Two Recipes

Scallops baked in al fredo sauce

Inspired by the animated feature film, Ratatouille, this veggie-packed dish makes six healthy and hearty servings.

Easy!

Easiest recipe ever! Works great in tacos, burritos, enchiladas or even on a salad.

Be sure that your chicken breasts are defrosted. If still frozen, the meat will have too much moisture and will change the taste.

Trust me - it does NOT taste like chicken and salsa.

Easy and flexible chicken with vegetables and rice. Great to use up garden vegetables.

This fast, easy, MICROWAVE cake will fix your sweet tooth in only a few minutes. Just make sure you share it! The texture is a little spongey, since it's a microwave cake, but it still tastes delicious!

I have been known to add in other vegies that were in the fridge, but this is the basic combination. I sometimes use vegie crumbles or rehydrated TVP instead of the ground beef, and that is good too.

I usually eat all of this at a sitting, but it can make two servings if you're not as hungry or serve it with side dishes.

My mom loves baklava, and this is her recipe - hazelnuts and almonds make a killer combination in the flaky, sticky pastry (my favourite too, since I hate walnuts and pistachios!). I believe she got it from one of her schoolmate's parents when she lived near the Greek area of Toronto. You need a half sheet pan for this, which makes a lot - about 54 3" squares! You can freeze it after the syrup drench, though.

I threw these together so my daughter and I could have something to go with our ice cream. She liked having her very own pie.
They're pretty easy, and pretty tasty. Unlike making a whole cobbler, this won't leave a ton of extra servings around to tempt you tomorrow.
Almost 300 calories might be a lot for a single serving of dessert, but this is higher in iron, fiber, and protein than your average dessert.
If you leave out the walnuts, you cut almost 100 calories per serving, but then you'd lose their nutritional benefits.
These are not very sweet, since we planned on topping them with a small amount of (soy) ice cream. Taste the crumb topping before baking, and add more sugar if desired.

These are good for cocktail parties when you want to have an array of desserts laid out, or if you want that sweet taste but still want to fit into your jeans!

This is another manipulation of Have Cake Will Travel's pumpkin bagel recipe... delicious as a lunch side with a bowl of (tomato?) soup. For a (non-vegan) option, top with shredded mozzarella cheese after 10 minutes of baking.

Makes 8 (3.5-oz) bagels

Peanut butter + Nutella, with a good shot of hemp protein and tofu thrown in - don't look at me like that! You'd never be able to tell! These are some huge, chewy, rich cookies, and they SPREAD - space them well!

I am making this tonight, my fiance loves havarti cheese so I thought I would tr these few things together to see how they all taste. It sounds good and easy. It is a great source of protein too.

Found this on a website, originally from Vegetarian Times

Tasty dish for any meal.

yummm, good hot or cold.For a nice, light, but filling lunch or snack.

A large batch of Chili for those large get-togethers! Extremely easy to prepare!

These cookies get two thumbs up in terms of nutrition!

Thumbprint cookies are a tradition during the holidays, but this one offers extra nutrients, lower fat and great flavor.

This recipe uses some ingredients that might be new to you. Spelt flour is available in small bags in the baking aisle at large grocery stores, and agave nectar is found at health food stores or online. (Some larger supermarkets might also carry it.) Agave nectar is a natural sweetener that has a lower glycemic index than sugar, but you can sub honey.

You may substitute your favorite low-fat granola cereal for the Ezekiel 4:9, but be sure the granola does not contain any fruit, which will affect the texture of the cookie. I used a Superfruit Spread from Trader Joe's, but a fruit-juice sweetened preserve will work just as well. Because spelt takes some time to absorb liquid, it is best to refrigerate this dough overnight.

This recipe was created by Patricia Huller C.C.E., M.Ed., a culinary instructor and healthy baking expert from Cincinnati State's Midwest Culinary Institute, especially for SparkRecipes.

An easy and low cal breakfast good for any day.

This recipe is from Dr. Oz's You on a Diet book

Oven baked Atlantic salmon fillets seasoned with fresh garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice, and topped with sliced plum tomatoes and capers.

Sometimes you know you are going to drink 2 glasses of wine, and that is OK! Knowing this, stop off at the deli and get two slices of turkey breast (be careful, they vary greatly in nutritional value!!) At home you should already have the staples of: frozen edamame (buy individually wrapped, boxes at Costco and always keep these your freezer), Couscous, balsamic vinegar, salt. As well, since this suggested recipe is only 412 calories (INCLUDING the 2 glasses of wine!), add in another 80 calories of your favourite veggies to the couscous if you want to pump the couscous up a little bit. OR, skip the veggies and throw in 80 calories of chocolate at the end of your meal, and go to bed happy full of wine and chocolate, knowing you did not blow your calorie intake of 500 calories for the evening!

As seen on flaxmatters.com and modified for low carb. Makes 4 dozen buns.

Haven't tried this yet! But I'll update this once I have. :)

In a homemade BBQ Sauce.. Also great on the grill!

I love this as a low cal low fat snack. Even my two year old drank it right up. Great way to get a serving of fruit!

This is a simple main course meal for two.

A quick and easy recipe I found on the Taste of Home website.

From the blog fANNEtasticfood.com.

This is a very fast and easy to cook, healthy and nutritious waffle for breakfast, lunch or brunch. It is only one serving but you will not need seconds, believe me, it will make you full especially when served with Greek yogurt, honey and fresh fruits and berries. I recommend using fresh citrus zest as it is a natural, powerful and fresh flavor ingredient. And if you need several waffles just double the ingredients, triple, quadruple etc. :)
