This recipe for chess squares is similar to many others I've seen, but in my opinion, these are the best! They are also great for bake sales when individually wrapped.

Stovetop Omelette for One
Breakfast is said to be the most important meal of the day, and this hearty omelette includes veggies, turkey bacon, and cheese. Serves one hearty appetite or two smaller appetites.
Sausage Egg Casserole
Assemble the ingredients the night before, and bake this casserole in the morning. Stand back and wait for the compliments. I've made it with fat free cottage cheese, egg substitute, and reduced fat sausage; the taste is still wonderful!
Cucumber Tomato Salad with Zucchini and Black Olives in Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette
This zucchini salad is a deliciously light and fresh-tasting twist on cucumber tomato salad. It takes me to the water's edge and begs to be served with fresh seafood. Substitute Greek Kalamata olives for black olives if desired.
