This simple salad comes together with no cooking. Beans, corn and peppers combine for a tasty side dish that becomes even more flavorful the longer it marinates.
Simple chickpea salad wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Easy to make the day before and pack for lunch.
Great for summer- no heating involved. Serve with a spinach salad or a bowl of steamed broccoli.
Yummy summer salsa, sweet with a little spice. Serve with tortilla chips, in a burrito or as a side with fish or chicken.
Yummy and satisfying combination served on its own, as a side dish, or a filling in burritos. My recipe contains low fat sour cream and low fat cheddar cheese as a topping. Eliminate if you want to save on calories and instead sprinkle chopped cilantro.
Save on sodium and half the veggie broth with water.
Brown Rice takes longer to cook then white rice - note cook time on your package.
This chicken salad is great with wheat thins or wheat crackers. I like to use Granny Smith apples to give it a sweet and sour kick.
This soup is a great tasting healthy staple that can be eaten for lunch or dinner. Also to make it a meal for the whole family add some cooked macaroni and sprinkle with shredded cheese - my kids love it this way.
A variation on the Ramen Noodle and Cabbage Slaw that takes out the Ramen Noodle, cuts the oil by 1/3 and uses stevia as a sweetener rather than sugar. It was a hit with everyone here tonight!
This burger is a bit different, because you cook and crumble the bacon into the beef before making into patties.
I can't stand the sight, or smell of mayo so I came up with a way to have tuna sandwiches long ago without the mayo. This is just a basic mix that can be dressed up anyway you'd like. I like it in pitas because it holds it all in.
This salad is so incredibly tasty and healthy. It’s got a flavor that’s bright from the basil and lemon juice, and salty/savory from the onion, garlic, olives, and artichoke hearts. I love it, too, because it looks like an Italian flag that was put in a blender! Great for picnics, BBQs, etc.
This is awesome, yummy comfort food. I serve a small scoop on Martin's whole wheat mini potato rolls, which have 5 grams of fiber each, for a high protein, high fiber meal. Makes 7 servings (1.5 oz. each, assuming the whole batch comes out to 10.5 oz).
This is the simplest thing for a bagged salad mix to take to work. Just add all the ingredients (except the salt) into your container, shake, add salad greens, take to work. When you're ready to eat it, salt the salad (sparingly!) and shake the container. Voila.
The honey and mustard will keep the dressing from separating, but be sure to use oil and vinegar you really like; you still really taste both.
Sweet summer salad served...cold. Swap dressing with southwest ranch for more kick.
