I love the Red Robin version, so tried this lower-fat/cal version (Red Robin version is 900 cal and 47g fat!!). You could even lower the calories even more by eating only half of the bun and leaving off cheese. Either way, have a napkin ready....
The ONLY way to eat cottage cheese! This side dish is also perfect for fruit lovers. But beware, after you eat it once, you'll crave it all the time!
Sweet Vidalia onions (or Walla Walla Sweets) are the secret to this simply delicious summer salad.
This simple recipe was recommended by a friend that found a way to make okra that tastes like fried okra, but fewer calories....
This is great for a picnic or potluck. It's very tasty, crunchy and is so much healthier than mayo-laden slaws. Enjoy!

This a variation on the traditional Jamaican rice & peas, which is usually made with coconut milk.. One half-cup serving is just over 163 calories.

While browsing the Whole Foods Market Recipes iPhone app the other day for vegetarian dishes, I came across a recipe for Homemade Black Bean Burgers. I had all the ingredients stocked, so I decided to make up these burgers for a BBQ my husband and I hosted for our friends and family. These burgers were delicious, but what I got most rave reviews about were a variation of these made from kidney beans.
These kidney bean burgers were actually a happy accident, as I grabbed a canister that I thought was bread crumbs and started pouring. It turned out to be Flax Sprinkles and gave the a nice consistency to to the mix while adding a lot of nutritional value with the Omega-3s.
Make note when following this recipe: I don't often measure ingredients while preparing food. I just throw in the ingredients until the mix looks like how I think it should. All the measurements below are estimates, excepting the kidney beans and egg. You make need to add more or less flaxseed and bread crumbs based on how much sauce/salsa you use.
A sweet and yummy pesto as a dip, sandwhich dressing, or pizza sauce as a great intro to summer!
