    Although this was absolutely delicious... It's only a 3/4 cup serving for 387 calories

    Recipe from Cooking Light September 2011 issue

    A couple of pics I posted in the past couple of weeks elsewhere on this site:

    Shrimp Curry - made with Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut Milk, it's a respectable 237 calories (and 11g of fat) without the rice:

    Lighter chicken parmesan baked with panko crumbs, served with homemade heirloom tomato marinara sauce, spaghetti and acorn squash. A 2.75oz cutlet has 189 calories and 5g of fat:

    Lighter chicken salad with seedless red grapes, and half mayonnaise, half greek yogurt for the dressing, served with a side of skinnytaste's baked onion rings. 3oz serving of the chicken salad = 116 calories, 6g of fat.

    fallenangel - your beignet ritual is wonderful! It's not a big deal to burn 120 or so calories if you ever find you need to. :) All your dishes look wonderful, but the ravioli... YUM! I just made a batch of pesto a couple of days ago... and i have some homemade butternut squash ravioli in the freezer... hmmm...

    regina - the fish looks fantastic! and the candy apple slices are just cute-fun! I probably won't look at the shrimp alfredo pics again for a while... too much yum! :D

    My mission here is to make a healthier lifestyle... but it has to be something I can live with. I'm totally willing to be more careful about the foods I love (like pasta and chocolate and...) and I understand the need to make room for them in my overall plan. I won't live without them! :)

    Nikkie that shrimp looks soooo good I may need the recipe on that one!

    The pesto actually had spinach in it too so it was super healthy! A little basil goes a long ways!

    YUM! What an excellent thread. I will have to post some photos next time I get a chance to cook . . . I bought some chanterelle mushrooms this weekend that are just waiting to be sauteed and tossed in pasta.

    Kiwi--- those scallops look wonderful! How evil are the stuffed peppers? My weekly produce delivery brought me 4 bull's horn peppers and I'm not quite sure what to do with them yet...

    I didn't really like the taste of the pepper itself, from what I remember it was pretty hot though. I was expecting the pickled-banana pepper flavor.

    We just put a mixture of cheeses inside (cream cheese is all I remember).

    A healthier option might be to stuff it with a meat/vegetable type picture. Sauteed anything + egg and or ground beef would be pretty nice, mix it all with (strained) salsa so it'll bind.

    Or straightup cheese-filled and live a little.

    If you're grillin em, you'll wanna do em fast on high-heat, so they sear but the insides don't all goo out. Or cover them in foil and bake.

    Used to work at a bbq restaurant (busters bbq) so we experimented a lot.

    Take a cabbage, invert it and hollow it out, fill with a mixture of bacon, onions, bbq sauce and smoke/bbq it on low. After 2-3 hours it goes tender and you can slice it into wedges, actually turns out pretty amazing.

    I'm a super-huge fan of smoking or grilling anything. Especially things that aren't meant to be grilled!
