The addition of cream of mushroom soup adds a nice flavor

A lighter version of the classic holiday recipe.

My family loves green bean casserole, but it is sooo fattening!! So, here is our modified version that is now a favorite in our home for special holidays! When I bring it for potlucks, I never bring any home!!

This is a vegetarian recipe that most Greeks will recognize. It is a staple in greek cuisine. Easy to make and a simple way to get some veggies into your day! Serve with fresh bread for dipping & a nice salad to round off the meal!

The turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory and gives the dish a beautiful color. A great way to use the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving!

A light vegetarian soup that is low on calories.

I prepared this dish for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a huge hit.

This is a delicious cold bean salad with healthy Edamame beans ( soy ) and green beans. If you like the taste of a sweet and sour cucumber salad you will like this. You can add onions chopped if you like. The peppers I added were pre chopped at the grocery store and were a mix of red, yellow and green.

A light versatile salad

I'm still tweaking this...but with 11 g of fiber and 14 g of protein I think it's worth trying. The beans make it very filling and a lovely brown chocolate-y color. No need to hide the color of this smoothie :D

A light and flavorful summer salad

My grandkids love these and I have found they make a great late night healthy snack.

Instead of using canned cream of mushroom soup, make the real thing instead to turn this holiday classic into an even better dish!
