    This is a healthier version of a traditional cobbler, with canola oil in place of some of the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Unlike more classic biscuit-topped cobblers, the peaches and blueberries are nestled into a tender batter that swells around the fruit as it bakes. Other fruits may be substituted. It's especially beautiful when baked in and served right from a cast-iron skillet. Just made it yesterday for some company and it was a hit. It's really good and guilt free! ENJOY!!

    What a fantastic recipe and so easy to make.
    Pork tenderloin is about as lean as it comes so it's a great healthy option, but it shouldn't be overcooked as it can dry out. Maple and mustard make a sweet-and-savory mahogany-colored sauce. A delicate note of sage gives it a wintery touch. Fresh thyme or rosemary also work if you prefer. Serve with barley, roasted squash and a Pinot Noir. What a satisfying dish. ENJOY!!

    Although you can use any firm-fleshed fish, such as halibut or cod, salmon is especially pretty with the roasted tomatoes and black olives. Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli florets and boiled new potatoes.
    "I have made this a half a dozen times. Very enjoyable and easy, and great the next day,too. Your family and friends will love this dish. Personally I like more olives that's just me. ENJOY!!!

    This French bistro classic is a perfect one-dish meal, but it can leave you feeling less than svelte. By replacing white flour with whole wheat, and using 2 percent milk instead of cream, I've bid adieu to 25 grams of fat, reduced the calories by half, and quadrupled the fiber. A duo of flavorful cheeses ensures you'll never miss the fat. Boy do I love this dish.. Bon Appétit!

    There's no need to fear the phyllo: These flaky-crisp crust cups are almost foolproof. All you do is drape ready-made sheets of the pliable pastry around ramekins. Finish off this good-for-you Greek treat with yogurt, honey, and sliced figs. ENJOY!

    THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY STAY AWAY FROM THIS RECIPE PLEASE!!!
     
    This is a very simple and quick dish that combines the standard pork chop with the wonderful flavor of peanuts. Even the kids loved it. This flavorful Thai dish makes a high protein meal, but also makes a great healthy holiday appetizer recipe! Just use smaller pieces of meat and serve on a platter with dipping sauce ... ENJOY!

    This recipe is deliciously deceiving: Instead of starchy strands of pasta, it’s made with piles of healthy spaghetti squash, which is easily made in the microwave while you sauté turkey sausage, zucchini and onion, and chiffonade basil to layer on top. ENJOY!

    Between picking up the kids at soccer practice and helping them with their homework, there isn’t always much time left for dinner prep. Luckily,I have some pasta creations you can get on the table in 20 minutes or less—even before the whole family gathers hungrily in the kitchen. My flavorful sauces are so quick to prepare that by the time the noodles cook your work will be done. I guarantee that with my speedy suppers, you’ll be earning your family’s thumbs up before the final spin on Wheel of Fortune. ENJOY!

    Baba ganoush, a Middle Eastern spread and dip is similar to hummus, but is made with eggplant instead of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). So if you are looking for a low calories spread and dip or even a snack this is it, and so tasty too! ENJOY!
