6 peppers halved top to bottom Preheat oven to 350

I added as many vegetables as pasta so it would be healthy and I could eat more. Pioneer woman's sauce knocks it out of the park, but not nearly enough vegies.

MY OWN RECIPE

USE JIMMY DEAN TURKEY CRUMBLES

THE ORIGIONAL RECIPE BY CYRUSFAMILY, HAD TOO MUCH SODIUM AND SUGAR FOR ME SO I JUST COPIED IT AND CHANGED SUGAR TO STEVIA AND BOULION CUBES TO LOW SODIUM BROTH. I ALSO REDUCED IT BY 1/2 BECAUS THERE ARE JUST 2 OF US.

I COOK THIS SLOWLY IN THE CROCK POT

I LOVE NACHOS AND I LOVE PITA CHIPS AND THE MORE MEDITERANIAN FOODS TOO. SO I JUST TOPPED A SERVING OF PITA CHIPS WITH WHAT I HAD AROUND THAT I LOVE! I USED THE SWEET RED PEPPER CANNED AND PACKED IN WATER.

DH HAS BEEN MAKING CHILI FOR YEARS, THIS IS HIS MOST RECENT RECIPE THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!

I MODIFIED AN OLD RECIPE USING RICOTTA IN PLACE OF THE SOUR CREAM. I ADD THE MUSHROOMS AT THE END SO THEY AREN'T OVER COOKED.

I GOT THIS RECIPE FROM AN OLD NATURAL FOODS COOK BOOK I'VE HAD OVER 30 YEARS. IT'S GOOD AND NUTRICIOUS.

I HAVE TO HIDE VEGIES TO GET DH TO EAT THEM. SO HERE'S MY SOLUTION...HE LOVES MEAT LOAF. I GRATE THE VEGIES SMALL AND HE GOBBLES IT DOWN.

YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE HAM FOR THE SMOKED SALMON FOR THIS RECIPE.. THE ORIGIONAL RECIPE CALLS FOR STEAMING FRESH SALMON, I THAW FROZEN AND I USE CHEF MEGS OVEN ROASTED SUNDRIED TOMATO RECIPE. IT'S SUPER YUMMY, EASY, AND SEEMS DECADANT!

I USED THE SLOW COOKED RUMP ROAST WITH THE DRIPPINGS THAT I MADE EARLIER THIS WEEK. SUBSTITUTED POTATOES FOR CAULIFLOWER TO LOWER CARBS. THIS IS YUMMY

FROM THE MARTHA WHITE CORN MEAL MIX BAG. THIS IS A GREAT CORN BREAD RECIPE.

THIS HAS NO PEPPERS BECAUSE THAT'S HOW MY HUSBAND WILL EAT IT. SEASON TO TASTE. I LIKE IT HOTTER THAN HE DOES SO I SEASON IT MORE IN THE BOWL AND TOP IT WITH SOUR CREAM OR CHEDDAR.
I START IT ON THE STOVE TOP IN THE MORNING AND PUT IT IN THE CROCK POT TO COOK ON LOW.

I MODIFIED THE HUNGRY GIRL PUMPKIN NOG FOR THIS ITS YUMMY!

NURSERC1 POSTED THIS ON ONE OF MY LOW CARB TEAMS I HAVE ENTERED IT HERE FOR ALL OF US TO ENJOY!
Tastes like pumpkin pie in a glass..
make 2 small- medium servings. and it is posted in sparks recipes site.

FROM THE WHEAT GERM CREPE I CHANGED WHEAT GERM TO TO ALMOND MEAL.

NURSERC1 POSTED THIS GREAT RECIPE ON MY LOW CARB TEAM. I'M JUST REPOSTING IT HERE FOR ALL TO ENJOY. SHE COUNTED 10 SERVINGS I COUNTED 8

I MODIFIED HIGH FIBER LOW CARB CHICKEN ENCHILADAS RECIPE BECAUSE WE LOVED THE CREAMY SAUCE TO GET THIS RECIPE.
NET CARBS = 5.5

I MODIFIED THE SOUTHBEACH DIET SMOKED SALMON FRITTATA TO FIT THE INGREDIENTS I HAD ON HAND (FROZEN ASPARAGUS SPEARS, HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM, AND SUNDRIED TOMATO PESTO INSTEAD OF 1/4 CUP OF SUNDRIED DRY PACKED TOMATOES).
YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE BROCCOLI FLOURETS FOR THE ASPARAGUS AND HAM FOR THE SALMON.
THIS IS EASIER THAN IT SOUNDS AND IS RICH AND TASTEY FOR BRUNCH!

