Using Sparkrecipes

Members Were Sparked

I enter any of my personal creations on the Sparkrecipes calculator and do not share them until I have "tweaked" them. It gives me an opportunity to check on calories and servings and taste without others suffering through my experiments.

low fat chicken salad

check SparkRecipes for traditional raita recipes and use instead of mayo

MORE INFORMATION:
I used a raita dressing instead of mayonaise to make chicken salad. Used fat free Greek yogurt (it's so thick it can easily substitute for mayo) and followed traditional spices used in raita recipes. It was really delicious and I didn't miss the mayo at all!

Eating Dinner~~The LOWFAT WAY!!!!

My most troublesome time for calorie counting is DINNER!!! I like to eat a meal that is filling,but not too high in cal. and I ALWAYS seem to overdo it! So, I tried using JUST Sparkrecipes for DINNER and it WORKED! I usually was in my calorie range!!! I'll list one that I have liked and used...

MORE INFORMATION:
repeatedly. NOTE: I find I have to look for Main Dish recipes where the total cal. are 250 or LESS because I want to have more than 1 serving, if possible. ~~ Turkey & Black Bean Sloppy Joes{does not include bread} by Sparkuser RHG2525.I add Trader Joe Dinner Rolls=221 cal.-Add arrowroot to thicken!
