Cooking Light Lighten Up, America!: Favorite American Foods Made Guilt-Free

Oxmoor House - 2013
Shrimp Burger : page 74
I made this one for Harold, Sarita and I on our OBX 2015 vacation. All three of us devoured ours. So good. Dexter and Andrew don't care much for shrimp so they had beef burgers.

Peach and Blueberry Pancakes : page 27
While this is a breakfast dish I decided to make them for our supper. They were a hit and even hubby enjoyed them despite the fact he normally doesn't care for cooked blueberries.

Grinder : page 63
I really enjoyed these, although I though one hot dog bun for two people was a skimpy serving size. I ate a whole one. The filling on the other side was supposed to serve 4 and I had enough to fill eight hot dog buns instead of two. Son ate two the first with mozzarella as described in recipe and the second he requested mustard, cheddar and hot sauce.

Butter Crunch Lemon Bars : page 299
These were surprisingly good. Who would of thought to lighten up lemon bars by using low fat cottage cheese processed until smooth in the food processor. Nice lemony flavor too.

Garlic Parsley Steak "Fries" : page 242
While these were very good you really couldn't taste the garlic and 3 tablespoons of olive oil was hard to get to coat 3 pounds of potato wedges. They did get nicely browned in the oven and quiet tasty.

Savory Egg Muffins : page 49
These weren't as good as I was expecting but they were ok. Interesting that the crust is made from Reduced sodium Stuffing Mix for chicken. I did opt to make them even lighter by using egg beaters instead of whole eggs.

Egg and Cheese on a Roll : page 47
To make these even healthier I used whole grain English Muffins instead of the regular ones called for. I'm not usually a ketchup and egg type person but it worked on these with the addition of hot sauce.

Reuben Sandwich : page 57
Hubby, son and I all agreed these were very good. We enjoyed the sauce that was on them and it was easy to make with ingredients I already had on hand. I couldn't find the lower sodium corned beef but the one I bought wasn't as bad as some I've seen. I was able to get the low fat Swiss though. I'll probably be making these again since they were such a hit with my guys.

Tex-Mex Migas : page 37
I made this lightened up version of migas for my breakfast and it was delicious.
