This is more of a lunch/snack, but it's reallly yummy. A wheat tortilla or wrap..whatever you want to call it. Spread peanut butter and cinnamon on it, put apples, rasins or granola on it and roll it up. My kids even love them. We tried to start eating more natural stuff this summer. So, now we eat lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains.

I love making pita pizzas when I am craving pizza! Get a whole wheat pita (you can even find low carb ones), split it in half and toast it. Then add pizza sauce, part-skim mozzarella cheese, turkey pepperoni, and whatever veges you like. Pop it back in the toaster oven until the cheese is gooey. Satisfies that pizza craving for waaaay less calories.

My favorite low-cal food blog: http://www.skinnytaste.com/
Weight Watchers crockpot recipes (a lifesaver when you have no time to cook!): https://docs.google.com/open?id=1h9HPuAaYU_2AbpNv76g96ZGEBNsv037fpBff-796cnUb4T-Uv-LUvk4gohFv

Allrecipes.com also has a healthy food section. Hope those help!

I'm a huge fan of Hungry Girl though a lot of her recipes waste ingredients if you're making just one portion. One that I can't pass up when I'm having a enchilada cravings (native southern Californian... I miss good Mexican food) is the Lean Bean Cheesy enchiladas

Another favorite - thaw a chocolate Vitatop (freezer section), put it in a food processor for a few seconds till it's all crumbly, and then layer it with vanilla Greek yogurt and fresh cut strawberries. Healthy breakfast that tastes like dessert.

ooooo.... I love healthy recipes, I need some new ones becuase we are getting sick of what we keep eating...lol

I have a bunch of weight watcher recipes that are yummy... I would say my favorite is shredded chicken with cream cheese sauce.

You put 2 pounds of chicken in a crock pot, with an italian seasoning packet and half cut of water. cook for 8 hours on low. after 8 hours, shred the chicken with the fork and then milk cream of celery and 8 oz cream cheese (it says the neufesal? something like that) and mix! It is yummy, we put it on bread (open face sandwich) or potato or crackers!

Ohh Tiffany I have a really similar recipe that I loooove! Put chicken breasts in the crockpout (I season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes) with a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of cream of celery soup (98% fat free). Cook for about 8 hours and add a half a cup of lowfat sour cream about half an hour before serving.

It creates a really yummy sauce so I cut up the chicken and serve over rice.
