This is a Spark 'Editor's Choice' recipe that I modified for the crockpot, and shredded to make sandwiches with. It's very good. I like it because it's not a traditional bbq type sauce.

Creamy slaw pairs well with fried chicken, but who needs all that mayo? This one uses Greek yogurt and a healthier mayo, plus a few other secret ingredients.

You will never guess that the dressing is oil-free and packed with three cups of greens, zucchini and avocado! I call it great green dressing.

This crock-pot meal-in-one is a perfect Cuban-style dish. It’s sweet and tangy, with tons of vitamins and beta carotene to boot! Turn it on before work, and when you come home the whole house will smell like the Caribbean stopped by for dinner!

This is a "dry" rub for pork but could be used on other meats as well. It is perfect way to add some flavor to an otherwise bland cut of pork. It is spicy-warm and sweet and crispy on the outside with all the juices on the inside just waiting for you to cut in and take a bite.

Super easy, and fun. Not to mention delicious. Recipe is easily altered to serve as many people as you like. Same recipe is awesome for boneless pork too.
You can put white wine in the marinade too, which is really good- about a half cup.
You can sub dry oregano for the fresh just use less, about a tablespoon
Light and colorful pasta salad! Serve warm or cold! Perfect side for a BBQ!

This is out of Better Homes and Gardens, I've made it so many times, it's really easy if you have a big bowl, make sure to give it time to chill. This is a favorite among my friends!

This is a GREAT summer recipe to bring to a cookout! It looks so pretty in a trifle bowl ($10 Bed Bath & Beyond.com), takes no time at ALL to make and no one will guess its a healthy treat!
I put 12 servings in the nutritional info but that is a good size serving - even half that would definitely suffice!
Also - using the vanilla sugar free pudding cuts the cals a decent amount and doesnt sacrifice taste at all.
Lean beef can dry out easily, and it lacks the flavor of fatter cuts. So how do you create a burger you'll crave? You fill it with the good stuff.
