Mom's egg noodle, tuna, and can of soup casserole was always comfort food at its best - but why not play with a new noodle? The international aisle of your grocers is a great place to find the wonderful noodles used in these terrific recipes.

Here we toss rice noodles with crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs, tofu and a light, sweet, tart and salty Vietnamese dressing flavored with fish sauce and wrap the mixture in lettuce leaves. For a vegetarian version, use reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari in place of the fish sauce. Pass the mixture, lettuce leaves and sauce separately so everyone can make their own wraps.

When it comes down to it, there are very few foods I’d pick over a creamy bowl of guacamole and crispy tortilla chips.

If someone asks me how much guacamole they should make for an event I’m coming to, my answer will inevitably be "More."

Maybe you are like me: the very rare times you settle for fast food for dinner, you think you can at least make a healthier choice by ordering the fish sandwich. In fact, a classic fried-fish sandwich you might get at one fast-food restaurant (I’m not naming names) can weigh in at 590 calories and 30 grams of fat. This healthier recipe for Crispy Fish Sandwich with Pineapple Slaw is ready in just 25 minutes and packs a lot of deliciousness into only 400 calories.

Gluten-free eating is a challenge that many Calorie Count members face. With a little help, eating gluten free can be satisfyingly delicious - and yes,  you can even have a nice piece of naan with the curry.
