The combination of flavors here is tremendous and I love the added crunch from the water chestnuts & cashews.

These delicious, wholesome muffins have a moist and tender crumb and aren't overly sweet. I love them in the morning with a cup of coffee. These are quite large muffins, so you could make 18 instead and that would lower the calories further.

Have you ever had that wonderful white trash taco salad made with Doritos, taco meat, tons of cheese and an entire bottle of Catalina/French dressing? Oh yeah, I believe there may be some lettuce in there also. I personally love the stuff but DON’T love the calorie count (I calculated it at over 1,000 calories per serving!!). I prefer to splurge on dessert and tend to choose healthier options for my meals.

Well, I don’t see why I can’t have my cake and eat it too, so I took that atrocity of a “salad” and turned it into something I could feel good about eating on what is now almost a weekly basis. It has become one of my favorite go-to meals b/c it’s easy and so tasty. Plus, I like big portion sizes and the bulk of the lettuce allows you to get a big plateful for about half the fat and calories of the original recipe. Now that’s what I’m talkin' 'bout.

This makes a thick oatmeal so you can add additional water, milk or even applesauce if you like it thinner.

This is a great sauce for most pizzas--I use it most frequently on veggie pizza but also works for supreme, meat pizzas, or any classic combo of meat, cheese & veggies.

This Italian green bean recipe is my favorite way to eat green beans. It's incredibly simple and delicious!

Crisp edges, chewey middles and ultra scrumptious! A cake mix makes these a cinch to prepare.

Forget fancy spices--four ingredients are all you need to make this deliciously simple supper.
