A wonderful, tasty low-cal soup that you can be very creative with. Next time I'm going to add Roasted Red pepper !
Deliciously sweet and spicy, each foil packet is like your own, personal present of deliciousness waiting to be devoured!
A chewy, moist and slightly lighter peanut butter and whole-wheat cookie base is the perfect foil for chopped M&M candy folded in. A brilliant way to make someone’s day… or lunchtime!
This is the cake I made for my grandmother's birthday party, altered from a cupcake recipe by Nicole from Baking Bites (http://bakingbites.com/2007/06/vanilla-bu
ttermilk-cupcakes/). Deliciously moist and very vanilla-y, a perfect all-purpose cake for all! The lack of salt in this recipe allows the sweetness of the lower sugar content and the rich butter shine through.
By Dr. Ben Kim on August 02, 2004 Healthy Meals This ultra-simple recipe is a delicious way for you and your family to enjoy all of the health benefits of broccoli. Even kids love oven-roasted broccoli.
A simple filling quiche with a Greek flavor. Make a hearty breakfast for four, or make a light snack or appetizer for 8 to 12, but any way you slice it, this quiche rocks!
This is a great veggie main, and the lefotver rice makes great faux-meatballs if you use a glutinous rice to begin with. But it's great with any variety of long grain rice, so enjoy! In Egypt, this is also served with elbow macaroni mixed in, but I had it both ways when I was there and I find I prefer it without the pasta (it made it too heavy for my tastes). I've also used the tomato sauce as a pasta sauce before--it's a nice low-cal change of pace!

Completely vegitarian pizza using portobello mushrooms as a base. The lemon and salt can be added "to taste," you don't really have to follow the measurements listed for them.
This Healthy Portobello Pizza recipe is perfect if you're trying to incorporate more veggies into your diet, AND it satisfies pizza cravings. A two-fer!!!

Great as a casserole or as a side dish. The ginger and pepper give it a tiny kick.
My daughter and I threw this together in 45 minutes when our dinner plans were derailed. It turned out to have loads of flavor and was so easy to make. My kids poured theirs over rice for more carbs, but this chili is good and filling by itself.
While this isn't the healthiest recipe on here, it is a family favorite for cold nights!
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.
I know not many people like plain yogurt sweetened or used as part of a meal but I've eaten varieties of this since I was a kid along with my food or as a meal and it's GREAT and very healthy. So, give it shot and make changes as required to make it better for you, but definitely try it. I've included some alternatives to make it better and more complete as well but the nutrition infor is for the basic recipe.
An old favorite, without meat. Fairly simple and inexpensive to prepare
