and this...
and even this! (these were all your suggestions)
Requests have been scattered via email, Twitter and Facebook and at times get lost in the shuffle, so I thought having a home for them all in one place would be the best way to keep them organized.
Even if I may not make something right away, this will be a great way to slowly tackle your long list of demands : )
So please, keep it brief and to the point, I will try to make a few each month in no particular order, usually whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. I typically cook by season so if you make a pumpkin request or something seasonal, chances are I may try it later in the year.

Barbecue Chicken Pizza
Breakfast Pizza
Honey-Glazed Walnut Shrimp (We get it from a local restaurant and I assume it's something like the one I found here: http://www.cookbookpeople.com/blog/2009/12/31/blue-moon-honey-glazed-walnut-shrimp/#awp::2009/12/31/blue-moon-honey-glazed-walnut-shrimp/)
Palak Paneer
Massaman Curry
----
Okay - wow, that was an ethnically varied selection there. ;)
Agreed,the Paula Deen one is amazing but fattening!
PIG Cake! and yes honey glazed walnut shrimp from Panda Express!
Yes, I would love a healthier alfredo sauce. Thanks for all you do, Gina!
Lumpia & Caramel cake/cupcakes
Gina, I love lemon! I would love to see any lemony dessert or bread. Lemon cake. Lemon muffins. Lemon-blueberry bread. Lemon cookies. Whatever strikes your fancy.
Ramen dish with a poached egg, scallions and shredded pork .. nomnomnom.... I second Massaman Curry... Pad Thai.. recipes with GOAT CHEESE! :D More dips, sauce and marinade recipes too please! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!
PAD THAI!!!!!!
Mac and Cheese Dish that includes a variation of
Flavorful Manchego cheese accented by fresh fennel and onions.
or
Cheeseburger Mac Cheddar and American cheeses combined with seasoned Ground Beef
Wow you have a lot of requests. For me, my biggest challenge is pizza dough. Do you have any suggestions on how to make it healthier or better for you? I love pizza but I eat it once every few months because of all of the calories in the dough. I could totally do a veggie topping and even skip the cheese, but I am a bread addict and would love to find a skinny version of pizza dough.
Que Pasta
2 ancho chili peppers, stemmed and seeded
3 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3/4 pound ground beef
3/4 pound fresh chorizo

1 pound spaghetti or whole wheat spaghetti
1/2 cup grated queso asadero, cotija or Jack cheese, plus more to pass at table
Finely chopped scallions, cilantro or parsley, to garnish
Great idea, Gina! You have already done a few of my requests--like the skinny baked onion rings. Just keep those makeovers coming!

How about a healthy makeover for chicken cordon blu??
the sauce on the 'pasta with asparagus' tastes just like alfredo but theres no butter! :)
Chicken "friend" steak??? :)
A gravy recipe would be wonderful :)
DIM SUM BABY!
Yummy! White Pizza would be amazing Gina-style! Even a simple pizza dough ;)
Yay for fettuccine alfredo!
yummy caramel cake and lumpia!
I agree!!!I love lemon!Lemon cake with a lemon glaze (here's to wishing! lol) or lemon bars (my family is always asking for these lol)would be wonderful.
I would thoroughly enjoy a skinny Ramen dish :)
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a skinny Lumpia! We make ours with shredded pork, shredded chicken or ground beef, and lightly sauted cabbage, carrots, celery, scallions, garlic and ginger (grated or dry.) Season with soy sauce, pepper and salt. We usually wrap it in a lumpia wrapper but egg roll wrappers work well too. I make a garlic vinegar dip which consists of white vinegar, garlic, a little sugar, salt, pepper, a dash of pickled chili pepper juice with sliced pickled chili peppers being optional. The problem is the cooking process. I know the wrappers can be baked but am having trouble reaching the desired "crispness." Thank you for all you do and for humoring our requests :)You're awesome!
Oriental chicken salad. Thanks for the WW points, they are always so helpful.
Could you create a yummy and healthy granola recipe?!
PLEASE do this!! I'm so addicted to that sauce! I always used to ask for extra just to dip my fries in!
Oh yum, chile relleno! I bet you could do a lower cal casserole version!
You could try this recipe (not from here but it IS quite good) http://www.laaloosh.com/2011/03/04/country-fried-steak-and-gravy-recipe/
Making a heartfelt request for a lobster bisque!
Gina can you make Real Pork Bacon healthy? :) Really though, maybe Egg Rolls with the duck sauce?
A simple pizza dough please Gina!
that sounds yummy!
Gina can you make a yummy quinoa cake recipe? I've been seeing a lot of them but I know you could come up with the best one =)
I'm pretty sure Gina has made that one =)
My husband has requested green bean chicken stir-fry. Maybe this summer when green beans are in season?
Chimichangas :) Definitely.
Yes,Thai please!
Ok, I'm going to be selfish and ask for some dairy free/soy/dairy alternative recipes. I'm very allergic,but LOVE meals with creamy,gooey dairy like substances...who doesnt,right? I would love to see soy mac n cheese or creamy soups, or whatnot. That said, I adore your recipes Gina!! Every single one has been a success, thank you!
I totally support this one! Something really garlicky.... yum:)
Let's See.... I love Cranberry Sauce. And it's so high calorie:( and I'm talking about the jelly type. Not the chunky stuff.
I also request for a better pizza dough. The cauliflower crust trend is just not doing it for me.
PF Chang's Honey Chicken... and maybe their Calamari but that would be really hard.
And most importantly (this is soon to be in season) I NEED STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE!!!!! I mean, i neeeeeed it.
Thank you so much! Obviously i dont expect you to make all of these, but hopefully i will spark some interest at least:)

