I got this recipe from "Cook's Illustrated" magazine's "The Best Light Recipes cookbook".
I absolutely love the taste of cheesecake, but not the hips, butt, and stomach that appears after the indulgences. This recipe manages to keep all the best things about cheesecake and take out the worst part: the high fat content.

Yummilicious Banana Smoothiei've been surfing the web quite a lot these days looking at recipes and i've come across quite a number of recipes for fruit smoothies. unfortunately, while many of the recipes boast low cal, they forgo the flava!
seeing as i myself am soooo obsessed with finding the perfect low cal food that doesn't lose the taste at the same time, i decided to share a little tip that i picked up when i was working at the Coffeebean & Tealeaf a couple years back!

Here is a fabulous recipe that is so simple. The inspiration for this recipe came after having WAY to many hard-boiled eggs left over from easter. Since eggs, more specifically, the egg-whites, have tons of protein and are so flexible to add to any dish, I came up with a simple salad.

I made this delicious version over the weekend--and I didn't even tell my husband it was healthy or on the vegetarian website or I knew he probably wouldn't eat it. ;-)
French Onion Soup - Serves 6
Original recipe from Vegetarian Times
Traditional French onion soup can come in as high as 39 grams of fat per serving. Ours has just 10.5 and tastes amazing.

whenever you're dieting (or attempting to), there comes a time when you're hit by an attack of "i need that _________ or i will die". and usually, the food in question would be a high fat, high cal snack that you totally can do without.
to me, the biggest culprits would be fries and chips.
