Old favorite which will keep you going all day

My aunt Gwen was a great cook and she kept go-to, quick recipes that were always as good as her spent-all-day-making recipes. This was one of my favorites from her go-to, quick list.

Tasty and easy beef roast.

This recipe is better (and much better for you) than takeout!

My husband loved this when I made it up one night

Beef and Broccoli stew

Tender meat even from the toughest cuts! Red bell peppers have more vitamin C in them than oranges do, shitake mushrooms are high in vitamins, garlic and onion for the immune system...even though some sugars are included in this recipe (making the cal count high), most of them are not consumed.

Traditional German Recipe w/ Healthy Twist

Super simple, super YUMMY!

Quick and easy, low cal dish - single serving

A hearty meal casserole that satisfies! Trade ground turkey for beef in this recipe to cut a few calories and grams of fat, but I love the real deal.

You can use brown sugar substitutes or less margarine to reduce calories. Yummy with light cool whip on top!

Your going to love this recipe. I just threw it together using some sliced 40 calorie per slice bread that was not as fresh as my family or I desire for sandwiches. I wanted to make a healthy treat that was no t yogurt but did not have much more Calories or fat than yogurt and I pretty much did it!

A slightly lighter version of Giada's recipe, with the oil and butter reduced, and the classic Bechamel sauce made with nonfat milk.

Easiest dish with the best results

Turns chips and guac into a football field. We love this clever presentation!

Another delicious recipe my boyfriend and I got from his mom. Try it, she's an amazing cook!

Delicious chili that is a meal in itself! Can easily be prepared in a slow cooker. Serve with a salad and pita bread for a perfect dinner.

Delicious Asian-restaurant-style dish!
You can use any veggies you like--in pretty much any quantity you like. (I make lots, for a BIG family!)

This recipe calls for nonstick cooking spray which is NOT in the Spark Data base.
This recipe also uses plain, every day water, use whatever water YOU chose to.
This recipe uses beef bouillon granules, I use a low sodium beef cube. Use YOUR judgement.
The nutrition information is based on what was listed in the Spark data base, it is a guideline. Please use common sense when making YOUR recipe and use what you have available.

My Grandma used to make this and it has passed down through the family with each of us adding our own little bits. You can substitute the potatoes for pasta if you want to use the mince for bolognaise.

Poblano Peppers stuffed with a mixture of veggies, beef & cheese, and then topped with more cheese! You will never miss the Chile Rellenos again!

A great casserole for a quick dinner.

A one-dish delicious and healthy dinner solution!

Just what it sounds like!
