A straightforward hummus that may be augmented with roasted red peppers or olies. Serve with crackers, flat breads or on a pita

Take a bit of chopping, but makes a great side dish or a meal

I roasted my own red peppers ahead of time and fresh whole clove garlic, this hummus is a great alternative to heavy party dips!

Top this soup with toasted tortilla strips and serve with lime wedges and avocado slices.

No tahini so sesame oil instead

Lots of ingredients, but not hard to make. Follow this mole recipe, and you'll be fine. This makes a ton, but it freezes well and is great over shredded chicken and rice!

This is a very simple yet classy appetizer. Low in fat, high in lycopene. Bruschetta can be stored in refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Hummus is a simple dip that goes well with raw veggies, chips or warm pita bread. You and your guests will love it!

A super tasty vegan alternative to chicken, egg or tuna salad. There are endless combinations to this salad. I like to serve it in pitas or tortillas with spinach and peppers, but you can alter this recipe to suit your needs. I used vegenaise, but you can use any other suitable mayo substitute such as nayonaise or even a non-vegan mayo.

Even my hubby loves this recipe. I try to keep it on hand for quick lunches and easy dinners. It's great on toasted bread with soy cheese and a big tomato slice.

This is a super simple, super fast good for you an the go filler upper.

Nice Quick Breakfast Meal

All the great taste and crunch of popcorn shrimp without all the guilt!

More a technique than a recipe. This bread has tons of fresh garlic flavor and great crunch without any more calories than the bread itself! Plus, you can use your favorite whole-grain.

A truly satisfying flavor trio. Notes: You can also try this sandwich is great with thick roasted red pepper slices (roast your own red peppers for even more flavor). Also, try adding avacado. Hint: great with just a side salad.

Just over 7 years ago, I found a recipe for bruschetta online and surprised my husband, then my new boyfriend, with it for Valentine's day. We ate so much of this amazing bruschetta that we hardly had enough room for dessert.

We bring this recipe out for special events, family outings, and sometimes just for dinner for the two of us. So whether this is your full meal or simply an appetizer, buon appetito!
