I have an easy three-ingredient recipe for you for a tasty entree that is easy to prepare and provides a good amount of protein:
10 ounces of canned tuna packed in water
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup egg substitute (or two eggs)

Over the winter I consumed a lot of soup, not only for the lower calorie alternative to other choices but to help me stay warm too! One thing I tried to do is exchange some of the sodium-packed canned varieties with healthier alternatives that still had a great flavor. One thing I found was a [...]
A few days ago, Zoe posted a comment that helped me get past the feelings I was having after hosting the Superbowl party at my house. She also mentioned “white chili” and how it was a nice variation on traditional chili. I couldn’t agree more! She provided this recipe for white chili from the allrecipes.com [...]

1 packet of chili [...]

All you do is mix 1/2 cup light mayo with 1 tablespoon of [...]
My husband pointed out a recipe in last week’s paper to me and asked if I would try it. It was for minestrone soup. I love minestrone soup, especially the stuff at my favorite restaurant, Mama Mia’s. The Olive Garden minestrone isn’t bad either.

I’ve looked all over the basement for the hot air popper I used to have in college, but could not find it. I like microwave popcorn, but I remember trying actually popping kernels of corn in a brown paper bag in the past and decided to try it again. The kids got a [...]
I recently was watching a video that included a recipe for chicken tortilla soup. Thinking that it sounded really good and knowing how low-calorie soups are good for those counting calories, I decided to try something that resembled it. I did stray from the actual ingredients a bit, adding more things than what [...]
