SkinnyTaste Recipies

yes i LOVE her recipes!
i plan on using a few for a st patricks shindig i am throwing (the slow cooker corned beef and hash, turning the shepherds pie recipe vegetarian, and the chocolate stout baileys cupcakes).
she has some yummy vegetarian recipes, i use the meat ones too and just sub it for meatless grounds or tofu or something.
but yeah that site is amazing.
i made the eggplant parm she had listed and it was so good!

I made the baked spaghetti squash chicken parmesan boats recently. A bit over 300 cals per serve and very filling. Delish too. I am thinking of making the cheeseburger casserole next.

Great recipes! Just made here Turkey Meat Loaf....Delicious!

So wait, now people are complaining that others use a website for recipes instead of...something? Their mom's recipe box?

I mean really, just stop trolling.

This site is great, has great ideas and I love everything I have tried.

I also didn't find the portion sizes to be small. As for a small piece of pie after dinner as oppossed to a giant piece....better than no pie? What are you looking for a 200 calorie entire pie?

I love SkinnyTaste! The first time I found it was on Pinterest and now I'm addicted. I've used it to sneak my dad what he calls "Rabbit food" (anything healthier) without him noticing. He's a 6'3 retired marine; I can't eat like him His favorite is the turkey chili!

Great website. Try the Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken! So simple and super delicious! Even my fiance who is anti-healthy recipes likes most of the recipes I try from there.

^^THIS!!

Yummy plus leftovers makes excellent topping for salads.

I made this yesterday and it's a huge hit with my family. I even had some for lunch today over brown rice and it tasted even better.

If you mean my post, then I'm sorry if you were offended. There was no intent to troll, and I think you've got the wrong end of the stick! The OP had asked if anybody had visited the site and seemed to be looking for opinions on it so I gave mine. As I said, recipe websites like those are useful if you want to have the calories precounted. This one is particularly useful for people who need to know the WW points. I also suggested another website with similar recipes. Personally, I find following new recipes can be a bit of a faff, so I usually prefer to use websites like these to get ideas so that I can adapt my own recipes (some of which are already quite similar to the recipes on the Skinny Taste).

200 calories is too small for a main meal for me, personally, but it might be fine for a snack or small meal. It also gets complicated because I'm usually cooking for other people who are bigger eaters. So the 9-portion recipe that was quoted - I might want 1 1/2 to 2 portions, somebody else might want 3 portions, and suddenly the easy calorie counting isn't quite so easy!

I just started making recipes from her site and I've been really happy with what I've made so far! My family LOVED the slow cooker chicken tacos. Like, I've made them 3 times in the past month - my 3 year old gobbled them up! (though, I skipped the slaw that she put on it and just put tomatoes and lettuce on instead). We also really liked the spinach lasagna roll-ups. I made a shrimp pasta last week from the site as well that was really tasty (though for the life of me I can't remember what it was called!).

Like others mentioned, sometimes the portions are a little small. So I just plan on eating 2 portions (and then if I don't, I have extra calories for dessert!). The tacos definitely only served 3 (well, 2 1/2 - me, my husband, and my 3 year old!), and I think I had enough of the lasagna rolls leftover that at least one of us took them for lunch.

Bumpers!

Someone may have already said this but ALWAYS calculate the nutrition instead of going by what is posted on the website. Not saying that her calculations are incorrect but due to different brands of products and "light" vs. "low fat" vs. "reduced fat," etc.. macros can be way off. Additionally, the portion sizes are really small. Everything I have made is tasty though!

Love the site! I've made Crockpot Picadillo several times, give it a try!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! skinnytastes.com I made the cheeseburger casserole the other night for the first time! It was fabulous! Just like everything I have made from the site! I have been cooking things from this site for about six months now and I have still to find something I don't care for. It is a great way to change up your food with staying in your calories. Some of the things I have made are like, there is no way that is healthy, but it is!!!!! Well as long as you stay in the proper serving sizes of course.

I can't get over how many people have a issue with the severing sizes? I make the food all the time and I have lots a healthy vegetables with what ever I chose to make and I am full I couldn't even imagine eating more. Try the Spinach Prosciutto and Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Skinny Garlic Mashed Potatoes and some veggies! Best dinner ever!
