Apple or Pear Crisp for One

Posted by TGirl,RN  

I used a Braeburn apple and this was divine. Like a crust-less apple pie, without all the work. I tried it successfully in both the oven and the microwave. I also used old fashioned oats instead of instant. It needed a tad more butter to make... — cartoonbabe Oct 11, 2009

Greek-Style Oven-Roasted Lemon-Butter Parmesan Potatoes

Posted by KITTENCAL  

I loved these! I made them in an Advantium halogen/microwave and had to guess at the cook time. I also substituted light butter and vegetable broth. The broth, seasonings, butter and parmesan combined into a lovely almost gravy-like sauce. — cartoonbabe Jan 11, 2009

Chocolate Banana Smoothie With a Hint of Peanut

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Bergy  

This is awesome! I made a lower calorie version with fat-free milk, sugar-free fat-free chocolate pudding (1.5 oz) and Better Than Peanut Butter. That brought the calories down to 190 with zero fat calories and 2 grams of fiber per serving.... — cartoonbabe Jan 11, 2009

Whole Tandoori Chicken

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Aaliyah&Aaron's mum  

This is great! I used a whole chicken and will make this again with boneless skinless chicken breasts. We lost most of the wonderful flavor of the marinade, because we didn't eat the skin. I used a pretty big roasting chicken and had no juices... — cartoonbabe Jan 11, 2009

Sugar Free Mousse

Posted by internetnut  

This is yummy and light! I used .3 oz sf orange Jello and 1 oz sf white chocolate pudding. I also mixed in a chopped banana and topped it with Cool Whip free. Yummy guilt free dessert. I've also made this with a 3 ounce pkg of regular sugar... — cartoonbabe Jan 11, 2009

Hg's Swirls Gone Wild Cheesecake Brownies - Ww Points = 3

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by senseicheryl  

I realize this is Hungry Girl's recipe, but that site doesn't allow you to rate the recipes, so I'm throwing in my 2 cents here. This needs a re-work. The cake part is fine, but the cream cheese top isn't. It would be better to cook the cake... — cartoonbabe Jan 4, 2009

Pistachio Melt Aways

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Sandy in Houston  

This are so incredibly yummy! I experimented a bit. I only have a 2 tbs scoop so the first batched I cooked were a bit too big and underdone in the center, however the underdone center was like a pudding middle so they were still great. I... — cartoonbabe Dec 27, 2008

This was great! I added 1/2 can of spinach and it was ok. Next time I think I'll try peas instead. — cartoonbabe Dec 27, 2008

Shrimp Mango and Cucumber Salad

Posted by Chef Boy-R "Diabetic" Danny  

I grew stevia in the garden this year and found this while searching for something to do with it. This is a wonderfully flavorful low-calorie/fat meal. I substituted low-fat mayo. The sauce is wonderfully creamy. I can't wait to serve this to... — cartoonbabe Nov 30, 2008

Spiced Winter Squash With Fennel

Posted by Kumquat the Cat's friend  

All of this was new for me. I've never cooked fennel before, and I had no idea what to expect from this mixture of spices. It was awesome! The fennel is very liquorice-y smelling but doesn't taste that way cooked. The flavor of this dish is... — cartoonbabe Nov 29, 2008

Grilled Bananas: Platanos Asados

Posted by Humble Bee  

These were great and oh so easy! I had to substitute unsweetened vanilla-flavored Almond Breeze and Splenda for the sweetened condensed milk due to dieting. They were great this way too! — cartoonbabe Nov 8, 2008

Canadian Bacon Split Pea & Lentil Soup (Crock Pot)

Posted by Engrossed  

I really liked this! I'm not fond of sage so I decreased the amount to 1/8 tsp. I wonder if that's the spice others didn't like. I also threw in a tsp of parsley for the heck of it. I think this would be more flavorful with a ham hock, smoked... — cartoonbabe Nov 8, 2008

Rick's Crock Pot Carne Guisada

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by rickscott  

I also found this to be great! I read a few other recipes for carne guisada and made some changes that I wish I hadn't. I added 1 cup beef stock instead of 2, and substituted a large can of diced tomatoes for the 3 tbl of tomato paste. It was... — cartoonbabe Nov 8, 2008

Crock Pot Chicken and Sausage Cassoulet

Posted by PaulaG  

This is very good and the DH voted to repeat this one! Frankly, when I put the ingredients into the crock pot in the morning I thought the taste would be boring and run of the mill. Instead, it was amazingly flavorful. This recipe half-filled a... — cartoonbabe Nov 6, 2008

Irresistible & Healthy Vegetarian Lasagna W/ Cream Sauce!

Posted by CuddlyKittenMTU  

I loved this! I made the recipe with reduced-fat parmesan, regular lasagna noodles and fat-free mozzarella. I cooked it too long expecting the fat-free mozzarella to actually melt. Silly me, but that's not the fault of the recipe. It was even... — cartoonbabe Oct 1, 2008

Beef or Pork Bulgogi

Posted by figaro8895  

We loved this recipe! I've never made bulgogi before but have had this dish a few times at the local Korean take-out restaurant. It was much easier to make than I imagined. It went over well with my non-adventurous DH too. — cartoonbabe Oct 1, 2008

Low Fat Creamed Spinach

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by breezee1984  

I love this recipe too! Thanks for your alterations because I'm trying to cut fat and calories. I used fresh garlic in place of the garlic powder and would cut down the amount of onion salt, but that's just my preference. I will definitely use... — cartoonbabe Sep 1, 2008

Wild Caught Sea Scallops With Spaghetti Squash

Posted by Chef #625570  

This was fantastic! I had to make substitutions based on what I had on hand. I used cod fillets instead of scallops. I also had no fresh basil so I added some homemade basil pesto to the crushed tomatoes. I unintentionally simmered it longer... — cartoonbabe Apr 12, 2008

Shurit Ads (Lentil & Garlic Soup)

Wonderful tasting soup. I didn't add the sauted onions or the butter in an attempt to cut some fat. I also added lemon thyme. I'm adding this to my comfort food list for cold winter days. Very yummy and easy to make! — cartoonbabe Feb 2, 2008
