This pie has apple, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar giving it that very distinctive fall flavors, but it's still light and creamy like a cheesecake.

Light and healthy shrimp stir fry.

I saw this recipe in the Oprah Magazine Cookbook and thought I must try it. It only has a few ingredients and comes together quite easily. You do have to have some patience when it comes to caramelizing the onions. So if you can do that, then it's a nice recipe for a light dinner or brunch.

This flavorful rice comes together very quickly with minimal effort. I call this kind of dish, "clean out your fridge fried rice", because it's a great way to use that leftover cooked rice and vegetables that need to be used up soon.