THIS WAS POSTED ON THE WHAT'S COOKIN' GOOD LOOKIN'? MESSAGE BOARD OF ONE OF MY LOW CARB OR ATKINS TEAMS. THEY ARE FAB!

I LOVE THE FLAX CRACKERS SO MUCH WITH PARM, THAT I TWEEKED THE RECIPE TO TASTE LIKE CHEESE STRAWS. YUMMY

I MINCED BREAD AND BUTTER CHIPS AND USED ABOUT 2 TBS OF MINCED ONION.

THE RECIPE IS MODIFIED FROM THE WEIGHT WATCHER MAGAZINE. INSTEAD OF USING M&M BITS AND CHOCOLATE CHIPS I ADDED WALNUT PEICES. THESE ARE YUMMY!

I PRESS THE MEAT INTO A ROUND PIZZA PAN AND BEGIN COOKING AT 425* WHILE I PREPARE THE CHOPPED VEGETABLES.

I USE REDUCED SUGAR KETSUP

I HAD TO USE UP SOME VEGIES SO I MADE THIS SOUP. ANY VEGETABLES WILL DO AND BE GOOD.

I USED THE RECIPE BY DOWNTOWNJB AND JUST TOOK OUT THE WHOLE EGGS AND SIMPLY USED ENOUGH EGG SUBSTITUTE TO REPLACE 4 EGG WHITES AND 2 WHOLE EGGS.

BOIL RED POTATOES RAW AND KEEP THE SKINS ON. COOL AND CHOP FOR SALAD. PAR BOIL CHOPPED CELERY AND COOL ( I PUT THE DICED CELERY IN A SMALL BOWL WITH A LITTLE WATER AND MICROWAVE ABOUT A MINUTE).

I GOT THE ORIGIONAL RECIPE OFF FOOD NETWORK MELISSA'S SHEPHERD'S PIE. I LIGHTENED IT UP AND REDUCED CARBS AND FAT FOR ME. I ALSO CUT IT IN 1/2 BECAUSE IT'S JUST THE DOGS AND I THRU THE WEEK.
I JUST COPY AND PASTED THE DIRECTIONS BUT THAT WILL BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT BECAUSE I USED PRECOOKED TURKEY BACON AND GROUND TURKEY.

I LOVE THE GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD AT LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE SO I TRIED COPPYING IT AND IT TURNED OUT GREAT! THIS MAKES 2 GREAT SALADS!

I SUBSTITUTED SKIM MILK FOR 1% AND EGG SUBSTITUTE FOR 2 WHOLE EGGS SINCE I HAVE TO REDUCE FAT FOR MYSELF BUT THE ZONE DIET USES THE WHOLE EGGS AND 1% MILK. I ALSO SUBSTITUTED CANOLA FOR OLIVE OIL BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED BETTER FOR BREAKFAST PANCAKES.
I'M USING THIS DIET WITH THE SPARK TO KEEP MY INSULIN DOWN WITH IN THE ZONE.

PUT VEGETABLES IN STOCK RAW WITH CHICKEN.
COOK RICE AND ADD TO SOUP WHEN VEGE ARE COOKED THRU.

I MAKE THIS IN THE SLOW COOKER AND ADD COOK RICE THEN ADD TO SOUP WHEN VEGETABLES ARE COOKED THROUGH

I CUT THIS RECIPE IN 1/2 AND LOWERED THE FAT. I ALSO USED SPLENDA BLEND INSTEAD OF SUGAR.
IT ONLY INCREASED THE CALORIES BY 2.4 BUT USING THE SPLENDA BLEND REDUCED THE SUGAR AND INCREASES THE PROTEIN BY USING WHOLE GRAIN FLOUR

THIS IS A 1/2 RECIPE OF THE BREAKFAST CASSAROLE THAT I MADE A LIGHTER VERSION OF. I HAD TO CHANGE A FEW INGREDIENTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ALL OF THEM AND IT LIGHTENED THE RECIPES. IF YOU USE THE REDUCED FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE IT'S EVEN LIGHTER BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THAT.

