I actually got the basics of this recipe when I went to a tops meeting with my mother in law! Get em crispy enough and they are soo tasty! Like eating chips or popcorn but without most of the guilt because they are so jam packed with protein and only have under 200 calories a serving. It feeds four as an appetizer but I'm not gonna lie, I've sat down and had em for lunch and ate an entire batch! They even have a good amont of fiber so enjoy!

Serve over brown rice for extra nutrition

This is delicious and easy to make !!

Usually Chili Recipes use ALL canned beans and the sodium level in canned beans is ridiculous so I have used a combination of both dried beans and canned beans in order to lower the sodium intake. When using canned beans, the majority of the sodium is from the liquid the beans are stored in to preserve them. I rinse, soak and rinse mt canned beans in order to ensure I get rid of all that sodium slop, I also use very warm water to rinse the beans, this will reduce the sodium by more than 75% per serving.

ENJOY!

This Turkey Chili has over 20 gr of Protein per serving!

This easy-to-assemble casserole is a tasty twist on enchiladas.

This recipe works great with any type of bean. Beans can be soaked overnight, the water drained and changed and the beans will last for approximately 10 days in the refrigerator. The soaked, yet uncooked beans, can also be frozen so they are ready to use another day. It takes about 1/2 cup of dried beans to make 1 cup of soaked beans.

This recipe came from my pastor's wife who's really into vegetables. The crisp-tender green beans and the crunch of the toasted almonds make this a wonderful spring and summer side dish!

This hearty vegetarian friendly soup is packed with protein, fiber and healthy carbohydrates. I like to serve mine with a warm piece of crusty bread for dipping.

An aromatic, filling dish that freezes well - I love this risotto but have halved the portion size since my gastric bypass.

I usually eat it with a small green side salad.

My 12 year old loves making this recipe. I recommend using vegan friendly options when available and adjust the bouillon granules to your liking, or better yet, use vegetable stock that you've made!

This turkey chili is very tasty. My husband doesn't like ground turkey, onions or celery, and he doesn't even know these ingredients are in the chili. He told me yesterday, "Wow honey, this is the best batch of chili you've ever made!" Little did he know it's a lower fat and more flavorful version of the beef dish I've made for years!

Quick preparation allows me to throw this in the slow cooker before work and have dinner ready when I get home. Just add a salad.

Rice version of a Persian Barley Soup developed to accommodate my wife's allergies.

This is a low sodium, low fat, high protein entree. Best served with salad greens. The directions include my own taco mix which reduces the amount of sodium in the recipe. If you are crunched for time or don't have a spice rack, just buy packaged taco mix. I don't like things hot, so IF YOU LIKE IT HOT, add your favorite reduced sodium SALSA!!

If you love Minestrone, you will love this recipe!! In my opinion this is better than Olive Garden's Minestrone soup. I love that you can make it as thick or thin as you want. Try adding some red wine for a more authentic flavor. I left the wine out in order to shave calories.

More than just plain cheese, this pizza will wake up your taste buds.

Time to Pick a Bone
You can make a good ham and bean soup using just cubes of ham alone, but to get the best flavor you should use a ham bone. You can get your ham bone from the butcher, since they will often give them away or sell them very cheaply, or you can use a leftover bone from a ham that you have served for dinner.

If you are making a ham for dinner, then any leftover ham can be used in the soup as well. In fact, the best ham and bean soup recipes use both ham bones as well as cubes of ham.
