No Harm Eggplant Parm

Ingredients:

• 1 large eggplant
• 1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 large egg whites)
• 1 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original); ground to a breadcrumb-like consistency in the blender
• 1 cup canned tomato sauce w/ Italian flavoring 1 cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup reduced-fat grated parmesan-style topping
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper
• Optional: dried Italian seasonings (basil, oregano, etc.)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Slice ends off of eggplant, and cut it lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Use a paper towel to blot eggplant slices on both sides (to remove excess moisture).
3. Spray a large baking pan with nonstick spray.
4. Season Fiber One crumbs with garlic powder, salt, pepper and, if you like, additional seasonings.
5. Coat eggplant slices on both sides -- first with egg whites, and then with Fiber One crumbs.
6. Place slices flat on the baking pan, and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Then, flip slices over and bake until browned on both sides (about 10 minutes longer).
7. Remove pan from oven, but leave oven on. Spread 1/4 cup of sauce over the bottom of an 8" X 8" baking dish sprayed lightly with nonstick spray.
8. Arrange half of the baked eggplant slices evenly over the sauce. Continue to layer ingredients evenly in this order: sauce (1/4 cup), mozzarella and parm topping (half of each), sauce (1/4 cup), eggplant (remaining slices), sauce (1/4 cup), and cheeses (remaining amounts).
9. Cover dish with foil and return to the oven. Bake for 25 minutes, or until heated throughout.
10. Allow to cool slightly, and then cut into quarters. Enjoy!

Queen-of-the-Castle Sliders

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. raw extra-lean ground beef
• 2 slices light bread (40 - 45 calories each with at least 2g fiber per slice)
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 4 hamburger dill pickle chips
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. onion powder
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• Optional condiments: ketchup and mustard

Directions:

1. Combine beef and seasonings in a small bowl, and knead mixture by hand until integrated.
2. Divide seasoned beef evenly into four balls. Flatten and form each ball into a square patty on a plate.
3. Using a knife, make four small slits on the top of each patty. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes.
4. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Spread onion out on the pan.
5. Place the patties on top of the onion, slit-side down, and cover the pan. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes (no flipping necessary), or until cooked through. (I flipped mine.)
6. Meanwhile, cut each slice of bread into four squares, for a total of eight pieces. (If you like, slightly toast bread first.) Feel free to spread ketchup and/or mustard onto four pieces. Set aside.
7. Once patties are cooked through, scoop each one along with the onion beneath it onto one piece of bread.
8. Top each with a pickle chip and then another bread piece (or the other way around, if you want to be fancy!).
9. Let cool slightly, and then slide 'em into your mouth!

4. Bring a large pan sprayed with nonstick spray (butter-flavored spray if you have it) to high heat. Stirring occasionally, cook peppers, onions, and mushrooms for 2 minutes (just long enough to brown the outsides).

6. Place dish in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
