So, I've had the "Casserole" bug for about the past three months. My fiance loves them! I hope you enjoy this one, it's really very simple and cheap:

One bag of frozen Broccoli
One bag of frozen Edamame
Any amount of Artichoke Hearts
Fat-Free Red Pepper or Italian Salad Dressing
Cayenne pepper
Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix all listed ingredients in a large bowl.
Add desired amounts of Salad Dressing (just enough to coat ingredients).
Add desired amounts of Cayenne Pepper and Sea Salt.
Mix ingredients, and place into casserole dish lightly coated in olive oil.
Place in oven for 35-45 minutes.

Enjoy!

Here is a dessert
FRZN Peanutbutter Delight or you can use same recipe for a peanut butter pie

1 8 oz Fat free cool whip (i get fat free/sugar free)
1/2 cup of peanut butter any kind I use a cup sometimes lol or replace it with nutella
Sugar free chocolate syrup
& banana's (optional)
cup cake wrappers

You can also make a lower fat graham cracker crust if you didn't want to make it as cupcakes


Let the cool whip get to room tempature then mix in the peanut butter and set in cup cake pan with wrappers and then if your using banana's you can put a few slices on the top then drizzle with the sugar free chocolate syrup and freeze for a couple hours and BAM!!! LOL u have a great treat! Also great served in a low fat pie crust!!

OMG I want this RIGHT NOW! LOL! Thanks for sharing! I SUCK at desserts and baking, but these sound 'idiot proof'!

I actually made these tonight & they are AWESOME!!! I am a math geek & took the time to figure out exactly how many calories etc were in them..
I used 1L tub of low fat cool whip, 3/4 cup kraft reg. p-butter, and 1 tbsp of Smuckers chololate syrup on each...
EACH have: 96.97 cal, 4.87g fat, 5.71g sugar, 29.70mg sodium... all of which can be reduced if u use low fat p-butter!

Thanks for the breakdown

skinnytaste.com is one of the best sites out there!

Made this last night.....super easy and tasty! The hardest part is cutting up all the cabbage, but well worth it!!

Ingredients:
2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 lb. 95% lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped fine
1 tbsp finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp sweet Hungarian Paprika
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 heads green cabbage, coarsely chopped
1 can (14.5 oz.) petite dice tomatoes with juice
1 can (15 oz.) tomato sauce
1/4 cup water
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups low-fat mozzarella cheese (Sargento)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large glass casserole dish with non-stick spray. (My dish was 13" x 10")
Heat a large frying pan on medium heat; add ground beef and cook until it's browned and cooked through,
breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove ground beef and set aside.
In the same pan, add 1 tsp olive oil, chopped onion and cook over medium heat until the onion is
translucent and starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, and paprika and
cook about 2 minutes more. Then add the diced tomatoes with juice, tomato sauce, and ground beef. Add
water to the pan. Simmer until it's hot and slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
While it simmers, cut cabbage in half, cut out the core, and remove any wilted outer leaves; chop the
cabbage coarsely into 1 inch pieces.
Heat remaining olive oil in a large frying pan or dutch oven; add the cabbage and cook over medium-high
heat until the cabbage is wilted and about half cooked, turning it over several times so it all wilts and cooks.
Season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
When the meat and tomato sauce mixture has cooked and thickened a bit, stir in the 2 cups of cooked rice
and gently combine.
Spray casserole dish with non-stick spray and the layer half the cabbage, half the meat mixture, remaining
cabbage, and remaining meat mixture. Cover tightly with foil and bake 40 minutes, or until the mixture is just
starting to bubble on the edges.
Remove foil and sprinkle on cheese (if using.) Bake uncovered an additional 20 minutes, or until the
cheese is melted and starting to slightly brown. Serve hot.
Freezer friendly if you have leftovers. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and then either microwave
until hot or heat in the oven in a glass dish covered with foil.

so much is easy to cook, if you eat chicken, get a breast and put on tin foil, fold the edges of foil up so it forms a kind of parcel, but before you 'close it up' drizzle smidgen (tablespoon or less) of olive oil over it, some black pepper and tiny bit of salt, add some crushed garlic and close, bake in the oven on medium high heat for approximately 35-40 mins, until the juices run clear and it is cooked all the way thru, check it at about 30mins and adjust time accordingly. its low cal (most cals are in the oil, which you probably could skip) then serve it with anything, from sald, to boiled vegetable, carrots, peas, broccoli, green beans, asparagus, whatever you fancy and a few potatoes, I tend to boil 4 or 5 new potatoes or one large potato cut up, dont bother peeling although if you dont like the skin on large potatoes you can peel, add a little salt or vegetable stock cube to the water you boil the potatoes in, will give them a nice flavour.

you can also serve this with roasted vegetables, delicious. just be careful how much oil you are using. remember to put the firmest largest vegetables in the oven earlier than softer quicker vegetables and bung everything in the same baking tray if poss, that way you will use less oil.

can also do a ratatouille type casserole with chicken or sausages, or just about anything, I use vegetarian sausages, chop up desired veges, i usually go for tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, courgette, mushrooms, leek, onion and garlic, put the onion garlic and leek in the pan with a little oil to brown, then add the other veges (mushrooms last tho) pour in a tin of chopped tomatoes or passata, cook until the firmest vegetable is tender (usually carrots if using them) cook the sausages under the grill or chicken as mentioned before, or cut up chicken or tofu and fry in little oil, (emember to measure your oil for calories) cook potatoes or rice or mash potato to serve. delicious.and also great meals for non weight loss pple :-)