Could you re-do this one from the Pioneer Woman:

It looks scrumptious but when I run the calories, it's high in calories.
Pei Wei's pad thai!
My vote/hope is for Chili's regular chicken crispers (w/honey mustard dipping sauce) and regular macaroons. Everyone wants to accessorize them with drizzled chocolate and other things. Yum for calorie slashing purity?!

Fettucine Alfredo!
Thx Gina...I LOVE your site :)
That last picture with the noodles and veggies. Looks so Yummy. Where do I find the recipe. Gina!!! Awesome site. Thanks
I would love to see a Pesto Sauce! Except I see so many recipes making it with a blender. If you could make a recipe with and without a blender that would be wonderful! Pesto is so healthy and good for you and I'm sure you'd be able to make a wonderful dish Gina!
That is Cajun pasta, here is the link

This is a Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp, lighter than a pie but just as good!
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/05/strawberry-rhubarb-crisp.html
I would love to see an makeover to making Italian wedding soup :)
We are desperate for really good Asian recipes for the crockpot... every one we've ever made has been a flop, with the exception of your Asian Pork with Mushrooms.
We'd love to see a skinny crockpot version of a Thai curry, but anything Asian in a crockpot from you would be amazing!
I would love to see a Fattoush salad and chicken shwarma!
Yes, please, for me too! Preferrably without the common sugars, so maybe with maple syrup or something?
Could you do somethign with quinoa? It's supposed to be the new super grain and it's really healthy and versatile, but I don't do yoga or eat tofu, so I am nervous to try a recipe from a crunchier web site. You make food that tastes good and appeals to everyone. Please, give me something I can do with quinoa!!! Thanks!!
I used to make this chicken casserole for my fiance and me ALL THE TIME. It's so delicious, but I'm not sure about the nutrition: http://family.go.com/food/recipe-919708-bow-tie-chicken-t/
I already use Pam instead of oil. Are there any ways to lighten this even more? I started Weight Watchers in February and would love to still be able to eat this!
Mexican sopes would be wonderful for Cinco de Mayo :)
Caprese Pasta Salad
Dear Gina,
some of your recipes include already made things like "Heart-smart biscuit" which is not available in Europe...what can I use instead of things like that? I so enjoy cooking to your recipes and our whole family is dropping pounds like crazy...( not that we are fat or anything like that, but we are healthier) and my kids love the flavors that your dishes like Skinny Salisbury steak which I made two days ago taste like...I was sick and tired of daily thinking of what I could cook that was healthy and weight friendly and I'm so glad I accidentally found your page...thank you for your hard work in keeping us healthy. Kind regards from Slovenia.
I would love to see this recipe (Baked Lemon Pasta) from Pioneer Woman made over. It's simple and delicious, but highly fattening.
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/05/baked-lemon-pasta/
Not to rain on Gina's parade, but WW has an awesome lemon bar recipe - only 3PP ea and REALLY lemony! http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeid=126211
A lower calorie version of the cinnabon. I love those things. Even a mini version would work.
Yes, I've been trying to contact you to try this, I love chili relleno, and need a skinny version!!
Caramel Slice! My gosh Gina, if you could recreate my biggest trouble maker, you would quite possibly be my favourite person in the world!
Gina - I am craving mini corn dogs and would love to make them lower fat. You have done such an excellent job with all of your recipes.

