No eggs and use of low fat and fat free cheeses make this dish a nice balance of carbs/protein and fat.
This yummy lasagna recipe calls for frozen vegetables; no need to spend precious time chopping!
This is a spin-off of eggplant parmesean, made with what was in my fridge at the moment. It came out really well, and is a great, healthy substitute when you are in the mood for eggplant parm or lasagna.
This is my easy, low-carb substitute for lasagna. The eggplant is neither breaded nor fried, yet the dish is still pure melt-in-your-mouth comfort food.
You may add meat (ground turkey, sausage) or vegetarian protein (seitan crumble, chickpeas) to the dish if you prefer.
This is my go-to recipe for pasta sauce. The vegetables can be changed based on what is in the fridge, and herbs and spices can be added or changed according to personal preferences. However, this is the base from a nutritional perspective (unless more veggies are added, and then you might get some new nutrients, but not many more calories).
I like my pasta saucy, so the serving sizes are generous, and possibly more than other people like on their pasta.
This is a low carb salad when you need something "green" with your meal! Very easy and can substitute blueberries for any berry:strawberry, cranberry, raspberry you name it! You can make a single serving for yourself or enough to last the week!
Filling, fresh, and bright. Use your choice of proteins, and veggies. Even though the fat content is high, it's EVOO...so it's not super bad. Leave out the cheese and add another veggie or protein if desired. The sky is the limit with this.
Imitation crabmeat makes a great filling for these saucy lowfat seafood spirals
The pasta is cooked risotto style which makes a nice creamy dish with hardly any dairy!
Inspired by a Rachel Ray recipe, which sadly weighed in at over 800 calories a serving! By swapping shrimp for ham, removing some additional starches and cutting out cream, this dish is a yummy substitute at half the calories!
