Low-Fat Summer Cheesecake
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.

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.Low-Cal, Low-Fat Egg and Veggie Salad
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.Healthy T-Day Dessert: Pumpkin-Carrot Bars With Cream Cheese Frosting
