Healthy and Delicious Dishes

At the end of a long day at the office or a hectic day chasing after the kids, the last thing you want to do is cook dinner. Chef Devin Alexander guides us as we excerpt these healthy and easy recipes from The Biggest Loser Cookbook for a delicious dinner that will save you money and calories.>

New Fashioned Meat Loaf

Though it's very low in fat, this is one of my all-time favorite meat loaves. The tanginess of the horseradish coupled with the ketchup makes it unique. Made with veal or beef, it's extremely moist, even compared to full-fat meat loaf. Though I don't like many low-carb ketchups, I use Heinz One Carb Ketchup here, which many of my testers claimed to enjoy even more than traditional ketchup.

Sweet and Spicy Pork Tenderloin

When people hear that I'm a "healthy chef," they often assume I'm a vegetarian, which, to anyone who knows me, is a ridiculous notion. I love meat . . . all kinds really, but this pork roast is of my favorites. In fact, my friend Marjorie and I made this roast one night and we loved it so much we wanted to eat the whole thing. When cooked right, this is as tender as can be.

BBQ Turkey Roast

I love making this roast on Sunday afternoons, then later in the week slicing them to use in sandwiches and salads, or even to cube them for healthy munching. This turkey is not only flavorful, but with 248 milligrams of sodium per serving, it's a very low-sodium option.

Cheesy Eggplant Lasagna

Though Amanda Carlson confessed to me that it's actually her husband who makes this recipe, it's one of her all-time favorites. She swears that "it tastes sinful even though it's low in calories." Amanda's husband also sometimes adds cooked Jennie-O Turkey Store Extra Lean Ground Turkey and Italian seasonings, which he layers in after the mushrooms.