I CAN'T HAVE SUGAR BUT I LOVE CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING. I ADLIBBED WITH THE POLANERS SUGAR FREE ORANGE MARMELADE AND 6 PACKS ON ONLY SWEET (STEVIA) IN 1 1/2 PACKS OF NAUFCHATEL CHEESE. I SOFTEN THE CHEESE IN THE MICROWAVE ON THAW, I DO THE SAME WITH THE FRUIT SPREAD. THIS IS VERY GOOD AND WILL BE GREAT ON TOAST TOO!

I GOT THIS OFF A SPARK EMAIL I THINK BUT I DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE RIGHT INGREDIENTS. I SUBSTITUTED CRAISINS AND SOME WALNUTS, ADDED UNSWEETENED ORGANIC COCONUT, AND SUBSTITUTED LIGHT CRANBERRY JUICE FOR THE APPLE..

ONE CUP PER SERVING.
RECIPE CALLS FOR 1 TBSP ORGANIC AGAVE NECTAR ALSO

I GOT THIS OFF FOOD NETWORK. IT CALLED FOR BONE IN TURKEY THIGHS BUT I COULDN'T FIND SKINLESS WITH THE BONE. THIS NUTRITION INFORMATION IS FROM CALORIE COUNT.

I USED LITE WHIPPED TOPPING
LITE CHERRY PIE FILLING
SUGAR FREE CHEESE CAKE PUDDING
I MADE THIS OVER TO MAKE IT LIGHTER

I USE FAT FREE EVAPORATED MILK, HEALTHY REQUEST CREAM OF ...SOUP, AND FROZEN OR FRESH GREEN BEANS (THAW FIRST) TO REDUCE SODIUM AND FAT.
THE ONIONS KEEP THIS FROM BEING FAT FREE COMPLETELY

FROM THE CHEX MIX SITE I REDUCED SODIUM AND USED CANOLA OIL INCREASED SERVING SIZE TO 3/4 CUP. VERY EASY TO MAKE!

THIS IS A CRUMBLY DELISCIOUS DESERT COOKIE BAR FILLED WITH A CREAMY DELISCIOUS PEANUT BUTTER CENTER

THIS IS THE WAFFLE MIX I GET AT ALDI THAT HAS FEWER CALORIES AND LESS FAT THAN AUNT JEMMIMA

I ALSO USED 2 CUPS OF HOME MADE CHICKEN BROTH WITH NO SODIUM ADDED.
I COMBINE THE INGREDIENTS AND PUT THEM IN THE CROCK POT UNTIL THE CELERY IS DONE OR I'M READY TO EAT
THIS MAKES 6 LARGE SERVINGS OF SOUP
MAY SUBSTITUTE QUINOA FOR THE RICE

DRAIN CANNED YAMS (IT TAKES 1 1/2 SMALL 15 oz CANS)
THIS IS LOW FAT BECAUSE I USE REGULAR PIE CRUST

I USE REGULAR PIE SHELLS SO I CAN'T CALL THIS FAT FREE. BUT IT'S GREAT

I USE REFRIGERATOR CRUST BECAUSE I DON'T MAKE VERY GOOD CRUST. IF YOU CAN FIND A REDUCED FAT PIE CRUST LET ME KNOW!

