Dark chocolate is healthier than the milk variety, but when I am in the mood for something a little more interesting, I make a delicious dark chocolate bark like this one with toasted pistachios and dried cranberries.
These chocolate cupcakes are an amazing feat at only 120 calories! They start with ordinary cake mix but the secret is to substitute canned pumpkin for the oil and egg yolks you would normally use. The flavor is masked by the rich chocolate!
Pumpkin and black beans may not seem like the perfect match, but this soup will definitely prove otherwise. Savor it on chili days!
This is a quick and easy yet refined appetizer with creamy pesto, sweet apples and peppery arugula for a little bite!
These smothered nachos are actually made with sweet and crunchy red bell pepper pieces in place of high- calorie and high-fat tortilla chips.
The dressing has a nice tartness to offset the sweet strawberries!
This Burrito has everything you need for a well balanced breakfast and then some!
This recipe is proof that you dont actually need a giant copper kettle to get all of the salty/sweet flavor of carnival kettle corn at home.
These luxurious cheesecake squares have only 3 grams of fat in each. Thats as much as 20 times less fat than you'd get in a slice of restaurant cheesecake! With stats like that, choosing these couldn't be any easier.
This thick and creamy Italian White Bean Dip makes a delicious alternative to high-fat ranch or French-onion vegetable dips
This recipe not only makes 12 packed skewers of grilled chicken in an Asian Peanut Marinade but also 6 grilled vegetable skewers to serve alongside them.
The inside of spaghetti squash is stringy just like spaghetti pasta, so it makes a great low-carb, low-calorie substitute to the real thing.
Here is one of my favorite fall treats! I love almond milk in my smoothies because it's so rich and creamy and low calorie. And, almond milk is a good option for lactose intolerance or soy allergies.
My kids love these fries and I like that its a healthy twist on a classic snack. They are an excellent source of beta-carotene and vitamin C- both are antioxidants with disease- fighting properties!
I got sick of spending tons of money on packaged bars so I decided to create my own recipe.
Fall is here and it is my favorite time of year! I love cooking with canned pumpkin because it is low in carbohydrate, low in calories and has a high nutritional value. These pancakes are a family favorite!
I got sick of spending tons of money on packaged bars so I decided to create my own recipe. Not only do my kids love these bars, but so do their friends. I make batches of these and keep them in my freezer. When they are individually wrapped, the kids just grab and go. Adults love them too – they are healthy and satisfying. And you will be thrilled when your kids are begging for more – they don’t even realize they are eating flax seed and walnuts….keep it your secret!
I'm a smoothie lover. This is my favorite recipe...I promise you won't even taste the spinach but your body will benefit. It's my GREEN MACHINE, everybody loves it!
Try this flavorful dip as an alternative to the typical ranch dip. It’s great for summer BBQs — and always a big hit.
This is a great idea for an appetizer next time you entertain or as a healthy, easy snack!
