"This recipe comes from the Weight Watchers website but I had to share it here because it's absolutely fabulous.

The garlic and thyme blend with the sweet and savory flavors to perfection--you will not believe your mouth! You..."

Ingredients: dried thyme, fat-free chicken broth...

"This is typical of lenten dishes from Lebanon. Rich in fiber and nutrients, it makes for a wonderful one dish meal or a substantial side dish. The original comes from a 1997 issue of Eating Well magazine but has been modified to suit my tastes. If you replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, this is a vegan dish as well."

Ingredients: cilantro, brown lentils...

"At first glance, the origins of this dish may be a bit confusing. We associate risotto with Italia and the spices are North African. Truth be told, the dish is actually from Cyprus. Bulgur is a frequent menu item for me and I'm looking forward to trying this one as pumpkins become more readily available in the market. The original recipe calls..."

Ingredients: cinnamon sticks, winter squash...

"Love couscous? Then this one may be for you. A fluffy bed of semolina topped with a rich wintery stew of squash ahd tomatoes. What's not to like? Described as a side dish, this would be a great meatless meal. Recently snagged this one from the Internet and posting here for safekeeping."

Ingredients: cinnamon, couscous...

"From the October 2009 issue of More magazine. I used sugar-free pancake syrup in place of the honey, and dried parsley flakes... I didn't have any mint, so I skipped that, and I left out the almonds due to personal preference. I also very stupidly didn't see the "salt and pepper to taste" part, but anyway, the cumin flavor is very..."

Ingredients: ground cumin, cooking spray...

"I love the flavors in this dish, and it is very quick and easy to make. It makes a good side dish, or can stand on its own. It is quite healthful as well, suitable for a diabetic diet, or vegetarian diet. Search online for 'quinoa', and you will learn its nutritional benefits if you have not already discovered them."

"I heard an interview on NPR with Dorie Greenspan, the author of a cookbook called "Around My French Table." The author describes this as a great dish that far surpasses the description or list of ingredients. She also says there are a million variation -- use rice instead of bread, add nuts, apples, spinach, etc. The recipe I'm posting..."

Ingredients: pepper, fresh chives...

"This is a delicious, savory vegetarian recipe with butternut squash and cheese. The original recipe called for Gruyere but I used sharp cheddar instead. I think both would work quite well. This was my first time using quinoa in a recipe, and I'm really hooked. The little quinoa spirals are filled with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, making..."

Ingredients: eggs, gruyere cheese...
