A colorful rainbow of peppers, tomatoes, black beans and limes…can’t be healthy. WRONG! Legit protein, fiber, and a mouthful nutrients. Eliminate 90% of sodium in traditional salsas – so enjoy as much as you like! Serve with a veggie platter, in place of salad dressing, or serve with a gluten-free baked chip.

The best of two diet-dealbreakers – cheesecake and brownies – fuse together in this twisted treat. Free of gluten and refined sugar. High in natural protein. So make, bake and indulge a little. You’ve been working out, right?

All natural, gluten free, dairy free, no sugar added Cherry Chocolate Sorbet recipe. Definitely quells a sweetooth. Cients are raving about their new dessert that hasn’t disrupted their shrinking waistlines.

Alternatives to fatty salad dressings. Recipes: Hummus, Cilantro Avocado Vinaigrette & “Bowls of Chaos”

Missing potatoes or just want a few fun ideas to refresh the diet, try some of these surprisingly savory recipes involving sweet potatoes, including a healthier tuna salad, pre-workout snack and for dessert: cocoa mousse.

A low-fat variation on traditional southern fare with international flare. Less than ten minutes from fridge to plate. A WMC “what’s in my kitchen, I’m too exhausted to go to the store” original.

This salad pairs well with most every meat or fish.

For an oil, butter and gluten-free, no sugar-added, protein and fiber-rich (!) chocolate dessert…I say let them eat cake!

Experience proves this recipe a winner for the single person cooking for him/herself, impressing a late-night/come-morning guest, the parents who didn’t teach you to cook, or for anyone short on time or cash (eggs are cheaper than alternative protein sources such as chicken, beef and fish).
