Turkey burgers topped with marinara sauce and melted mozzarella cheese are a light and healthy quick lunch or weeknight meal. Serve these over a whole wheat roll, or you can go bunless like I did and serve them on top of a bed of lettuce.

Using naturally low-carb veggies as a base for your dish is a tasty and versatile way to serve up a healthy meal. These roasted stuffed peppers are filled with taco-seasoned lean ground turkey and tomatoes, and topped with melted cheese.
This is the perfect dip for summer! It’s warm, cheesy, creamy, sweet, and spicy, and can be dipped with anything from tortilla chips, to soy crisps, to raw veggie sticks. I used low fat cream cheese and low fat sour cream to reduce the overall fat content in this recipe, and no-salt-added corn to cut down on sodium (frozen corn kernels work great in this recipe too). Just pop the ingredients into a slow cooker for two hours, and top with bacon and parsley for garnish!
Quick-cooking ground beef is the perfect ingredient for an easy, fast meal. These quesadillas are filled with beef, cheese, peppers, tomatoes, and taco seasoning. The assembly is no-fuss: Just fold in half, and bake in the oven until crispy. Serve these with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or low-fat sour cream.

This casserole is something that both adults and children will love! Cheese-filled tortellini and chicken are baked with spinach, marinara sauce, and a mixture of part-skim ricotta, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. I also love making this dish for potluck dinners and casual gatherings with friends because it's a one-pan make-ahead meal = effortless entertaining.
I put this into the crockpot this morning, and I'm really looking forward to dinner tonight! I made this dish with skinless chicken breast, red skin potatoes (which are high in potassium), and broccoli (a great source of Vitamin C). My kitchen smells SO good. The best part about this recipe, besides being a balanced meal, is that it took only five minutes to prep, and the crockpot did the rest of the work while I got all of my errands done for the day.
Beef Enchilada Dip - a warm, meaty, cheesy, and delicious dip that makes for a great crowd-pleasing appetizer. It's super easy to make, and if you're preparing the dip for a party you can do most of the work ahead of time by cooking the meat and assembling the dish, and then just heat it in the oven a few minutes before serving.
We’ve all heard the saying, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” It makes sense that we should start our day with food that fills our bellies after a night’s sleep, nourishes our bodies with a variety of nutrients, and gives us the energy to begin our workday. The best breakfast choices are whole-grains, fruits/ vegetables, low-fat dairy, and lean protein. This week is National Breakfast Week, and I’ve got an omelet recipe that includes eggs for lean protein, part-skim mozzarella cheese for low-fat dairy, and tomatoes and broccoli for a serving of vegetables. Add a small glass of 1% or skim milk to complete your dairy serving, and slice of whole wheat toast if you want to get in a serving of grains, and you’ve got yourself a tasty, healthy, balanced breakfast.
A friend of mine recently went to Philly for cheese steaks, and it got me thinking, how can I recreate those flavors at home in a healthy meal? I came up with this recipe for Philly Cheese Steak Meatloaf, and I think I might eat it every day for the next week, it’s so good! I’ve added sautéed onions and green bell peppers to the meat, and topped the meatloaf with Provolone cheese, which gets browned and bubbly under the broiler in the last few minutes of cooking. If you love cheese steak, you’ll want to give this one a try.
