This recipe could be altered even more by using whole wheat flour (which I just didn't have when I made them), skim milk, and more ground flax to provide a little more fiber. I was experimenting, but am VERY pleased with the result!
Adding a small amount of flavored instant potatoes makes this extra creamy!
Yet another "throw it all together" recipe, made with things I happened to have on hand. Turned out pretty good, a sweet tomato pasta dish. You could add any type of veggie to this, I ate it with some canned no-salt green beans mixed in.
This is a meatless variation of Carbonara, with tomatoes and skim milk instead of cream. I also added green beans for variety. This is a "quick" version, using canned tomatoes, beans and parmesan, but you can make this with all fresh ingredients and the flavors will be more intense.
A long, long time ago, Taco Bell used to make a "Santa Fe Chalupa". I loved the flavor of the smoky/sweet/spicy sauce, so I created my own low-fat version. It is especially good on egg burritos! And the best part is that you get the Taco Bell Fire Sauce packets for free if you go there...
Mixing non-fat milk with prepackaged creamy dressing provides a tasty lower-calorie dressing.
I was trying to sneak veggies into the favorite instant mashed potatoes, instead I created a great veggie dish! (Leave out the margarine to reduce the fat and sodium...)
This definitely satisfies any mac-n-cheese cravings I've had, and it has lots of broccoli in it too!
Filled with hidden vegetables, this easy spaghetti can be quick-cooked on the stove, or simmered all day in the crock-pot.
