So I found this book of Hungry Girl recipes at a friends apartment and I found myself copying these down by hand because the recipes seemed incredible for the cals. Anyone else heard of this book, used these recipes, etc? I'll share a recipe with ya'll that I thought was good since I crave these all the time:

Chili Cheese Nachos

7oz. baked tortilla chips
1 c low fat veggie or turkey chili
3/4 c salsa
1/2 c light soymilk
3 oz. fat free block cheddar cheese
1 wedge laughing cow original swiss cheese
2 Tbs fat free cream cheese
2 Tbs fat free sour cream

Place all the cheeses in a saucepan w/ soymilk. Heat over low heat stirring often until all the cheese has melted. Heat chili according to package directions. Microwave the chips until warm. Spread the chips on a platter and pour cheese over the chips. Top with chili. Spoon salsa and sour cream over the top.

Let me know if anyone has tried any of these, likes them, hates them, anything?

her stuff is great but she is really likes to use artifical sweetners and meat subsitutes and egg beater which I can't feed my kids or husband that stuff- they wouldn't allow it.. . her desserts are great ideas too, might be able to get the kids to eat that stuff. cool ideas for sure thought!
