Holly’s Turkey and Cheese Pita
Holly’s Turkey and Cheese Pita: Approximately 430 calories. Cut a whole wheat pita in half (and just use half unless you need the extra calories). Spread 1 level tablespoon of canola mayonnaise in it, then add approx. 4 – 5 slices of turkey. (I like the thin-sliced turkey I get from the deli counter at my local grocery store.) 1 slice of turkey is about 30 calories, so add the amount you can for your proper calorie count. Add a slice of cheese (a 1 ounce slice is approx.... Read More
Holly’s Terrific Tuna Sandwich
Holly’s Terrific Tuna Sandwich: Approximately 490 calories. Use 1 can of tuna packed in water; drain the liquid. Stir in 1/2 of a finely chopped medium-sized apple. Add 1 level tablespoon of canola mayonnaise, and lemon juice and garlic salt to taste. Use 2 slices of Milton’s Whole Grain bread. This tastes best if you toast the bread. If you need to cut the calories, use only 1 slice of bread and eat open-faced. For other no-nonsense tips, advice and recipes, visit... Read More

Holly’s Stir-Fried Asparagus
Holly’s Stir-Fried Asparagus: Spray a large skillet or wok with Pam, then add approx. 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Heat the oil, then add fresh asparagus. Add garlic salt and pepper as you stir fry. Serve when still a bit firm. Although asparagus is not my favorite vegetable, it is filled with vitamins and minerals and is one of the vegetables that rates lowest on the glycemic index.

Holly’s Spicy Green Beans
Holly’s Spicy Green Beans: Spray a large skillet or wok with Pam, then add approx. 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Heat the oil, then add frozen green beans (I like the French cut organic frozen green beans you can find in the freezer department of Costco or Trader Joes). Add garlic salt, pepper and crushed red pepper as you stir fry. I make these beans very spicy, but you can omit the red pepper.

I particularly like this with... Read More

Holly’s Spaghetti and Meatballs
Holly’s Spaghetti and Meatballs: Approximately 550 calories for this entree. Boil approx. 2 oz. of whole wheat spaghetti (this is about one cup when cooked, and approximately 210 calories). I add salt and a drop of olive oil to the water. Microwave six small frozen meatballs (I like the Trader Joe’s frozen Meatless Meatballs; six are approximately 140 calories, and they have a lot of protein) and place into a sauce pan with spaghetti sauce (1 cup is 160 calories)....

Holly’s Grilled Salmon
Holly’s Grilled Salmon: Approximately 245 calories for the serving of salmon. This is a really simple and nutritious meal. I bake 1 marinated salmon fillet (I use Morey’s Marinated Wild Alaskan Salmon that is pre-seasoned, which I buy at Costco. There are 6 fillets in a box.) The serving is prepackaged, so it is easy to ensure the calorie count is correct. I serve this with a small yam sprinkled with cinnamon and artificial sweetener (I use Splenda), and my Roasted...
