"This is one of my favorites because it is easy, fast and simple and versatile. If you like brown rice, I recommend using it in this and all recipes. It takes a bit longer to cook but is worth the wait, for both nutrition and taste. There is an instant brown rice on the market now, too."

Yummy over White Rice

Low Fat (2g), High Fibre (13g), High Protein (20g) meal

A simple easy meal. Very quick if you have the rice made ahead of time.

from Real Simple Magazine; I took out the radishes and used dried cilantro instead of fresh at the simmer point.

"Gallo Pinto" is a typical Costa Rican breakfast dish. It is generally accompanied by fried eggs on top, meat and sometimes with a side of fried ripe plantain (Platano Maduro).

Warm, comforting, fast, and delicious!

I keep a lot of dried beans & grains on hand all the time. My family & I really like this soup. It tastes good & is so good for you. You can add some Tones Chicken Base if you'd like, or canned chicken broth, but have found it to be flavorful enough without. This is a taste good, feel good soup. When my family & I eat this, it's our main course, so we usually don't just restrict ourselves to 12 ozs. It's so good & a naturally light meal that it's filling without a lot of fat or calories. Feel free to doctor it to your hearts content. This is just a basic recipe & I add & subtract ingredients according to what's on hand.

Great Daniel Fast recipe that my husband and I both enjoy.

I am trying to lose some weight, and find some recipes that are low cal, but also satisfying, this is the first one I have come up with, delicious, filling, and still low cal.

This is an easy and very filling low cal recipe with lots of flavor.

Nutritional Info is for 6 Servings. Recipe serves 4 - 6.

Easy to make, meat-free and done in the slow cooker! The nutritional facts don't include the rice

This salad is great served warm or cold. You can prepare it ahead of the time. Full of protein and fiber and very filling. A great side dish to a BBQ.

Easy and filling. I like to serve this with a ceasar salad and pistachio pudding for desert.

Easy vegetarian dish. Reheats easy for work.

This is not a two person recipe, but we like the recipe a lot and the left overs are easy lunches. Chopping the toppings takes most of the time.

This southern classic can easily be turned into a Vegetarian meal by omitting the turkey sausage and using vegetable broth. You can also use water in place of the broth to lower the sodium content. For you meat lovers, you can subsitute a different type of protein as you wish.

Delicious cooked in crock pot or oven

An easy Vegan stir-fry that even my meat eaters will eat for dinner.

This is a recipe that I found on SparkPeople but the calories listed on that recipe seemed low to me. The recipe stated it made 8 servings at 235.4 calories/serving. When I calculated this with the listed ingredients I come up with 376.2 calories per serving (8 servings). The picture posted is 1 serving on a normal size plate so it's a fair amount of food. Next time I make this I will probably add some chili powder and cumin to give it a little more flavor. It was very good, but needs just a little more kick.

Lots of Protein Low in Fat

my uncle's recipe

Feeding a gaggle of hungry kids and staff members on a budget can't be easier than this - just remember to soak the dried beans the night before, do a little bit of chopping and let the whole thing simmer until you're ready for it!

A easy to make vegetarian meal featuring black beans and brown rice.
