NUTRITION: 422 calories, 13 g fat (3 g saturated), 256 mg sodium, 19 g fiber, 17 g sugar, 26 g protein

MAKES 2 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup 3/4-inch cubes peeled sweet potato
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp salt
4 oz lean ground turkey sausage
2 eggs
Ground black pepper
1/4 cup salsa verde (optional)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT
In a medium skillet, cook sweet potato, covered, in hot oil over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add green pepper, paprika, and half the salt. Cook, uncovered, for 5 to 7 minutes more or until vegetables are just tender, stirring occasionally. Remove vegetables from the skillet; set aside.
In the same skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, using a spoon to break up sausage as it cooks; drain off any fat if needed. Stir in potato mixture. Push mixture around to create two 3-inch-diameter holes. Reduce heat to medium-low.
Carefully crack one egg into each of the holes. Sprinkle eggs with remaining salt and a little black pepper. Cover; cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until egg whites are completely set and yolks are to the desired doneness.
Divide hash and eggs between two serving plates. If desired, top with salsa and cilantro.

A Smoky Deviled Eggs With Bacon Recipe
We have an affinity for the humble egg, and this is why: the egg is not only delicious, but it's packed with all sorts of healthy nutrients you'd be hard-pressed to find in another food. Beyond being a nearly perfect nutritional substance (ignore what antiquated nutritionists tell you about cholesterol—nearly all of the current research will show you that eggs have no true effect on your overall cholesterol), no food is so versatile. Think about it, the egg is capable of being fried, poached, baked, boiled, scrambled, and emulsified. And, of course, as this recipe states, the egg can also be deviled. Yes, a deviled eggs recipe is not perhaps the healthiest of ways you can eat an egg (if you're looking for the healthiest, we would go to boiling or poaching instead), but in terms of snacks and finger food and satisfying cravings in between meals, this Southern specialty is one of the healthier choices you can make. And as you know (or as you will see once you make this amazing deviled eggs recipe), the dish is hard to beat!
NUTRITION: 220 calories, 17 g fat (4 g saturated), 370 mg sodium

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
8 eggs
1⁄4 cup olive oil mayonnaise
1⁄2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp canned chipotle pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
Paprika (preferably the smoked Spanish-style paprika called pimentón)
2 strips bacon, cooked and finely crumbled

HOW TO MAKE IT
Bring a pot or large saucepan of water to a full boil.
Carefully lower the eggs into the water and cook for 8 minutes.
Drain and immediately place in a bowl of ice water. When the eggs have cooled, peel them while still in the water (the water helps the shell slide off).
Cut the eggs in half and scoop out the yolks.
Combine the yolks with the mayo, mustard, chipotle, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Stir to combine thoroughly.
Scoop the mixture into a sealable plastic bag, pushing it all the way into one corner.
Cut a small hole in the corner.
Squeeze to pipe the yolk mixture back into the whites.
Top each with a sprinkle of paprika and a bit of crumbled bacon.

The Easiest Ice Cream Sandwich Recipe Ever
Food should be fun. If you ever want to encourage a child to learn the importance of feeding themselves well, this is the first lesson you need to impart. And what better way to do it than by setting up an ice cream sandwich station? Keep the cookies small and thin, the ice cream light (preferably Breyers All-Natural), and the toppings relatively healthy (more fruits and nuts than candy and marshmallows), and you can create a vast array of 200-calorie sandwiches. Our favorite combination? Genevas and coffee ice cream layered with banana slices and crusted in pistachios. The damage? Just 220 calories in this ice cream sandwich recipe.

NUTRITION: 200 calories, 11 g fat (4 g saturated), 19 g sugar

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
Ice cream
Graham crackers
Pepperidge Farm cookies (Chessmen and Genevas work best)
Ginger snaps
Sliced bananas
Sliced strawberries
Maraschino cherries
Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, pistachios)
Dark chocolate sauce (Optional; the darker the sauce, the less sugar and the more antioxidants it contains.)
HOW TO MAKE IT
Allow the ice cream to soften on the counter for about 10 minutes.
In the meantime, lay your ingredients of choice out on the counter, on plates, or in individual bowls.
Allow people to construct their own sandwiches, layering cookies with fruit and ice cream, then rolling the sides of the sandwiches in crushed nuts.
If you're looking to gild the lily, drizzle a bit of chocolate syrup over the top.
Make them quickly, as the ice cream will melt, and arrange on a baking sheet.
Place the sandwiches in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up, then dig in.
Eat This Tip
No single strategy can better ensure a lifetime of happy, healthy eating habits than bringing kids into the kitchen to pitch in with the cooking. Not only does it familiarize them with basic techniques and safety issues, but it also exposes them to a world of brand-new flavor combinations and foreign ingredients. A picky eight-year-old is more likely to eat that roasted broccoli if they have a hand in its cooking. It's best to start with something easy and fun, and nothing is simpler or more enjoyable than making ice cream sandwiches with a kitchen full of happy, hungry children.

Sheet-Pan Italian Pork Chops Make the Easiest Keto Weeknight Dinner
Pork chops are great for busy weeknights because there's not a lot of prep and they cook quickly. You can turn them into a sheet pan keto dinner by baking them with some hearty vegetables—cleanup will be easy, and you won't sacrifice flavor by skimping on the pots and pans. Plus, believe it or not, pork is one of the lightest meats you can eat, especially when trying to lose weight.

