5 Ingredients: Cranberry Spritzer
During holidays or big family gatherings, the adults sip on wine or cocktails and the kids drink juice, but my 7-year-old son complained that he wanted something more (and I refuse to buy soda). That’s how this cranberry spritzer was born.
5 Ingredients: Leftover Turkey Quesadillas

5 Ingredients: Tuna Pasta Salad
I’m always looking for new ways to take advantage of the healthy protein and omega-3 fats in tuna. My mom would bring home a tuna pasta salad from the deli when I was a kid, but it was loaded with fatty mayo. Here’s my lightened-up version made with five simple ingredients.

5 Ingredients: Cucumber Salad
After I made this dish last week, my 4-year old daughter requested “crunchy cucumbers” at every meal. Serve this light salad at this weekend’s July 4th cookout or bring it along on a summer picnic.
5 Ingredients: Spicy Cheesy Rice
Packaged, seasoned rice dishes are loaded with sodium and preservatives. Sure, it’s easy when it comes from a box, but why not try it yourself?

On Diet 101: Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet, KMO said:The cookies supress your appetite.. Much like diet pills but w/o the harmful side effects. I get to eat almost 3/4 lbs of chicken, turky or fish and a cup of green veggies/night for dinner. That is 500 calories. Put that on your plate and try to eat it! it is a TON of food. My husband is 6' 250 lbs and he has a hard time finishing it. Plus.. you're cutting out all the crap that people eat on a daily basis like soda, chips, fries.. it's a good way to get you to pay attention to what you are putting in your belly. Good luck with your Ice Cream diet and let me know when you reach 200lbs! This works. Don't knock it till you try it.
