Great tasting beef and broccoli is a quick and healthy dish that can satisfy your cravings for Chinese food which is often over oily and salting in the USA.

What's better the savory beef fajitas stuffed into warm tortillas and filled with smoking grilled peppers and onions?  This meal is surprisingly low in fat and calories and packs in a bunch of vitamins and minerals.

I made buffalo meat balls the other day and they rocked.  Mixed with spinach they made the perfect hearty pasta dish to satisfy this Fat Guy.  I had the ground bison in the fridge because it was on sale and my lovely wife wanted to use it for something but never did.

This Hot As Hell Pepper Dip is great served with chips, pitas, bread or served on the side of grilled meats.  I love this stuff but have learned to tone it down for the family style cookouts but poker night gets it full hot on!

Greek salads are wonderful but too often they don't fit into a healthy diet because they're dripping oiling dressing.  This low fat Greek salad recipes lightens the load but not the flavor.

Low Fat Salad Nicoise is a wonderful way to pack a lot of vitamins into healthy diet and the canned tuna offers enough lean protein to make this a meal.

This is an adaptation of one of my favorite tilapia dishes. By steaming the fish instead of pan frying the flavors combine much better, the dish is much easier to make and you can also cook this on the grill or as a casserole.  You can easily halve this dish or double it depending on how many you're feeding.

This low fat red cabbage slaw is an excellent add to your healthy diet plan because it's fast, flavorful and easy.  This is a great addition to fish tacos, fajitas, sandwiches or just served with beans and chicken.

Cauliflower was never one of my favorite foods until I discovered roasting it because it give it a deep rish flavor!  Now I love it and my wife keeps asking for it.  This recipe is easy, takes almost no prep time and it's a great way to eat this vitamin packed veggie and a cup of cauliflower has less then 30 calories and almost 3 grams of fiber.  Eat up.

I seem to enjoy this as much the next day right out of the fridge as I do when it's hot and a little sprinkle of sherry vinegar is nice.

This is one of the top 10 things that you should try on this site.  These simple green beans become smoking, chewy and more flavorful then you probably thought possible.  You can also serve them as Schezuan green beans, tapas or as finger food by using one of the variations mentioned here.

This smoking side dish is filling, flavorful and fast.  Sure real Succotash is mde with cream and butter but this is better and more flavorful.  Of course you can use lima beans like I usually do but we had some frozen Edamame on hand and it worked great!

This peperonata is sweet, tasty, colorful and low in fat. This Italian staple takes on a new dimension with some sweetness I add and makes a great companion to grilled meat, roast pork, some lean sausages or even just part of a platter served with bread or crackers.

I love these spicy little beans and this is the easy recipe that I know to make them because you let the oven do the work while you're cooking something else and then just sauce them at the end.

This spicy cucumber salad makes a great Chinese or Asian appetizer or side dish with spicy foods.  It has a clean taste with just a hint of spice that's a good pallette cleanser.  Recently I made a triple batch for a party and everyone loved it.

Sure watermelon may sound strange but what's more refreshing at a summer cookout then watermelon?  Why wait until the end of the meal when you can serve it with grilled food and trust me, this fat guy loves this with grilled food.  I've recieved at least 3 phone calls asking for this recipe as well so everyone likes it.

This green pea dip makes a great alternative to hummus and is excellent on bruschetta and crostini.

Not only is this white bean dip low in cholesterol but it's filled with fiber and protein.  This fat guy and his slim wife loves this on toast, bruschetta or my baked pita chips.  It rocks!
