This dish inspired by Costa Rican spices seems exotic, but it uses spices and ingredients you already have around the house: coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. You'll wonder why you've been relegating these flavorings to dessert! Submitted by CHEF_MEG

Something I made for my spice-nut, vegan daughter. If you don't have all of the spices, you can easily substitute Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning and add extra basil and cumin. Nice hearty winter stew. Add any other veggies you like. Don't like rice, add cooked diced sweet potatoes. Very versatile recips.Submitted by GERRIHAN654

DELICIOUS, easy, and now only 214 calories per serving!! This is my modification of a Chicken Tikka Masala recipe on this site. It sounded great, but I wanted to use less oil, didn't want to buy garam masala (when I had the ingredients for it on hand already), added a missing ingredient into the calorie count, and reduced the serving size. Still very yummy! Submitted by YIYEHTOV

Tapenade is a traditional sauce or condiment from Provence, in the south of France. It adds a punch of flavor for very few calories. You can buy premade tapenade, but you'll spend more money and be consuming more sodium than if you made it at home.
