Disappointed! It is a big hassle to get to the Family Circle recipes. I tried 3 times and couldn't get past the requests for personal information pages. Maybe I did something wrong but I'm not going to bother to try to check out any recipes from Family Circle again. - 10/27/2012 7:55:15 AM

If you top up six egg whites on cooked vegetable and cook it in microwave for 2-3 minutes, Your protein requirement is complete. It becomes a real wholesome meal having proteins, vitamins and minerals. Make sure the weight of vegetable 100 to 150 grams is a combination of at least six to seven vegetable of different colors and six egg whites per serving. I personally use this as my daily meal. - 10/24/2012 11:29:37 PM

I count 3 recipes... where are the other 4?

I went to Family Circle and couldn't get past all the subscription BS, so aborted that attempt.

Very disappointed. - 10/24/2012 1:12:17 PM

I appreciate getting one article but became frustrated when FamilyCircle ad only returned me to registration without allowing me look at the detail for additional recipes. - 10/24/2012 1:03:35 PM

SQUASH !

I wasn't much of a squash eater as a kid, but as an adult... I really love it. My squash recipe is really simple. I just boil the butternut squash. then mix it with some cinnamon and a bit of butter. some times I'll add a little nutmeg.

I love sweet potatoes too. The nice thing about those is that I can get them year round.

After raising five children, I hate to cook. But, the crockpot is always my best choice. - 10/24/2012 9:15:04 AM

i really don't have one but I am not opposed to eating more vegetables. I do enjoy a good roast beef with lots of vegetables and a salad- it helps to warm one up after a cold day. - 10/23/2012 9:32:48 PM

Looking forward to modifying the squash and lentil stew a bit...a good butternut squash soup or veggie and quinoa stuffed acorn squashes are probably two of my favorite go-to veggie recipes this time of year. - 10/23/2012 4:14:34 PM

I don't understand these comments. All these recipes except 1 are either right around or under 400 calories per serving. I find that to be a very appropriate serving size. They don't claim to be low carb (diabetes) recipes. They are a little high in sodium, but that's easy enough to modify if it's an issue for you. I appreciate recipes that I may not cook verbatim but suggest ingredients that I might not ordinarily use. Now I'm interested in adding a sweet potato to my meatloaf or throwing some bok choy into a stir fry or soup. - 10/23/2012 12:05:55 PM

I thought there were supposed to be 7 recipes. I only see 3 and when I click on the link for family circle it just takes me to the main page, not the rest of the article. :\ -disappointed- - 10/23/2012 11:25:29 AM

Healthy, maybe; low-calorie, no. - 10/23/2012 11:15:32 AM

For great sounding recipes, they are too high in the carb department, even subtracting the fiber. Unless you make smaller portions these are not Low Carb (Diabetes) recipes. - 10/23/2012 11:05:18 AM
