This is Low-cal Gourmet!

I want to try every recipe in the book! They all look so good. Some are simple but some have many steps and can be time consuming you just have to decide how complicated you have time to be that day. I like the options. Great addition to my cookbook library.

Peanut butter gourmets who enthuse over esoteric brands won't like me for saying this, but Skippy usually bests everything else in taste tests, and Peter Pan often ties Skippy. Don't believe me? Check out the published reviews of tests with 12 year olds, a key consumer population. The Cooking Light website also has some good reviews.

I picked this up because it was less expensive than Skippy's alternative. In a straight-up comparison with Skippy's super chunk, I can't taste any significant difference except for the honey-roasted flavor. And that flavor really makes this offering a winner. It is not cloyingly sweet but just flavorful enough to make eating this peanut butter a real treat just by itself.

And I do exactly that, especially during my mid-afternoon hypoglycemic periods. This peanut butter will serve well anyone with diet-controlled type 2 diabetes who hits a low-sugar rough patch.

Each jar has 13 servings, and each serving has 190 calories, most of which are from fat. This is enough to chase many into the arms of reduced-fat alternatives. OK. Just remember that this fat is mostly monounsaturated and possibly good for you. Removing such oils may undermine the nutritional value.

Don't believe me? Again, check the web. I switched away from reduced-fat peanut butter when I realized that it was more politically correct than nutritionally correct. Anyway, I love this stuff, and so long as I eat moderate amounts, there should be no problem. But it's still tempting to get a spoon and eat a whole jar in front of the TV.

Buy some Gordon's and have yourself a nice, lower calorie G&T !!! I honestly prefer it over the normal Hansen's tonic.

I love this one with the wakame in it. The flavor is great and with only 25 calories per serving! A serving is about 2/3 cup of soup, so I usually do 2 servings or 50 calories. I would have given it a 5 except that each serving has 750mg. of sodium!! So I am getting my daily allowance with just my 2 servings for a snack!

This cookbook has quite a few yummy sounding recipes, and since I'm heading back to Weight Watchers, I thought it might help. I really like that the recipes include calories, fat, carbs, fiber, and protein grams amounts. By including this information, I can figure out my points.  Most cookbooks do not. The contents include: appetizers, salads, side dishes, starchy foods, seafoods and shellfish, poultry, pork, beef, and lab, soups and stews, bread goods, and desserts. There is a wonderful recipe called, "Stovetop Apple Pie" which I can't wait to try! Because I work more than full-time teaching first graders, I will have to wait to try some of the more involved, but delicious sounding recipes such as salmon patties with lemon-caper sauce, and vegetable corn bread, but I can and will try slow-cooked barbecue pulled chicken and Quick and Easy Turkey Chili - YUM!

I received a free copy of this cookbook from the publisher in exchange for my honest review which I have given.

I love the refreshing, fruity taste with little to no real calories!

This is at the top of my comfort-food list!  They are a little heavy on the sodium, but not too bad, and calorie-wise, they're a very reasonable lunch.

This has been one of my go-to quick meals for a while.  It is surprisingly good for what is basically canned food (without any metal taste!), and 260 calories ain't bad for lunch.  But I just realized I'm out of them and can't find them anywhere!  And the last review was over a year ago.  Did they stop making this?  Say it ain't so!

My customers love that it is only 100 cal! Great for those watching their CAL INTAKE and want a mid afternoon snack

These are my afternoon snack and I've lost weight! 90 calories is far less than what I'd been eating in the afternoons. One packet of this and I'm not hungry again until dinner time, and I'm happy with less food at dinner too. It also tastes fantastic!

My local grocery stores no longer carry this, as I suppose it wasn't very popular.  It's good, though, and with the addition of some crab meat or fresh/frozen shrimp, it can pass for a gourmet first course.  Hide the can.  Yay for Amazon for carrying it!

While I've liked just about everything Amy's has put out so far, I knew that eventually I'd find something that I just wasn't that big of a fan of. This is that product.

Don't get me wrong- it isn't that this tastes bad. It's just that this is a little too savory for my tastes. You'll either like this dish or you won't.

But as far as the dish as a whole goes, it is a very hearty dish that is low in calories. (Only 160 calories!) The sodium (24%) might be a little high for some, but there is a lower sodium version out there. The mashed potatoes on this are incredibly good, but like I said- the seasoning for this dish was just a little much for me. They aren't strong- I'm just really, really picky with seasonings.

At last, some serious competition for my previous favorite KOI recipe (rajma masala)!

This has enough cream and butter to produce a very rich flavor, but without being high in calories or saturated fat. With just 15 g of total fat in a whole package, it tastes much richer than it is. If you mix it with rice (brown or wild rice) it becomes a low-fat dish, and of course high protein.

Yum!

The review must be 20 words long, so can I say "yum..", 20 times?  Seriously, the one lb package is small but the food is so rich, that for me, it makes 16 1-oz servings. Very rich but not too sweet.  I served it for dessert after Christmas eve mass with a good Irish grass-feed cheddar (KerryGold) and a white wine that goes well with sweetish things. Excellent!

This is very very yummy. The only reason I give it a 4 stars is that it is very rich ... 500 calories.  If you don't care for calories, give it a try!
