A super simple and tangy side dish for Thanksgiving or anytime.

Wow

eat the whole pie for under 400 calories!

It sounds bizarre, I know. But given the autumnal/wintry spice treatment and pureed in the blender this just tastes like the smoothest, creamiest pumpkin soup! Check out the nutritional info (76 calories) - mighty good for you.

I cut some caloric corners. Almond milk instead of heavy cream. Super light cheese instead of Gruyere. Acorn squash to help add more nutrients than traditional Gratin. Thoroughly scrubbed potatoes and squash so the skin could be left intact.

Place whole pumpkin in oven, set at 200 degrees. Roast overnight . . . VIOLA, fresh pumpkin puree after you remove the skin and seeds! Oh, and it can be frozen.

This is a lower fat version of favorite for my family.

This recipe is based on my Great Grandmother's wonderful pumpkin bread. I modified it by taking out the canola oil, and substituting applesauce.

Simple, quick, and healthy cranberry sauce.

Asian Pear and Cranberry Crisp is so easy thanks to a topping of pre-made granola. Its a comforting dessert or (mostly) healthy breakfast!

GREAT IF YOU SLICE THE SQUARES IN HALF AND TOAST THEM FOR BREAKFAST (LIKE AN ENGLISH MUFFIN). THESE ARE GOOD WITH PEANUT BUTTER ALSO.

Holiday or anytime broccoli

I never can find a recipe that I 100% like so I just make my own version!

Subtle sweetness and a lovely texture makes these a great treat. Simple to prepare and 12 minutes to bake.

This recipe even freezes well! Adapted from “Donna’s make-ahead-mashed potatoes “ on Channel3000.com. This recipe is no longer on the website or at least not at its previous address.

This very good and if you want you can add crushed red pepper to give it a little spice.

Delicious, and a nice thanksgiving desert. Makes 16-20 servings. If you want a richer flavor use Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Butter Recipe- Golden Cake mix

For an Banana Bread with a sweet taste, use this recipe to end your need for fruits and chocalate

This is a variation of the Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie out of the Nestle hloiday cookbook. It is made with fresh pumkin not canned. and splenda, it is very Yummy.

I adapted this recipe to be lower fat and less calories than one I found online, and made them in a muffin tin for portion control. The only thing I didn't reduce was the eggs, but that was just so the pies could have that complete protein. If you're watching fat or cholestoral, feel free to substitute 6 egg whites! I chose phyllo dough for its natural lightness while remaining flaky and delicious.

These may seem very cupcake-like, but they're still best enjoyed with a fork as they will be quite soft inside! Serve plain or with some low fat whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a special treat.

This is *not* low sodium--next time, I'll leave the sausages out altogether, and either find canned tomatoes in a more reasonable range, or use fresh--but it is about as low-carb and low-fat as I know how to make it. (I usually only have it on holidays.)

This hearty, creamy, chewy oatmeal tastes like dessert for breakfast, but with virtually no fat and nearly a whole serving of fruit in every bowl. Filling, warm, and comforting, and you can substitute spices, nuts, or dried fruits to get creative.
