Am I the only member on line interested in healthy, weight wise recipes? I enjoy dessert as much as anyone however on our day to day menu we try to eat healthy items including many fresh vegtables , even on our pizza. I don't seem to see many of these items featured. Wonder why ?

No you are not the only one I am also interested in weight wise meals. Can't anyone out thewre help us?

Maybe in two years Pillsbury will consider having a catagory for healthy recipes using various products. I am 65 and since we retired we have both lost over 20 pounds each just eating healthy foods everyday,even healthy desserts and we don't feel deprived. I hope Pillsbury will get on board. ( The new  Pillsbury cookie brand using just pure ingredients is a good start.)

Welcome.  Please post some of your recipes as I am interested in adding to my collection.  I have a few good low fat recipes but am not at home at present to look them up so we can swap.  Hope to here from both of you.  ldbayou

I've found many recipes and ideas on www.hungrygirl.com - always healthy and low cal another web site that I just discovered is www.muellershealth.com, and they are always adding new ones.

Thanks for the information, I have used hungry girl but the other one is new to me. When I have a break from my house guests I hope to post some ideas we have used during our past few years that have been successful. I hope someone connected with Pillsbury will focus on everyone's concern for healthy foods because I think we are facing a weight epidemic in our country for adults and children. Eating healthy weight wise food is a challenge but a goal all of us can reach. I include Pillsbury in that challenge, a new twist on the Bake Off contest ?

Our favorite is a fresh spinach pizza ( wish Pillsbury made a whole wheat pizza crust ) using fresh spinach, mushroom, roasted red peppers, sliced red onion, chopped pepperoncini, sprinkle cheese. Easy, tastes great, add red chile pepper flakes if you like spice. Entered a similar recipe into the bake off but didn't make the cut. Our whole family loves this pizza and I love it because it is quick , easy and healthy. I will share more but for the next two weeks I am busy with our house guest. I will look forward to others sharing their recipes.

Dear Cate,

Thanks for all the leads, the information is appreciated.

No problem marie1102: Thank you posting on the Pillsbury boards. We are so happy you are here! 

Sincerely, Cate

Hey Marie, Joan, and Cate,

These are great suggestions for healthy recipes. I also wanted to suggest our website, http://floridacrystals.com/recipe.aspx?id=31, there are some awesome entrée recipes that feature our organic sugar, such as the Teriyaki Salmon. Enjoy!

I also am interested in healthier recipes.  I love pillsbury however I have a 9 year old son with special diet needs and he's not allowed to eat more than 7.5 grams of fat at a meal.  Which means the fun, usual treats his friends are eating are off-limits to him.  I've learned to substitute several high fat ingredients to accomodate recipes but if anyone has any good idea that doesn't take away the fun or the taste in a kid's meal, I would appreciate hearing them.

thanks, jen
