If you like cottage cheese you can make a bed of chopped veggies of your choice and top with a conservative amount of cottage cheese and salsa. I love celery, cukes, tomatoes, snap peas and onions. You can get stuffed on under 250 calories and get your protein as well.

Avgolemono Soup is a treat. This is a super quick version. SUPERFAST AVGOLEMONO SOUP 6 cups chicken broth 3⁄4 cup leftover rice* 3 eggs 1 lemon, juice of DIRECTIONS Bring broth to boil in saucepan, and add rice.

I love hummus and celery or sugar snap peas or cukes. Also I'll stuff myself with watermelon.

Good strong English breakfast tea, like PG Tips, with a splash of milk is very hearty

Ground Turkey and Peppers Olive oil 1 chopped onion, including some chopped greens from scallions or green onions 2 bell peppers (red or yellow preferred), chopped 2 large celery…

This recipe was insanely delicious and super flexible, since you can add or subtract from the veggie amounts. I used turkey breakfast sausage and 2% Cracker Barrel Cheddar, and also dumped in some cottage cheese(~1cup) I needed to use up. Super filling and comforting. Husband went nuts over this. Low Carb Sausage, Mushroom…

I love CC with fruit, especially the way my Mom used to eat it. She would cut a cantaloupe in half, scoop out the seeds, plop in some CC, and devour :) Also CC and watermelon...mmmm... I also sometimes add some CC to Campbell's Tomato Soup as a cheesy-tomatoey treat. It melts a bit and makes the soup heartier.

Chop finely cucumber, scallion, and radish. Add to CC in whatever amounts you like-I like lots of crunch. Season with fresh cracked pepper and salt to taste. Mmmm.

That is just brilliant! And it speaks to my inner cheapskate - I hate wasting even a drop of my cooking . My most used utensil is my spatula ;) Thank you for this idea!

I also do the hard-boiled eggs. You can boil up a dozen on the weekend and that way you will have them handy. They will last a week unpeeled in the fridge.

This sounds very good and comforting. I must try it out on my husband--thanks!

If you're a Southern girl who likes her collards, here is a healthy version of collards, which cook only 45 min and are incredibly tasty and super low-cal for a big portion. I also add a smoked turkey wing or leg on the advice of another FPer, add back the meat and treat my dogs to the skin.…

I would plan to have a green salad and an entrée, and see if you can get yourself and everyone on board with serving and eating that salad FIRST, and not along with the meal. This is a great way to fill up on your veggies and therefore be less tempted by 2nds of the more caloric stuff. You can make your own…

I've got my version of this in my crockpot right now. I have shallots and onions, garlic, a can of Rotel tomatoes and chilis, a can of green chilis, and a can of green enchilada sauce, plus some not-so-great grape tomatoes I want to get rid of. It will be so tasty tonight--brrrrrrrrr.....

I like Mark Bittman's simple recipe for Egg Drop Soup. Its best made with homemade chicken stock, but store bought will do :wink: Egg Drop Soup: INGREDIENTS 4 cups chicken stock 4 eggs 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste Salt, if necessary, and freshly ground black pepper to taste 1/2 cup chopped scallions, both white and…

If you like Indian flavors, you can add turmeric and cumin to your lentils. I also love spinach with them; also have added okra, kale, peas, whatever I have. LOVE lentils!

I have the free ColorNote app on my phone and my Kindle Fire, which syncs itself. When I find a recipe online, I copy and paste it there. Its terrific! Especially since I can bring the phone into the store to get the right ingredients. I also bookmark recipes on my laptop. I also have a Recipe Box on Allrecipes.com and…

Just take the skin off, or if you don't trust yourself to do this without stuffing it into your mouth :wink: have Mom do it. You can season as Twoodley says w/S&P and broth(sounds really good!) or put some jarred salsa on top. Even a little low-cal Italian dressing or any other low-cal dressing you like. BBQ sauce isnt too…

A good stockpot is worth its weight in chicken and other homemade soups: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Commercial-Heavy-Gauge-Stainless-Induction/dp/B000FNK43A/ref=sr_1_9?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1387069280&sr=1-9&keywords=stock+pot When not in use, I store stuff in it:bigsmile:

Next time, try using chicken wings - they give the most flavor and collagen (when the broth is refrigerated, it gets like Jello. This is a good thing :wink: ) You can throw in some thighs or breasts if you want meat for your soup. Don't forget to skim the scum that develops in the beginning of boiling, or the chicken taste…

that was the MOST DROOL-WORTHY MOVIE SAM EVAH!!!
