Ann's notes: I made 1/3 of the recipe with left over string beans. I used cheddar cheese and didn't have cornflakes so I crushed up several reduced fat Ritz crackers for the topping. I also sprinkled the top with reduced fat Parm. cheese that you sprinkle on.

These carrots and onions are almost as good as my son James’ are when he prepares his famous Pot Roast, and that’s saying a lot!!!
In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute onion for 5 minutes. Stir in carrots, beef broth, and parsley flakes. Bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until carrots are tender and most of liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.

If your kids, or husband will only eat broccoli with cheese sauce, try this!!!! It's just like broccoli with cheese sauce.
However, if you want it to look my appetizing and like "cheese" sauce, I highly suggest using cream of chicken healthy request soup, instead of cream of mushroom. If you use cream of mushroom it will have a dirty grey color that just isn't as pretty. It will taste good, but it may turn "picky" eaters off.

Serve this when you want to "show off" a bit! No one will believe that it's both easy and healthy. Serves 6

I've doubled the carrots for this as well, and it's always came our extra yummy!
If you ever want sweet potatoes but can't afford the calories or carbs of sweet potatoes at that meal, I highly suggest using this, it's almost the same!
Carrots Supreme JoAnna M. Lund
It's just amazing how much kitchen magic you can work using tiny amounts of flavoring in a vegetable dish like this low-calorie carrot concoction! It's savory and sweet all at once, and delivers great taste as well as good nutrition. Serves 4 (scant 1 cup)
4 cups sliced carrots 1/2 cup diced onion 2 tablespoons Hormel Bacon Bits 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons Cary's sugar-free maple syrup
In a medium sauce pan, cook carrots in boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile in a large saucepan sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, saute onion until temder, about 5 minutes. Stir in Bacon Bits and black pepper. Drain carrots and return to saucepan. Mash well with potato masher or electric mixer. Stir in maple syrup. Add carrots to onion mixture. Mix well to combine. Continue cooking until heated through. Serve at once.

Spanish Green Beans
You know how I pride myself on dishes that stir and cook up quickly. Well, this one take a few more minutes than some of my recipes, but you'll soon see it's worth it. The stewed tomatoes need to cook a little longer for all the flavors to shake hands and say howdy. Besides, the dish requires only about five minutes of "baby-sitting" and no more than a half hour to reach perfection!
Serves 6 (1 cup)
3/4 cup chopped onion 5 1/2 cups frozen cut green beans 1 cup water 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic 1 3/4 cups (one 14-ounce can) stewed tomatoes, undrained 1/3 cup Heinz Light Harvest or Healthy Choice ketchup 2 tablespoons Hormel Bacon Bits 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add green beans, water and garlic. Mix well to combine. Lower heat. Cover and simmer 20 minutes or until green beans are tender. Add undrained tomatoes, ketchup, bacon bits, and black pepper. mix well to combine. Continue cooking 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

German Green Beans
Cliff loves canned green beans, so anytime I want to win favor with him, I stir up some new way to serve his favorite vegetable. You can also prepare this dish with fresh or frozen beans if you prefer. I think you'll agree that the combination of almonds, and bacon bits is a true man-pleaser, especially when added to this dish's sweet-and-sour flavor. (The secret's in the combo of vinegar and Sugar Twin or Sprinkle Sweet!)
Serves 6 (2/3 cup)
1/2 cup chopped onion 1/4 cup (1 ounce) slivered almonds 2 tablespoons Hormel Bacon Bits 4 cups (two 16-ounce cans) cut green beans, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup white vinegar 1/4 cup Sugar Twin or Sprinkle Sweet
In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in almonds and bacon bits. Add green beans. Mix well to combine. In a small bowl, combine vinegar and Sugar Twin. Stir vinegar mixture into green bean mixture. Lower heat. Simmer 5 minutes or until move of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally

