I adore this popular and healthy breakfast sandwich at Panera. My skinny version is super yummy too! It’s much lower in fat and calories than Panera. For the bagel, I used one of those 110 calorie bagel thins. Below are the directions to cook in a panini maker, George Forman grill, or in a pan…
Get ready to thrill your family and friends with this, out-of-this-world, dish! No one will ever guess it’s low in calories.

A big bowl of delicious comfort food. This soup is much lighter than a traditional pot pie but has all the yumminess! Each serving is hearty enough for dinner.

Normally, a restaurant serving of egg scramble contains 3 regular eggs and full-fat feta, all cooked in butter.

This type of taco easily fits in your hand and your mouth, with all your breakfast needs self-contained in one neat, little package. One problem, it’s usually pretty fattening,…
The perfect weeknight night dinner. This chili is fabulous and fiber-rich. In fact, each cup contains 9 grams of fiber! It’s so versatile too.

You’ll love, love, love this rich, hearty, fiber-packed soup! It tastes very similar to the Pasta e Fagioli at Olive Garden. It’s one of the lowest-fat items on the Olive Garden menu, with 2.5 of fat per serving. My recipe actually contains more calories than theirs does because I’ve added more beans and veggies. Each…
