    Baba ganoush, a Middle Eastern spread and dip is similar to hummus, but is made with eggplant instead of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). So if you are looking for a low calories spread and dip or even a snack this is it, and so tasty too! ENJOY!

    These flaky fish fillets get plenty of fresh flavor from onions and tomato, plus a little zip from cayenne pepper. This recipe is particular favorite of my family's. The fish doesn't get dry...it's moist and delicious. ENJOY!!

    Barbecued turkey legs and thighs. I grew up with plenty of meals made with turkey legs because they feed a lot, and they're an inexpensive source of protein. But no matter what time of year we're having turkey legs, as much as I love turkey, the taste always reminds me of Thanksgiving. In this preparation however, slowly cooked on a grill, and basted with a tangy, strong, sweet, sour yellow mustard-based barbecue sauce, the turkey doesn't taste anything like Thanksgiving turkey. It just absorbs the smokiness from the grill and the tang from the sauce. Outside of the holiday bird, this is hands down the best turkey I've ever had.

    While orange adds an exotic note, much of the flavor of this simple yet sophisticated candie comes from the chocolate, so choose a semisweet or bittersweet with a flavor and level of sweetness you enjoy. The recipe makes a big batch of truffles - plenty for gift-giving. Although they should be stored in the refrigerator, they're best served after sitting at room temperature for about 5 minutes. Believe it or not this is a low calorie treat. Well worth the time to prepare.

    This is a healthier version of a traditional cobbler, with canola oil in place of some of the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Unlike more classic biscuit-topped cobblers, the peaches and blueberries are nestled into a tender batter that swells around the fruit as it bakes. Other fruits may be substituted. It's especially beautiful when baked in and served right from a cast-iron skillet. Just made it yesterday for some company and it was a hit. It's really good and guilt free! ENJOY!!

    This recipe is a great source of protein and potassium.
    I can also order this breakfast sandwich when am out with friends or family in a restaurant, it's a favorite of mine to make at home.
    Smoked salmon and egg whites on a toasted whole-wheat English muffin is the perfect power breakfast. For a more substantial meal, pair it with a piece of fruit or a glass of 100% juice. Weight Watchers English muffins are smaller than regular muffins which makes the sandwich... ENJOY!

    This recipe is deliciously deceiving: Instead of starchy strands of pasta, it’s made with piles of healthy spaghetti squash, which is easily made in the microwave while you sauté turkey sausage, zucchini and onion, and chiffonade basil to layer on top. ENJOY!

    These appetizers are festive and colorful, and can easily be made the day ahead. Simply spoon the yolk mixture into the whites for a more casual look, or use a decorating bag with a large star tube for a more formal look. A great finger food and a wonderful classic appetizer. ENJOY!!

    "This recipe makes a deliciously moist turkey."
     
    Pull out all the stops and make this Thanksgiving dinner a traditional feast! So, polish your silver, pull out the family china and make your Thanksgiving dinner extra special.
     
    Classic dinner favorites plus some new ideas for this year's Thanksgiving Turkey.
    Roasted turkey is so juicy and flavorful when the bird is stuffed with stuffing,and seasonings. Butter under the breast skin keeps the meat juicy while the skin bakes crisp and brown. This really does make the juiciest turkey. ENJOY!!