Eggplant Parmesan Madge Kofmann
Madge Kofmann, Nashville, TN, has come to the rescue of all you eggplant lovers. I must confess that I really don't consider it part of my vegetable vocabulary, but Cliff does. So he had to do my taste testing for me on this one. I think it's only the third recipe in the past 5 1/2 years that I haven't personally tasted before sharing it with you, but I just couldn't do it. By the way, the other two recipes included either grapefruit or liver. Serves 4
6 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) dried fine bread crumbs 1/4 cup (3/4 ounce) grated Kraft fat-free Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons Kraft Fat Free Italian Dressing 1 teaspoon JO's Italian Seasoning 2 teaspoons Splenda 1 3/4 cups (one 15-ounce can) Hunt's Chunky Tomato Sauce 1 medium eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch slices 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with olive oil-flavored cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian dressing. Stir JO's Italian Seasoning and Splenda into tomato sauce. Spoon about 1/4 cup tomato sauce into prepared baking dish. Layer half of eggplant slices over sauce. Sprinkle half of crumb mixture over eggplant. Spoon half of tomato sauce over top. Repeat layers. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until eggplant is tender.

Bungalow Potatoes Serves 4 (1 full cup) From When Every Minute Counts
4 cups (20 oz) thinly sliced unpeeled raw potatoes 1 cup diced onion 2 cups (one 16 oz can) cut green beans, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup water 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
In a large skillet sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray, combine potatoes and onion. cover and cook over medium low heat for 15 min. stirring occasionally. Add green beans, water and lemon pepper. Mix well to combine. Continue simmering for 5 min. or until most of the liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
HINT: Good topped with 1 tabl. f/f sour cream, but don't forget to count the few additional calories
Recipe Ingredients 12 slices reduced-calorie Italian bread, cut into 1 -inch cubes 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup 2/3 cup carnation nonfat dry milk powder 1 1/2 cups water 4 eggs, beaten, or equivalent in egg substitute 1/4 cup (3/4 ounce) grated Kraft fat-free Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Kraft reduced-fat Cheddar cheese 7 (3/4 ounce) slices Kraft reduced-fat Swiss cheese, shredded
Recipe Directions Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with butter-flavored cooking spray. Evenly arrange bread cubes in prepared baking dish. In a large bowl, combine mushroom soup, dry milk powder, water and eggs. Stir in Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, and Swiss cheese. Pour soup mixture evenly over bread.

Place baking dish on a wire rack and let set for 5 minutes. Cut into 8 servings.
Mary's Notes: This was wonderful and reminded me of a recipe my aunt used to make using sausage in it. Very similiar to quiche also. Hal and I both liked it. I highly recommend that you throughly spray your pan, the cheese does stick. I used Veggie Slice Cheese (toful cheese) without a problem and Alpine Lace brand nonfat for the Parmesan. The Parmesan was already shredded, and the Veggie slices I just cut into small pieces. Veggie slices melted beautifully and really tasted good in this recipe. No meat needed in this recipe, but I might try some chopped broccoli next time.
JoAnna's Notes: "If one cheese is good, and two even better, why not go culinarily wild and enjoy three scrumptious (but low-fat or reduced-fat) cheeses? Take note: This wonderful baked bread and cheese combo needs to rest for at least an hour before baking----and can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance". - JoAnna Lund

Potatoes Au Gratin
3 cups (10 ounces) shredded loose-packed frozen potatoes (I use refrigerated not frozen and you could use fresh) 1 cup (4 ounces) diced Velveeta Light processed cheese 1/2 cup Land O Lakes Fat Free Half and Half 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimiento, un-drained (I omitted these) 1 1/2 teaspoons dried onion flakes 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8x8 dish with butter flavored cooking spray. Evenly arrange potatoes in dish. In large microwave safe bowl combine cheese, half & half, pimiento, onion flakes, parsley flakes and black pepper. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring after every minute or until cheese melts. Evenly pour hot mixture over potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes. Place dish on wire rack and let set for 5 minutes.( I didn't. I just set it on the stove) Divide into 4 servings.
I've probably made this more often than any other HE recipe. It is a favorite here at home and a double recipe always disappears at a potluck!
