I have always liked vegetarian "burgers" as an alternative to their high fat, high sodium meat counterparts. When my co-workers and I decided to go to Chili's for lunch, I assumed that the "Guiltess Black Bean Burger" would be just that...or at least a healthy alternative. It sounded delicious, but when I looked up the nutritional content before we left the office, I was shocked to see that one burger contained 1790 mg of sodium...More than I would like to consume for an entire day!! Since I'm watching sodium content, this was clearly not a good choice and I ordered something else. I figured I could make a much more heart healthy recipe and add some avocado, one of my favorites! Here it is:
From mom's "Deep Dark Chocolate Cake" recipe... No white, all-purpose flour in the house, so I used the whole wheat! :)
This delicious hearty pasta is a favorite in our house. High in fiber and in protein!
When your basil plants grow and grow make this pesto up fresh and serve with hot pasta.
This is my favorite salad. It's great as a main meal or served with BBQ chicken.
This Cake was made without any butter. I used none fat sour cream as a substitute. The plums can be replaced with any of your favorite fruits such as peaches, apples, cherries and prunes. Try this with a spoon full of none dairy whipping cream and you will be in heaven.
This is very good , low calorie and low sodium. Great on salads or to use with baked chips for a low calorie snack.
A delicious over-the-top smoothie that contains fresh fruit and NO sweeteners! Save on fat by using skim milk instead of 2%.

How can you go wrong with spinach and long grain wild rice? You can't! This low-calorie side dish is perfect for any holiday meal and loaded with Vitamin A.
Although these contain approximately 200 calories each, they are an all natural granola bar, rich in omega-3 fatty acid with 4 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein. To save on some calories, you can make this without the ground flaxseed meal and almonds to make each bar approximately 150-160 calories each. If you don't have the dried fruit and nut mixutre, you can just use any kind of dried fruit - raisins, craisins, prunes (chopped), mangoes (chopped), papaya... you get the idea
Some delicious, hearty, pancakes! Try adding fruit and nuts to make them even better! Serving size is 1/2 c of batter. Makes about 13 pancakes when poured into the pan at 1/4 cup each.
