		<description><![CDATA[Tired of heavy mayonaise-laden cole slaw?  Here&#8217;s a very healthy version of the cole slaw without any mayo in it! Even if you are not watching your calories, this recipe is a really nice change from a traditional cole slaw.  It tastes very refreshing, light and crunchy! Ingredients For The Healthy Cole Slaw Without Mayo: 1 small cabbage 2 carrots 1/4 lime 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper to taste How To Make Healthy Cole Slaw Without Mayo: Cut cabbage into 8 parts and discard the core.   Peel the carrots.

Here&#8217;s a picture of Trader Joe&#8217;s package of Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce: Ingredients For The Salad: Mache (Lamb&#8217;s) Lettuce Avocado Balsamic Vinegar Olive Oil How To Make A Salad Whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make a dressing (3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar).  In a bowl, toss the mache lettuce with the dressing.  Put the lettuce on a plate.

Ingredients: 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters 1 lb ground turkey 1 onion, chopped 1 tbsp oil 1/2 cup milk 1 egg 1 tsp cumin 3 tbsp honey salt and pepper to taste Directions: Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Add the potatoes and boil for 20 minutes, or until tender. Preheat the oven to 375F. While the potatoes are boiling, heat the oil on a non-stick frying pan and cook the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes.  Add the ground turkey and sprinkle with cumin.  Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink.  Add salt and pepper to taste. When the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and put in a large bowl.  Add milk and honey and mash with a potato masher. Put the meat mixture into a large non-stick baking dish (spread it evenly), then spread the mashed sweet potatoes on top.  Whisk the egg in a small bowl.  Brush the top [...]]]></description>
