An Italian favorite gets a below the border twist. Chef Meg made just a few tweaks before giving this one her seal of approval! She adds the spices early in cooking to help boost flavor and added a full pound of turkey for a more filling meal. Submitted by: CHEF_MEG

The best breakfast ever. This can be tweaked to your liking, if you just want egg whites, less cheese and non stick pan spray ( wich will eliminate those calories). Submitted by: KATIEBUGG13

If I weren't sparking, I'd be scooping this up with tortilla chips! This would also be great in a wrap. Right now, I'm eating it with a fork and it is fantastic!

Makes 4 huge servings at this calorie level. 6 smaller servings would lighten the calories.

This is a layered dip or main dish.Submitted by: CATHERINEL66

Pleasing to the eye and the tummy =)
Cool, spicy, tangy and addicting.
Tip: Doing this for a picnic? DO NOT THAW THE CORN! It will thaw by the time you need it and help keep the salad cool!

Hint: If you can't find the canned "diced tomatoe & green chillies" simply substitute w/one tomatoe and another quarter of that jalapeno pepper.

Great to prepare the night before a picnic :)

Best part of this recipe is it's not an exact science. Eyeball it and play w/the vinegars! I prefer more cilantro & jalapeno for a more "Mex" and less "Tex" taste!

A meal in a bowl! This is a great lunch or supper on hot days, and it fills you right up for less than 300 calories. For suppers on the go, you can freeze the chicken strips in advance and just heat them up in the microwave. Low in sodium, high in protein.Submitted by: BLUESENOUGH

This hearty side dish includes pine nuts, which are a waist slimming MUFA. As a side dish, halve each half to yield 8 servings. Also yummy all by itself as a complete meatless meal! You can reduce the calorie count if you leave out the cheese or use reduced fat cheese, and it still tastes great!Submitted by: KKS5369
