Vegetarian Chili

Slow but oh-so-good cooking. That’s what this chili’s all about. Want to add leftover shredded roasted chicken or turkey breast? Go right ahead. Poultry- or veggie-style, it’s a wonderful one-pot dish for chilly winter evenings or party nights in front of the T.V.

Curry Hummus Dip

This recipe is so versatile. Use it not just as a dip but as a fabulous spread for sandwiches, wraps, and quesadillas. And wow, what a difference to your waistline! A schmear has about one-seventh the calories of butter or mayo – and about 20 times less sodium than most store-bought hummus. It’s also tasty all by itself as a filling for a pita.  Simple yet so savory and satisfying!

Salmon Dip

This zesty dip can be served chilled or at room temperature. Serve with whole-wheat, low-sodium chips or with sliced fresh vegetables like carrots, radishes, and celery. And boy, will your blood pressure thank you. Many salmon dips tally up an artery-popping 400mg of sodium and more. Ours has just 25mg of sodium.

Edamame & Broccoli Dip

This dip is excellent with vegetable sticks, such as carrots, celery, and jicama, or with whole-wheat, low-sodium chips. And it’s much kinder to your waistline than many store-bought creamy dips, which tally up a belt-busting 300 calories and more. Our dip is just 45 calories.
