The blueberries in these whole wheat pancakes are so sweet and moist that they don't even need butter when eaten hot!
Our favorite chicken recipe, served over bow tie pasta (preferably whole grain pasta, of course!). Beating the chicken breasts helps make them more tender. I buy large chicken breasts and can only eat half of one, but the serving size and nutrient information listed is a for a whole breast.
This is my version of a meat sauce to pour over rice. The sauce is also used as a base for something called "steam kebab," a Turkish recipe that is a favorite in my family.
This mildly tangy bean salad is delightfully refreshing, high in fiber and protein and relatively low fat. Great for lunch in whole wheat mini pita (to which I add thinly sliced avocado and mild provolone cheese). My husband loved this! I only eat half a mini pita. Note serving size for the bean salad is calculated for 4.

I use Vegetarian Refried Beans, as actually lower in fat! Top with yogurt cheese for probiotic boost!
Our favorite quinoa (keewah) dish. Nutty and a little fruity. Unlike wheat or rice, quinoa is a good source of lysine. It is also gluten free and has more fat than most grains. Store in refrigerator.
This is my adaptation of a Turkish side dish, Bulgur Pilavi. Excellent side dish with all kinds of meat dishes, particularly lamb.
Love Ossobucco, but won't pay $ for veal bones with which to make stock when this is so good!

A delicious and satisfying low calorie treat. Quark is a dairy product kind of like creme fraiche, often used in German cheesecakes. It is smoother than ricotta. You can substitute greek yogurt and still get the same effect.
