Chicken Salad W/ Pineapple Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Handle

Select One

6 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

Red peppers and pineapple add the pizazz to this summery salad; while the pineapple poppyseed dressing is what makes this dish shine! I've made it as a meal, but also makes a beautiful addition to a picnic.

Fast Creamy Baked Apples - Fat Free

Handle

Select One

26 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Apples are so good for you and make a wonderful dessert or even breakfast. This one is somewhere in between and best of all it doesn't have any fat! Can be ready start to finish in under 10 minutes - made in the microwave and can be easily scaled up or down for the number of people you're serving. If your looking to make this more dessert-like, include the optional toppings! WW points w/out optional ingredients = 1

Lemon Cheesecake

Handle

Select One

9 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

Easy enough for a beginner who has never baked a cheesecake! This reduced fat recipe has half the fat of comparable cheesecakes! If you can, make this one day ahead, the cheesecake is so much better after has fully chilled for a day.

Garlic Guacamole

Handle

Select One

11 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

No tomatoes in this guac - which makes it a great one for when fresh tomatoes aren't readily available. I often make it in the summer even when tomatoes are available as this is one of my favorite guacs - fair warning though, the garlic comes through loud and clear!! Course salt (I use sea salt) is smashed with the garlic and then combined with avocado, jalapeno and onions! Adapted from Rachel Ray

Mexican Chicken Soup

Handle

Select One

6 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

Spicy chicken soup topped with cilantro - super easy to throw together! Don't omit that cilantro, it really 'makes' this soup! Tortilla chips make a nice side to this... or even crush a few and top soup before serving. WW points w/out optional ingredients = 4/serving

Chickpea Salad Pitas

Handle

Select One

12 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

I make up this chickpea salad and keep it in the fridge for lunches all week long - store the extra cukes and red peppers covered in water and snack on them during the week too. Takes just a few minutes to prepare and keeps very well in a tightly sealed container. Also, good topped with feta and tomatoes just before serving.

Light Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Handle

Select One

11 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

I love chocolate chip cookie bars, I lightened them up to include more whole grains, less fat and sugar. These are not as dense as traditional chocolate chip cookie bars, but they are super quick and easy to make which makes them great for potlucks! If you don't plan to use the pear baby food, use butter in its place (applesauce would make the bars much too 'cake-like.' Sometimes I like to add a few mini-chocolate chips into the dough before spreading into the pan. WW points = 2/serving

Easy Pesto Shirataki Noodles

Handle

Select One

5 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

Pesto with Noodles :) I use a pre-made pesto and put this together for myself as a quick and light lunch. One package pesto adds 40 calories to this dish. Could also be doubled or quadrupled for a family meal or side dish.

Red Lentil Mulligatawny With Apple-Celery Salsa

Handle

Select One

7 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

Creamy red lentil soup with a refreshing salsa made of apple, celery and cilantro makes this surprisingly complex! If you like spicy, you could try adding some cayenne, curry paste or even red pepper flakes. From Cooking Light, March 2006. Note: Swanson's 99% fat free broth and Lite Coconut milk add 75 calories per serving; keeping each bowl under 300 calories - and these are big sized bowls!

Peanut Butter Fudge - Ww

Handle

Select One

7 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Select One

This recipe uses canned pumpkin and prepared brownie mix for an easy tasty treat that works with your diet. While not exactly like fudge, it is chocolately and peanut buttery and you get a very good size piece in one serving! Must be eaten with a fork - messy! The pumpkin flavor does come through some, so beware if you aren't a pumpkin fan. I make this recipe with a Betty Crocker Low Fat brownie mix.

5 Reviews | By Brooke the Cook in WI

Very easy quiche that uses fat-free yogurt, spinach, mushrooms and reduced fat swiss cheese. I find Alpine Lace reduced fat swiss in the deli at Wal-mart. You can also substitute egg beaters in place of the egg whites.
