Healthy tasty food for busy people.
This Monday, I received some bad, life-changing news. I have a very extreme case of Type 2 Diabetes, along with extremely high cholesterol. Because of this, The Taste Place is now incorporating diabetic-friendly recipes into our blog to help the 25.8 million Americans who have diabetes and the 79 million Americans classified as prediabetic.
This sauce makes a ton, freezes and reheats well, and is a great dish to make ahead for a dinner party, or to keep warm in a crockpot for a potluck. Only 5 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, and 15g of carbohydrates, per serving.
Piccata is one of my favorite Italian dishes. Lemon, capers, wine, butter. Unlike traditional piccata, this lighter version is just 5 PointsPlus per serving — yet equally delicious.
When a crumbly crusty cheesy top is what you want on your mac and cheese, you won’t be disappointed in this Alton Brown recipe. Although we lightened it up a bit, at 10 PointsPlus, this is definitely a special occasion version. Comfort food perfection.
This easy crockpot version of lasagna is perfect for hot summer nights when you want to avoid the oven. At 10 PointsPlus, splurging on this meaty cheesy goodness won’t bust your waistline.
The filling in these shells is out of this world. So much flavorful heart-warming lick-the-spoon goodness. At 16 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, save it for a splurge night if you’re concerned with fat and calories.
Jeff and Colleen Greene have been serving up recipes and tips on The Taste Place since April 2009.