The key to a good pork chop, especially a keto-friendly pork chop, is the layer of fat around the edges. The fat is crucial to flavoring a piece of meat. Use bone-in chops when you can for better flavor, but even if you choose boneless, make sure your chops have some fat. As for the vegetables, broccoli and peppers work well, but the beauty of this dish is that you can use any seasonal vegetables (asparagus, carrots, Brussels sprouts). Along with the veggies, dried herbs, salt, and olive oil will impart delicious Italian flavors.
NUTRITION: 702 calories, 52 g fat (9 g saturated), 832 mg sodium, 16 g carbs, 6 g fiber, 4 g sugar, 47 g protein

MAKES 2 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE PORK CHOPS
2 boneless pork chops, ¾-inch thick
1 Tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp Italian seasoning
⅛ tsp salt
⅛ tsp black pepper

FOR THE VEGETABLES
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
¼ cup coarsely chopped bell pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
⅛ tsp salt
Dash red pepper flakes

FOR SERVING
3 Tbsp olive oil
¼ cup pitted green or black olives, quartered
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Lemon slices

HOW TO MAKE IT
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. On a cutting board, pound pork chops with a mallet to tenderize. Place chops in the center of the prepared baking pan.
Brush pork chops with oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bake 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine broccoli, bell pepper, oil, salt, and red pepper flakes; mix well. Spread vegetable mixture around pork chops. Bake 20 minutes, stirring once, or until slightly crisp but still tender. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork is at least 145°F.
Transfer meat and vegetables to plates. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with olives and Parmesan. Serve with lemon slices.

Healthy Scrambled Eggs With Salmon, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese RecipeTwo eggs scrambled in a pat of butter contain approximately 200 calories. So how do so many other restaurants sling together scrambles with more than 1,000 calories? Simple: excessive oil and egregious amounts of cheese. This healthy scrambled eggs recipe has all the makings of hearty breakfast fare—butter, cheese, protein—but with healthy fats, fresh vegetables, and a light caloric toll. Serve it with a scoop of roasted potatoes and fresh fruit.

NUTRITION: 320 calories, 17 g fat (6 g saturated), 540 mg sodium

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
1 Tbsp butter
8 stalks asparagus, woody bottoms removed, chopped into 1" pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 eggs (Spend the extra dollar or two to buy the highest quality eggs you can find. Free-range farmers market eggs are best.)
2 Tbsp fat-free milk
1⁄4 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese
4 oz smoked salmon, chopped

HOW TO MAKE IT
Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
When the butter begins to foam, add the asparagus and cook until just tender ("crisp-tender" in kitchen parlance). Season with salt and pepper.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with the milk.
Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper and add to the pan with the asparagus.
Turn the heat down to low and use a wooden spoon to constantly stir and scrape the eggs until they begin to form soft curds. A minute before they're done, stir in the goat cheese.
Remove from the heat when the eggs are still creamy and soft (remember, scrambled eggs are like meat— they continue to cook even after you cut the heat) and fold in the smoked salmon.
Eat This Tip
There is no shortage of stellar scramble combinations. Invent on the fly, or go with one of these flavor-packed approaches.

Sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and caramelized onions
Chorizo and onion, with diced avocado and chopped cilantro stirred in before serving
Chunks of chicken or turkey sausage, scallions, and cheddar
Cherry tomatoes, with a swirl of pesto stirred in at the last moment, or even a couple spoonfuls of spicy tomato sauce

A Healthier Takeout-Level Chicken Fried Rice Recipe
The name says it all: One of the most nutritionally dubious staples (white rice) combined with the most treacherous technique (frying). The calorie counts are predictably stratospheric; even a small scoop used as a base for a stir-fry will run around 500 calories. More important, it contains little to no true nutrition. Our recipe turns fried rice on its head, relying on a ton of fresh vegetables, considerably less rice, and a bit of oil for crisping it up.

NUTRITION: 390 calories, 10 g fat (2.5 g saturated), 720 mg sodium

SERVES 4
YOU'LL NEED
1 Tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
4 scallions, greens and whites separated, chopped (Scallion greens are best used for garnish at the end, whereas the whites should be used like onions, to build flavor from the beginning.)
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium zucchini, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 cups bite-size broccoli florets
2 cups mushrooms (preferably shiitake), stems removed, sliced
1⁄2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin bite-size pieces
4 cups cooked brown rice
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
2 eggs, lightly beaten
HOW TO MAKE IT
In a wok or a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
When the oil is lightly smoking, add the scallion whites, ginger, and garlic, and cook for 30 to 45 seconds.
Add the zucchini, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, using a spatula to stir the vegetables throughout.
Add the chicken and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, until the pieces are no longer pink.
Stir in the rice and soy sauce, and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the rice to get crispy on the bottom.
Create an empty space in the middle of the pan and add the eggs.
Use a spoon or the spatula to quickly scramble the eggs until light and fluffy, then stir them into the rest of the ingredients.
Serve garnished with the scallion greens.
Eat This Tip
You might not find it at your local Chinese joint, but really well-made fried rice contains grains with a lightly crisp, caramelized exterior, which deepens the flavor and the texture of the dish immensely.

To achieve that coveted crisp, you'll need to turn up the heat to high during the final moments of cooking. Don't stir the pan—just let the rice sit there for up to 2 minutes as the heat of the pan does its magic.