BOIL WATER TO MAKE 5 SERVINGS OF GRITS MINUS 1/2 CUP (GRITS SHOULD BE A LITTLE THICK).
EMPTY GRITS INTO A SMALL MIXING BOWL ADD WATER AND GARLIC POWDER AND STIR.
OPEN THE TAMALES AND POUR THE SAUSE INTO THE GRITS MIXTURE.
ADD 3/4 CUP OF SHREDDED CHEESE AND MIX INTO THE GRITS.
I DIVIDE GRITS INTO 3 SMALL PYREX CASSAROLES SPRAYED WITH COOKING SPRAY SO I CAN HAVE THIS ON 3 SEPERATE OCCASIONS. OR YOU CAN PUT MIXTURE INTO A PYREX LOAF PAN SPRAYED WITH COOKING SPRAY. FOR SMALL CASSAROLES, BREAK TAMALE IN 1/2 AND PUSH VERTICALLY DOWN INTO THE GRITS SO JUST THE OPEN TOP OF THE GRITS MIXTURE.
SPRINKLE A LITTLE EXTRA SHREDDED CHEESE ON TOP (MAY BE ADDED LAST FEW MINUTES OF BAKING, I LIKE IT CRISPY).
YOU MAY FREEZE THE EXTRA SMALL CASSAROLES UNCOOKED BUT COVER TIGHTLY. BAKE ABOUT 375* TO 400* LONG ENOUGH TO HEAT THRU AND MAKE CHEESE BUBBLY.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 400*. COAT BAKING PAN WITH COOKING SPRAY.
COMBINE OATS, PECANS AND SEASONING IN A RESEALABLE PLASTIC BAG; SEAL AND SHAKE WELL.
MIX MILK AND EGG WHITE IN A SHALLOW BOWL. DIP FILLETS INTO EGG WHITE MIXTURE. PLACE TROUT IN THE BAG AND SHAKE UNTIL WELL COATED WITH OAT MIXTURE.
PLACE TROUT IN THE PAN AND BAKE FOR 10-12 MINUTES AND SERVE WITH DARK LEAFY GREENS.

SPRAY THE CROCKPOT WITH COOKING SPRAY

SOFTEN THE CREAM CHEESE IN THE MICROWAVE FOR 1/4 LB AND STIR INTO 1/2 CAN OF CREAM OF SOUP (WHICH EVER FLAVOR YOU PREFER). PLACE CHICKEN BREASTS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CROCK POT AND SEASON TO TASTE. POUR SOUP/CEAM CHEESE MIXTURE OVER THIS .
CHOP THE ONION AND GREEN PEPPER INTO LARGE CHUNKS AND 1/2 THE MUSHROOMS. ADD THE VEGETABLES THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS OF COOKING TIME SO THEY WILL NOT OVER COOK.
TURN THE CROCK POT ON LOW AND COOK UNTIL DONE.

1 GARLIC CLOVE MINCED
1 TSP EVOO
2 TSP LEMON JUICE
2 TSP LIGHT MAYONAISE
1/4 TSP WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
DASH OF BLACK PEPPER

PARMESAN ROMANO GRATED 1 TBSP

1/4 CUP SOFT BREAD CRUMBS

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350*
SPRAY CASSARLOLE DISH WITH COOKING SPRAY.
** IF YOU WANT TO SUBSTITUTE USE 2 SLICES OF REDUCED CALORIE WHEAT BREAD (57 grams).DICE BREAD AND PLACE IN THE BOTTOM OF A SMALL CASSAROLE DISH.)
SPRAY A SMALL CASSAROLE DISH AND POUR INGREDIENTS INTO THE DISH.
BAKE FOR 45 - 50 MINUTES OR UNTIL A KNIFE INSERTED IN THE CENTER COMES OUT CLEAN

MIX UP SALAD DRESSING AND POUR OVER THE ASSEMBLED SALAD. GREAT FOR HEALTHY FATS!

FOR A DINNER SALAD ADD:
GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST CUT IN STRIPS
ROASTED EGG PLANT (CUT FRESH EGGPLANT INTO 1/4 TO 1/2 " SLICES TOSS IN A BAG WITH EVOO AND DESIRED SPICES AND ROAST ON 400 * FOR 40 -60 MINUTES ALLOW TO COOL MAY STORE IN REFRIGERATOR)
ROASTED CHIC PEAS

THE RECIPE BUILDER DIDN'T LET ME ENTER FAT FREE WHICH IS WHAT I USE SO THIS IS A LITTLE OVER ON FAT GRAMS

HUNGRY GIRL HAS ALL KINDS OF VERSIONS OF THIS RECIPE. THIS IS MY FAVORITE.
