    A certain restaurant that we frequent serves the most delicious lettuce wraps. This is a close take on mimicking these tasty, lean wraps I just took a few things out to keep the calorie count down.
     
    This is not only absolutely delicious, but it is a great snack or lunch. For those of us
    that can eat chicken, this chicken has a dressing that goes over it to help keep it moist.
    Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy them cold as a snack for later! YUM So Incredible! ENJOY!!

    RECIPE OF THE DAY! LOW FAT-LOW CALORIE MAC & CHEESE
     
    Macaroni and cheese is perhaps the ultimate in comfort foods, but if you use regular cheese, butter for a roux and whole milk, that's an awful lot of fat calories. Here's a low fat macaroni and cheese that dispenses with the butter and substitutes reduced-fat cheese and nonfat milk for their full-fat counterparts. A great addition to our family meals. Your family will love the taste. Most Mac and cheese have so many calories about 900+ calories in a lot of recipes. Here it's only 203 calories how great is that. ENJOY!!

    What a fantastic recipe and so easy to make.
    Pork tenderloin is about as lean as it comes so it's a great healthy option, but it shouldn't be overcooked as it can dry out. Maple and mustard make a sweet-and-savory mahogany-colored sauce. A delicate note of sage gives it a wintery touch. Fresh thyme or rosemary also work if you prefer. Serve with barley, roasted squash and a Pinot Noir. What a satisfying dish. ENJOY!!

    These days, who can't use a little extra "help" in the kitchen? Eating on a budget is easy—and tasty. This recipe makes 4 servings for under $15.00.
    Less is more flavor! This simple yet flavorful black bean soup draws upon Italian and southwestern influences. I love this soup a regular at our house. When serving to kids I use less crushed red pepper to make it slightly less spicy. The soup "magically" turns slightly pink if you add fresh lemon to your bowl of soup. My husband calls this dish "Meal for a Deal Black Bean Soup" So that's what I named it.
    It's so hearty and yet low in calories! Definitely a great soup. ENJOY!!

    Who would believe you can make a hearty shepherd’s pie without meat and gravy?
    I have made this dish a few times. I added in a meat substitute and they had no idea! They all LOVED this dish! It was delicious and easy to make! It is now a family favorite!
    This recipe reheats beautifully in the microwave.
    Try the substitution of veggie burgers and 1 cup of veggies, it "Beefs" it up. ENJOY!!

    "Delicious! Love this as a snack.
     
    Making oven fries out of sweet potatoes brings out their inherent sweetness.
    This is a tasty side dish that can be added to any main course. Try this recipe today, and you will find it's delicious, easy to fix, and good for your family.
    Be careful of the time, they can burn. Check them a few times while cooking you want them to be crispy. ENJOY!

    THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY STAY AWAY FROM THIS RECIPE PLEASE!!!
     
    This is a very simple and quick dish that combines the standard pork chop with the wonderful flavor of peanuts. Even the kids loved it. This flavorful Thai dish makes a high protein meal, but also makes a great healthy holiday appetizer recipe! Just use smaller pieces of meat and serve on a platter with dipping sauce ... ENJOY!

    My mother has been making this soup for several years now. Stews for me are comfort foods and every time I makes this dish it reminds of my childhood. It is incredibly easy to make, given how tasty and how low in calories it is. Works well with white fish, I've used cod, tilapia, sole with good results. I also use clam juice some times, mmmmm... tasty. ENJOY!

    Here, pumpkin isn't just an ingredient, it's actually what you cook in, too, creating a charming container for a hearty stew. To make serving easier, choose a pumpkin that is squat and wide, rather than tall and narrow.
     
    Tender spicy beef stew steams inside a glorious golden pumpkin, which makes a beautiful presentation. This beautiful dish can be server with a salad or soup. My friends and family so love this dish it never fails to wow them every time. ENJOY!

    Ratatouille is a traditional French Provincial dish. Ratatouille is usually served as a side dish, but also may be served as a meal on its own accompanied by pasta or rice. It was originally an everyday dish prepared in the summer with fresh summer vegetables. The original Ratatolha de Niça or Ratatouia Nizzarda used only zucchini, tomatoes, green and red peppers (bell peppers), onion, and garlic. The dish known today as ratatouille adds eggplant (aubergine) to that mixture.
    The word ratatouille comes from Occitan ratatolha and the recipe comes from Occitan cuisine. ENJOY! BON APPETITE!!
