired by the animated feature film, Ratatouille, this veggie-packed dish makes six healthy and hearty servings.

My sister-in-law experimented with many different recipes to get this right, she is a great cook and we all love her muffins. This can also be put in a bread pan to make banana bread.

Quick & Easy dip made w/o Tahini

From the kitchen of a golden arch fan. My healthy version of their breakfast sandwich.

Just put in a paper bag, pop in the microwave and add your favorite seasonings!

Y-U-M-M-Y........one of my favorites at PF Chang's....the Soothing Chicken Lettuce Wraps!!! I've made them here with extra lean turkey, but you could easily substitute ground chicken or tofu for the turkey and add any vegetables of your choice. This recipe will leave you saying...."PF who???"

My picky DH loved this!

Low calorie snack the kids will enjoy

This is great for kid parties without giving them a ton of excess calories and fat.

Great Salad or Chunky Salsa

Like eating apple pie

This is a GREAT pizza dough...but keep in mind the nutrition information is for the crust only!

Spicy!!

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

I usually go for the more complicated recipes, assuming that the more ingredients and preparation steps, the better. This recipe has changed the way I look at simplicity when it comes to cooking. Fancy spices be darned--this is the only way I'll cook salmon any more!

Spin on guacamole. Can be used as a dip or a side dish.
