Low Calorie Meringue Cookies

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 00:38:36 +0000

These meringue cookies are so light and airy, yet full of chocolate flavor. In fact, I like to make a batch of these meringue cookies to satisfy my chocolate cravings. Be sure not to over-mix your meringue, as this could cause the cookies to fall.

Low Calorie Chocolate Mint Cookies

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:55:56 +0000

I love making these low calorie chocolate mint cookies for Christmas. They are so tasty and pretty that they make great gifts for friends and neighbors.

Mint-flavored chocolate chips can be found in the grocery store around holiday time. If you have a hard time tracking down the mint chips, however, this recipe is equally as delicious using semi-sweet chocolate chips or peanut-butter chips.

Low Calorie Turkey and Cream Enchiladas

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 12:24:32 +0000

These turkey and cream enchiladas are especially easy to make when you have leftover turkey to use. While the general rule of thumb is to use leftover food within three days of its original serving date, you may have frozen some of your Thanksgiving turkey and thus can use it in this tasty dish. Serve with a heatlhy portion of vegetables for a healthy and lean dinner.

This turkey panini recipe calls for deli turkey. But, when I have turkey leftovers from Thanksgiving, this panini is excellent with roasted turkey breast! I serve it with some fresh fruit for a light, yet filling dinner.

Low Calorie Parsley Mashed Potatoes

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:33:36 +0000

I love using yukon golds for my mashed potatoes. They are one of the more waxy potato varieties, which makes them excellent for mashing. Not only do they have a nice buttery appearance, but they also have a smooth buttery texture, making it easy to omit the real butter.
