Quick and easy low fat chicken burritos! Fajita style! You get almost even amounts of carbs and proteins in this meal. Very convenient for on the go.
A Great Big Thanks to my nephew John and his wife Carley for this wonderful idea to make complete meals in a rice cooker. This especially helps on days when my chronic fatigue is kicking in.
I never liked lettuce or any kind of dressing so it took me a long time to like salad. I eat lettuce now, but until then, I had to create yummy alternatives. This salad is filled with healthy (Mediterranean) fats, protein, fiber and nutrients. There is enough moisture from the ingredients that a dressing is not required. However, a balsamic drizzle is a de-lish addition if desired.
Lovely as a light lunch and pleasing to the (dairy friendly) vegetarian. When recipe is doubled, it's perfect for potlucks and picnics since there is no dressing.
This is my recipe for making spaghetti squash which I use to replace spaghetti noodles, but I also use it as a base for some vegan meals. The photo is from a hybrid squash.
Well, I was so excited with my first posting this evening (and I had a restaurant sized can of black beans open) that I decided to give another recipe a try! I hope you use this as a "guide", as I do with all recipes, and add or omit whatever you think will make it better. I look forward to your comments :)
Because I cook for several family members with different dietary needs, I cannot make it as "hot", salty or spicy as I like. You may add hot sauce or cayenne or ?
As I am new to Spark People, and posting recipes ANYWHERE, I had some difficulty with the calculations--I can assure you that this is a FAT FREE recipe, however no matter what I tried I still came up with some fat in the calculations.
We topped this with a T of fat free sour cream, T of Kraft fat free cheddar and some chopped green onions. NO added fat, LOTS of added flavor (don't forget to add this into your calorie total if you do the same). And if you can afford a little "fat", by all means add some crumbled tortilla chips and a slice of avacado....yumm...
I hope you try this soup and enjoy it!
Practically FAT FREE! One of my favorites and this was one of the first soups I made with my emmersion blender... I am not a fan of vegetables so any way I can get them, I'll take it!
Make the Egg Salad option on the back and add ham and corn as a finishing touch!
This is an excellent receipe to make in less than 2 minutes at work! Very filling and under 180 calories. Can't beat that!!
I created this because my kids love taco salads but it is full of fat so switched some ingredients and they love it! Low fat with full flavor!!
A delicious lightened version of a traditional Quiche! A great meal with a salad!
Special guests? Serve a lovely pot of Earl Grey Tea with tea sandwiches, scones and Creme Fraiche with strawberry preserves.
When your really hungry this salad full of protein and veggies will do the trick! A great way to use up your grilled chicken from the night before.
Super low in calories, delicious alone or on your favorite high fiber bread. Super high in protein! You can't beat it :)
Light, Healthy, Low Fat, Tasty Soup from The Bahamas!! I have given you the Chicken version, but you can substitute it for Turkey wings or Pork Ribs (both cut in cubes). Great on a Saturday or Sunday Brunch!
Inspired from a delicious-looking recipe on FatFree Vegan (http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/2007/04/whit
e-bean-and-garlic-stew.html)... It looks like a lot of garlic, but it's nice and sweet and mellow. Don't worry!
