Skinny, Mini Reuben AppetizersHere’s a classic deli sandwich turned into a bite-sized appetizer. I love serving these whenever I’m having company over or even as a fun lunch. They would be terrific to serve while watching football, too! These little gems are so delicious and simple to make. You can prep them in advance and pop them in the oven, just before… |

Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh YeahMost kids love McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I’m sure many grown-ups do too. But, they are so unhealthy! Happily, not my skinny ones!

The skinny for 6 chicken nuggets only 203… |

Zucchini, Yellow Squash & Radish SaladSo colorful, light and refreshing, this goes over well at summer feeds, and helps use up your garden harvest. Make this in advance to allow a thorough chilling, about 2 hours. It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta.

The skinny for each… |

Skinny and Sensational, Thai Chicken and Peanut NoodlesI love any kind of Asian noodle dish, especially a Thai one that includes peanut butter. Good news too: Peanut butter is heart healthy. It’s very filling and satisfying when added to a noodle dish. The red pepper flakes add just the right amount of spice.

Favorite Buttermilk Waffles (with Whole Grain option)Buttermilk makes baked products divine, and this is the way I use it in waffles. White whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour can be subbed to boost nutrition. Lazy soul that I am, I mix the batter in a blender and use that as a pitcher to pour them conveniently. I freeze extra waffles for a quick into-the-toaster breakfast.… |

Best Crispy WafflesThis is my favorite recipe for a crisp waffle. If that’s the way you like them, don’t reduce the oil, cause that’s what makes them crispy!
