Low Calorie Apple Stuffing

Here's a recipe that will get you thinking about Thanksgiving, as it seems Thanksgiving is now just around the corner. The sweetness of the apples and the crunch of the walnuts makes this apple stuffing an exciting twist on a traditional recipe. This apple stuffing nicely compliments turkey as well as pork.

Low Calorie Mummy Dogs

Low Calorie Mummy Dogs

These mummy dogs are such a fun way to celebrate Halloween. Typical recipes for these fun mummy dogs usually use refrigerator biscuits which are typically loaded with calories and additives. By making your own rolls to wrap around the hot dogs, you save a great deal of calories and end up with a far healthier meal item. You may even go so far as to use organic hot dogs, or a hot dog with no added preservatives for an extra health boost.

Low Calorie Apple Pie

Healthy Apple Pie

I participated in one of my favorite fall activities this past weekend: picking fresh apples! While I make batches of healthy applesauce with the majority of them, I have to save a few to make goodies like apple pie.

It is hard to get away from using a form of fat in the crust, but by reducing the amount of butter and sugar in the apple filling, the pie comes out being lower in calories than you would expect!

Low Calorie Crock Pot Beef Stew

I have really made use of my crock pot these past few chilly days. Recently, I enjoyed my homemade crock pot beef stew with a few soda cracks for a healthy and filling meal. The best part was, all I had to do was to prepare the beef stew early in the day, and simply allow it to cook in the crock pot until dinnertime.
