Eatingwell.com had a good article or whatever you want to call it with a bunch of chocolate cake recipes. I made the one bowl chocolate cake and it was dense and delicious! I made it with regular sifted whole wheat flour insted of buying whole wheat pastry flour and it turned out great. Warning... I am not responsible for…

Thanks! I wasn't sure because on the website it says that the under 5 grams of fat subs don't include cheese, but the others do. It's a little confusing. It seemed low for bacon AND cheese though. Either way it was still a nice treat for less calories than I thought.

You could try the hungry girl version of faux fried chicken using fiber one. I've had a few of her fiber fried recipes and they're really good, and filling! http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/725

I posted these under a different topic a while back, but they are some of my favorites: Nutritional info will be based on the specific products you use. Of course these are good in moderation, but it's nice when those of us who are counting calories feel like we get to join in the football fun! Turkey Sliders (adapted from…

Hungry girl pumpkin enchiladas! Oh so delish! http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/1293 I also like to mix it into risotto with a little sage and red pepper flake. Yum!

I'm not a vegetarian either, but I eat a ton of frozen vegetables when they aren't in season. My grocery store often has the "steamers" on sale 10 for $10. I like to take the broccoli and cheese and mix it with 1 serving of whole wheat rotini for a giant bowl of mac and cheese with not too many calories. It's pretty cheap…

For what it's worth to everyone, I made the lasagna soup last night and it is amazing! I made it with ground turkey and broken up whole grain spaghetti noodles because that's what I had on hand. I had left-overs for lunch and the noodles soaked up a lot of the broth and it was more like spaghetti bolognaise (sp?). It's…

The brand is Kitchen Basics. I get it at Kroger, and I've seen it at Walmart too. Good luck finding it! I use it in everything.

Hungry Girl's go fish tacos! I use the left-over avocado to make quacamole that I serve over lettuce with diced tomatoes and salsa. The hubby loves this one too! http://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/1514

I used no salt stock, but the nutrition calculator I used doesn't recognize that so I just know to take that number with a grain of salt (haha, get it?). Shout out to the kitchen basics no salt beef and chicken stocks! They are life savers in my cooking!

These are so filling too!

NAME OF RECIPE: Chicken with Broccoli INGREDIENTS: 6 oz chicken breast 2 tbsp flour 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 cups broccoli florets 1 cup chicken stock 2 tbsp lite soy sauce 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes DIRECTIONS: Slice chicken very thin and toss with flour. Heat oil in large pan over medium high…

Breakfast is my favorite meal on the weekends, but I just can't make time for it during the week. The past couple of weekends I have made eatingwell.com's waffles. The recipe makes 6 large waffles (1 per serving) which is too many for me and my husband so I have been breaking them into fourths and freezing them. I pop two…

Lately I've been bringing two small pieces of chocolate to work (the ghirardelli squares are perfect for this!). I eat one right after lunch and one at like 3 pm. It's just the right amount of sweetness to get me through the day without breaking the calorie bank. Right now I'm addicted to the ghirardelli dark chocolate…

Thank you so much for the recipes, evansh01! Can't wait to try them. I've made the 30-minute rips and the Mexican lasagna before, but totally forgot about them.

I just put this into a calculator and it was not good. This is the second WW recipe that I've seen this week that has outlandish calories! Nutrition Facts Serving Size 255 g Amount Per Serving Calories 949Calories from Fat 514 % Daily Value* Total Fat 57.1g88% Saturated Fat 14.7g73% Trans Fat 0.1g Cholesterol 197mg66%…

I'm going to bump this again... my Colts lost, so I'll have time to focus on what to eat! Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip (lightened up from the Crockpot Lady http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/02/crockpot-buffalo-wing-dip.html) 1.5 cups cooked chicken - shredded or diced 2 cups fat free blue cheese salad dressing 1/4-1/2…

I microwave with mine too! And I'm going to try these fajitas... yum! I really should stop researching recipes so close to lunch time. :laugh:

I recently mixed butternut squash puree into rissoto and added cayenne pepper and parmesan cheese. It was delish! My husband didn't even complain that we weren't having meat for dinner. You can also mash up butternut or acorn squash purre with some brown sugar and butter and it's delish (it doesn't take much so still…

Does the chocolate melt on the popcorn or it is more like trail mix where they are still separate? Either way it sounds great!

Go to their website and do an advanced search. They put nutrition info on all their recipes. I've only made the white chicken chili. I halve the recipe and my husband and I each eat a huge bowl for less than 500 calories with a little left-over for lunch the next day. I also use boneless skinless chicken breast instead of…

What is this cauli pizza crust? I've never heard of it! Pizza crust with cauliflower??? Please share and let us know how it turns out! And also, thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to try it with some fake-out chinese!

Hungry Girl's butternut squash fries are SO GOOD!! We had the bacon ranch ones over the weekend and will definitely be trying every kind. I was surprised at how crispy they got... I always have troubles getting my sweet potato fries crispy so I may have to try some of these techniques for those. I bet kids will love them,…

This is from eatingwell.com. We're having it for dinner tonight. I plan to use dijon mustard and nutmeg in the cheese sauce instead of tumeric because I don't have any tumeric and that is normally what i'd put in a cheese sauce. Sounds delish though! I'm also subbing in ground turkey. Broccoli, Beef & Potato Hotdish From…

I made this last week and it was delicious and filling! My only suggestion would be to use a little less broth... I would have preferred it to be a little thicker. DH and I topped it with crumbled turkey bacon and 2% shredded cheddar. It reheated well for left-overs last night. This is a must try!

Blend together 1 container of yogurt (I'm a fan of the yoplait light selections) and blend with a 1/2 cup or so of frozen fruit. If it's too tart you can add a little drizzle of honey. It makes a really creamy soft-serve style frozen yogurt. Yum!

Last week I had some broccoli and cauliflower that were about to go bad so I threw together this soup. It turned out delicious and made a ton of soup! 2 tbsp butter tbsp extra virgin olive oil 3 stalks of celery diced 1/2 onion diced 1 head cauliflower cut into small pieces 1 bunch (head?) broccoli cut into small pieces 4…

I am addicted to her website and this soup is a huge hit in my house! It's a great replacement for chinese take-out.

I think it's a great idea! One of my main "re-used" meals is a two-meal crock pot creation. For the first night I will make standard beef pot roast: Layer potatoes, carrots, onions, and roast in your crock pot. Season with salt, pepper and whatever you like (Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb is delish!). Sometimes I'll top with a…

I know I've made a cooking light recipe from my cookbook "5 ingredients 15 minutes", but this is the closest I can find online and it's not in a crock pot. I know I used a package of frozen gumbo mix vegetables, which would reduce the # of ingredients, but it still wouldn't be 5. I will try to remember to post the recipe…
