| Eight Ways With Quinoa |
| For those who can't eat wheat, quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) is a great alternative to pasta and couscous. Even if you can eat wheat, a side dish or salad made with quinoa makes a nice change. Quinoa provides all eight essential amino acids, which makes it a complete protein, making it popular with vegetarians. It's also a good source of iron, fiber and B vitamins. Despite its status as a super grain, quinoa is technically a seed. Grain or seed, be sure to add some quinoa to your diet. You can find it in many grocery stores, and fairly inexpensively at Trader Joe's.

| Just Peachy |
| Nothing beats a fresh peach. Juicy and succulent, peaches are certainly one of the highlights of the summer. Peaches are wonderful raw, but they're also something special when they're cooked. This simple dessert of roasted peaches is good enough for company, as well as a nice change for the family. Simply top them with a spoonful of thick, nonfat Greek yogurt and perhaps a drizzle of honey.

| Share: What's Your Favorite Low Fat or Light Ice Cream? |
| Near our house is a wonderful little dairy that sells the creamiest, most delicious ice cream that beats the pants off the premium commercial brands. Outside their store is a sign that counts down to the launch of a great seasonal flavor -- most recently, cantaloupe. The lines out the door on the sunniest of days seem to encourage more people to visit rather than less. Their ice cream is truly to die for. But for those of us trying to eat low fat, ice cream is one of those foods we need to limit. Made with cream and sugar, it's a dieter's worst nightmare. Indulging occasionally is OK, so long as we try and stick to a small half-cup portion (which looks pitifully small, I grant you). But what about those low fat or light ice creams out there? Have you found a great brand that's almost as good as the real thing? Which brands of low fat ice cream do you recommend, and why?

| Cold Comfort |
| One of the best ways to cool down in the summer is to eat soup. Soup, you say? I'm referring to chilled soup, of course, although plenty of people are happy to slurp their way through hot soup no matter what the season. This cucumber soup is is a great example of a summer soup. It's wonderfully cooling and refreshing, and makes good use of calcium-rich nonfat Greek yogurt.

| When It's Too Hot To Cook |
| With the mercury rising, the last thing I want to do is spend a whole lot of time in a hot kitchen, and much as we enjoy a barbecue, my husband doesn't particularly want to swelter over a hot grill every night, either. I'm not even that hungry when it gets this hot. Time, then, to fall back on some easy, low-fat, no-cook favorites to see us through.

| Healthy Watermelon and Tomato Salad |
| Enjoy this watermelon and tomato salad at room temperature, which apart from bringing out the flavors, is supposed to allow us to enjoy the maximum health benefits from the watermelon. Like tomatoes, watermelon is an excellent source of lycopene, a disease-fighting antioxidant, which is most potent in room-temperature fruit. A small drizzle of heart-healthy olive oil, and a sprinkling of low-fat feta cheese allows us to enjoy a great-tasting salad without much sacrifice.

| 10 Ways to Use Low Fat Yogurt |
| Slash fat and calories by using low-fat yogurt in place of sour cream, cream, and mayonnaise in savory dishes. Use it in and on desserts, and in all kinds of other recipes, too. Fat-free yogurt can also be used in many recipes, especially if you use nonfat Greek yogurt, which is naturally thick and creamy, making it less likely to curdle in cooked dishes. 10 Ways to Use Low-Fat Yogurt Photo © Fiona Haynes, licensed to About.com, Inc.10 Ways to Use Low Fat Yogurt originally appeared on About.com Low Fat Cooking on Monday, July 5th, 2010 at 00:01:09.Permalink | Comment | Email this |

| Why You Should Eat Salmon |
| Here in the Pacific Northwest, salmon is almost taken for granted. It's easily available, though admittedly not cheap, and enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Salmon is a fatty fish, however, and many people following a low-fat diet might think they should avoid it. But you really shouldn't. A four-ounce serving of salmon is full of important nutrients including omega-3 fatty acids, which our bodies need but cannot generate. The American Heart Association recommends that we eat at least two servings of fish a week. Laura Dolson, our Guide to Low Carb Diets, has an excellent article explaining why salmon should be one of them.

| A Low Fat Fourth of July Menu |
| I love the Fourth of July. I may be a Brit, but I celebrate America's Independence Day along with everybody else. My American-born children sport their Old Navy flag t-shirts with pride. They enjoy eating hot dogs, followed by ice cream; then they wait impatiently for dusk to fall and the fireworks to begin. Now I hate to be a party pooper, but the problem with the Fourth of July is the sheer volume of fattening foods: mounds of potato salad, juicy burgers topped with goodness-knows-what, dense and fudgy brownies, scoops of ice cream, and so on. But if you're looking to lighten the load, there are many ways to reduce the calories and fat in many of these. Here are some great low-fat Fourth of July options.

| Melon Berry Medley |
| Getting your daily requirement of fruit is so easy during the summer months when there's a tempting rainbow of delicious, ripe berries and other seasonal delights. With fruit's natural sweetness, it's the candy of summer--only better for you. This refreshing fruit salad features sweet and juicy cantaloupe, fresh raspberries and dusky blueberries. And this particular combination of fresh fruit is excellent from a nutritional point of view. All three are brimming with vitamin C and are good sources of potassium. Cantaloupe is a great source of beta-carotene; and fiber-rich raspberries and blueberries are known for their disease-fighting antioxidants.
