What is your best low-calorie recipe?

I've recently lost 35 pounds, and here are a few things I think really helped:
Kashi Instant Oatmeal--kept me full until lunchtime
Smoked Almonds--for when I was craving bacon
Radishes--when I wanted something crunchy
Green Giant brand "Healthy Weight" frozen vegetable mix--have one serving at dinner, the other cold on a salad for lunch the next day
Cabbage-Mushroom Stirfry--one head Napa cabbage, sliced into approx 1" ribbons and 1 8oz package sliced mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms in a little oil or chicken broth until you think they're about halfway cooked, then add the sliced cabbage. When the cabbage just begins to wilt, add about a Tbsp of soy sauce and a Tbsp of sesame oil. If you have some, add a couple of splashes of rice wine vinegar. Cook until the cabbage is crisp-tender. This is usually enough for 1 dinner serving and 2 lunches.

The Best Pies in America: The Serious Eats Pie Honor Roll

The Norske Nook in Osseo, Wisconsin has pies good enough to plan a trip for. The strawberry is gorgeous, the merengue pies are enormous, and the sour cream blueberry apple, my favorite, could make you weep with pleasure!

This is my fast food lunch...I get Amy's Tamale Pies....They are low calorie and high fiber. While one is microwaving for 4 1/2 minutes I cut up one romaine lettuce heart or 1/4-1/2 a head of iceberg, a red pepper and I dice some onion. I pour the tamale pie over the salad and serve it with Barbara's Mango Peach salsa (or whichever other I have around), perhaps a tablespoon of Total 0% yogurt and maybe a couple of sliced olives...It turns into an extremely filling Taco salad....which is less than 200 calories (and if you think of weight watcher terms it's only 2-2.5 points depending on whether you add the yogurt or the olives...)

NOOOO! Oh my god, it's not on there. The Park Cafe in Saint Mary, Montana, right outside the entrance to Glacier National Park. You have no idea what you're missing. It's almost good enough to make me move to Montana. It's one of those places where, for the rest of your life, you'll be saying "oh lord, remember that pie place? what was it called? it was soooooo good." There's a couple of OK pie places around here (Zingerman's, a branch of the Grand Traverse Pie Company, and some good stuff in Detroit) but nothing I've ever had hold a candle to this place. It's beyond comprehension.

Hi, Ed,

Just reading some of past entries on here and was excited to see an entry on pies. One place to add to your list should have the opportunity to visit Round Top, Texas (a small Antique-festival community about 1.5 hours from Austin): Royer's Round Top Cafe. A finer slice of strawberry-rhubarb pie I have never had. Their bacon-wrapped, shrimp-stuffed quail also leave an impression.

Hope ya enjoyed the 3D U2 movie. Was quite an effect to witness a concert video like that.

The list would not be complete without the Key Lime Pie from the Blonde Giraffe in Key West. They have won their local contest for many years. A visit to the Florida Keys would not be complete without a piece of their pie!

In the L.A. area, Jongewaard's Bake and Broil, just off the 405 near Atlantic Blvd in Long Beach, CA is better than both the better known Pie N' Burger and Du-Par's, IMHO.

Great list... though I've been so disappointed with Soutine's pies and tarts over the past few holidays that I don't think I'll be going back. I'll have to give some of the other NYC establishments here a try.

Zingerman's Bakehouse, in Ann Arbor, Michigan makes fabulous pie (among all of their other fabulous baked goods).

Hey, y'all! I think, by way of his throw-down, palatineboor just invited all us Serious Eaters to come have his wife's pie in August!

I second Duarte's in Pescadero! Their ollalieberry pie is amazing - and the apricot pie is wonderful as well. But I must say, I'm saddened that pie from within San Francisco's city limits didn't make the list. I love pie...and I love S.F., but I guess we just aren't a pie city.
