Tilapia is low in calories and contains omega-3's making it an excellent choice for a delicious heart healthy meal.  Seafood in general tends to be high in important nutrients like magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron.  Tilapia is mild tasting as far as fish goes and it is relatively inexpensive.  Nutrition experts say you should eat fish 2-3 times a week.  This recipe is also low-carb as well.  So what are you waiting for?    Parmesan cheese can also be substituted for the Asiago cheese.    A sprinkling of Old Bay Seasoning makes this very flavorful and the cheesy topping makes is extra yummy. Just sprinkle the Old Bay Seasoning evenly over the fish.  You can add more or less to suit your taste. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook fish about 4 minutes on each side. Remove fillets from skillet and place on a prepared baking sheet.  Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each one and then sprinkle Asiago or...

Asparagus is the nutritional start of spring.  The are a dieter's dream, with 12 large spears having only 45 calories and naturally low carb. They contain about 30 percent of the RDA of vitamin A and a generous amount of potassium to help prevent cancer, high blood pressure and stroke.  In addition, asparagus contains no cholesterol and virtually no fat, making it an excellent choice for those concerned about heart disease.  Plus it tastes great in this recipe.  What's not to love about that?

Place on baking sheet and...

Cauliflower is a cancer fighting cruciferous vegetable that is loaded with vitamin c and fiber.  It is also low carb and with only 30 calories per cup it makes a great replacement for traditional pizza crust.  And it also tastes so good in this recipe you won't even miss the real thing!  A head of cauliflower makes about 3 cups of riced cauliflower.  I doubled the ingredients and made a couple of large pizzas. Rinse and chop the fresh cauliflower florets into chunks. Place into a food processor and pulse until it looks like grains of rice.  Place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes.  Add Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, shredded cheese and egg. Pat onto a pizza pan sprayed with non-stick spray or in this photo I used parchment paper on a pizza stone. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 13-15 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven and top with you favorite pizza sauce and toppings of your choice.  Return to oven and...
