Quick on the spot recipe using spicy italian chicken sausage links and chicken apple sausage links. Bacon for the grease of sauteing the vegetables for extra flavor.

Quick simple lasagna recipe.

Meat sauce. Not much else to say about it.

Taken from SundayNiteDinner.com website. This is their original recipe.

However, I tossed it all in the crock pot and let simmer all day...adding the spinach just before serving.

Yum Yum!!

This is just as tasty as the real version, but it's much better for you. Made with whole wheat penne pasta, and low fat cottage cheese instead of ricotta.

To help lower my cholesterol, I've taken meat out of my diet for one day a week. I've found this dish so satisfying that I don't even miss it! In the past, I have made it with chicken breast and also shrimp and it was delicious. I hope you enjoy.

Not entirely vegetarian, as we used chicken broth, but that can be substituted for vegetable broth.

This is my version of the classic Mediterreanean chickpea salad, not as spiced or tangy as other versions. It doesn't have any onion in it because I hate raw onion.

a lighter version of spaghetti and meat sauce

This is a family favorite, easy to make one pot meal. the best way to enjoy this is to serve a generous amount of salad first and then have a half-one cup serving of the meal itself. This way the family does not have to be on the diet with you and you get a taste of yummy goodness without ruiing your caloric intake. Discipline is required.

Serve with steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

great recipe! Haven't made it lower in fat and calories yet.

One of my favorite recipes. Very filling. Can cut most of the sodium by cutting out adobo but I love Adobo.

Also uses gluten free pasta.
