Roasted Potatoes: by Kimberly

I always have such a hard time with side items.  This one has become a staple at our house. 

Red Round potatoes
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 medium yellow skinned onions, thinly sliced
4 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin
1 ts crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup tbs extra virgin olive oil
course salt and pepper

Cut red potatoes in quarters. Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!

Lite Frito Bandito by Ashley

I love making Chili this time of year and I don't know about you, but I always have so much leftover. This is a great way to change it up. My boys loved it. Obviously this is the healthier version from the hungry girl blog, which is what I ate, but for the boys I used real cheese. Either way it is good. Ingredients: 1/3 cup low-fat turkey or veggie chili ( I used my normal chili recipe which has extra lean beef in it.) 1 La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Low Carb High Fiber Large Tortilla (or alternative below) 2 tbsp. shredded fat-free cheddar cheese 1/2 package Fritos Original Corn Chips 100 Calorie Pack (or other alternative below!) Optional: 2 tbsp. diced onion Directions: Place chili in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and heat for 45 - 60 seconds, until hot. Set aside. Lay tortilla flat on a microwave-safe plate, and warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Spoon chili down the center of the tortilla. Cover the chili with cheese, and then top with Fritos.

Here is where it gets tricky...you keep adding paremesean cheese, whipping cream, salt and pepper until you like the way it taste and the...