Peanut butter and jelly cupcakes :)
I just found a recipe for strawberry margarita cupcakes. Great idea but I'm sure the stats are horrifying. People still use shortening? http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/strawberry-margarita-cupcakes/851579df-9736-4478-a885-dd751f050817#?nicam4=SocialMedia&nichn4=Facebook&niseg4=BettyCrocker&nicreatID4=Post
Okay, last one, I swear. So I found a recipe for strawberry rhubarb (more interested in the rhubarb) cupcakes. It was even called 'healthified'-but it was filled with sugar and oil and had 260 calories! Any rhubarb recipes would be awesome, though. Thanks!
Cake pops, please! All the recipes I am finding are made with oil, eggs and a can of frosting, before you coat the outside in chocolate. Thanks!!
I second this request!!! Love love love tres leches and flan but both are oh so sinful :)
Gina I see that you are probably overwhelmed with the response of all these different makeover requests but I have to add 2 more good ones that I would love to see - and I think they are simple to makeover as well - one is a ginger dressing - like the kind they use on salad in Japanese/Sushi restaurants - and the other is a tea biscuit cookie recipe..my boss got these buttery organic tea biscuits from a farmers market and they are just too good. Hoping you can make a lower fat recipe for them. Thanks for all your hard work!
Hello, eager to try your "vegetarian" Macaroni and Cheese bake with broccoli, I started to jot down the items I need to get at the store. However, one of the ingredients, chicken stock, is not vegetarian. I will make with vegetable stock, but this menu item is not truly vegetarian if it includes chicken stock. Thanks, looks yummy!
Hi Gina, I just discovered your site a few days ago and am sooo addicted! Thank you for all your hard work to make yummy delicious food healthy! I wanted to add a recipe to your repetoire that I adore that is already pretty healthy but I know you could make it even better. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Garlic-Soup-with-Poached-Eggs-106993
I make it with less olive oil and toast the bread in the oven and rub it with raw garlic after. Thanks again for all you do!
Ginger Molasses Cookies, please!
Hi Gina, I don't know the name of it other then the ramen noodle salad- has pumpkin seeds in it it is VERY yummy but I am sure not good... can you remake that one? If you know what I am talking about that it :O)
WW friendly Banana pudding pls
I would love a recipe for a single serving of the avena oatmeal shake. Maybe made w/ an in dividual packet of instant oatmeal?

I LOVE Amy's Tofu Scramble (In the freezer section). I have tried to replicate it, but haven't been able to do so yet. Would LOVE to see what you would come up with.
Hi Gina! I make a pizza with spinach leaves, artichokes, feta cheese, motz cheese, alfredo sauce, and procuitto. It's so nummy but not so healthy! :) Maybe you could throw a twist on it and make it more friendly but still goood? Thanks!
baked beans please!!!
Chicken Gyros... I have such a craving. Even this recipe is about 500 calories: http://sweetpeaskitchen.com/2011/03/31/chicken-gyros/
thanks. love your blog!
Hi Gina,
One of the things I LOVE about your recipes is that they are seasonal. I live in Australia, so my seasons are reversed and I'm cold! I've been dying for a great moussaka recipe and I'm sure it would absolutely be worth the wait for US winter =)
I've seen several "pins" lately that involve preparing a large quantity (30, 40, 50...)of slow cooker meals at once and freezing. This appears to be convenient and economical! But the recipes often involve sugar-laden sauces, or tons of starchy potatoes/rice/pasta. I would love to see something like "30 Days of Healthy Slow Cooker Meals to Save Time and Money"!! This is a great concept, but high GI foods do a number on my system. A more health-conscious version would be awesome!!
Hi Gina, Love the Chewy Granola Bars, but please, please, please work on a CRUNCHY Granola Bar recipe. Please! :D
I would love a recipe for peanut butter cookies (baked) using one of your favorite ingredients, "Better n' Peanut Butter"
Ever Thought of doing a Kid menu? Or just a section of meals (mostly dinner) that kids really enjoy? I always have a hard time finding healthy kid loving meals. It seems I have to go thru all the meals and pick out the kid friendly ones. Thanks!
Anyway you could make a skinny version of chocolate chip cookie dough dip? It looks so yummy & would beca perfect treat to take to a picnic or get together if it was skinny! Love your recipes!!! Thank you so much!
I think this could turn into a great summer recipe-
http://www.recipe.com/seaside-blt-pasta-salad/
I love Italian Cream Cake. It's my favorite. Would really like to see it on Skinnytaste Make-Over"
Gina, I can't tell you how much I love your blog - you are so amazing!!!!!! You said in one post that you're more of a savory person than a sweets person, and I am the exact same way - the only sweet I really like are coconut sugar cookies. I've been searching high and low for a skinny sugar cookie recipe, but alas. I would love to see your take on this classic sometime! And if you included the NI/points for rolling the cookies in coconut before baking, well, I would probably put you in my will :)
- Becky
I second that Chile Relleno ! :)
Cinnamon Rolls! (:
Nopalitos (I dont know if they sell them where you live).
My husband is gluetin intolerant, no wheat, rye, oats or barley, what can i use in place of flour or bread crumbs
Oh please please make a healthy version of Chinese bao zi.
lemon meringue pie
peanut butter cookies
creamy pesto sauce
creative quinoa recipes!
Glazed or any sort of donuts!
Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo! I just don't think its possible to lighten that up!
I tried searching your blog to make sure you didn't already have a recipe for it, but I was having issues getting around the site. But I would love to see, and try, your version of baked oatmeal. I found a recipe for it on a different blog recently and I LOVED it. It was so easy to make it up the night before and then bake it the next morning. I loved the flavor and texture, BUT it called for butter, brown sugar, eggs, and what not which I think made it add up to about 300 calories per serving. That's an estimate BTW. I used a recipe analyzer thing, and I don't know how reliable that was. Anyway, I hope to see a baked oatmeal recipe from you soon! :)
I'm always looking for new breakfast ideas! I eat oatmeal just about EVERY day because it's quick, easy, and I can spice it up differently each day to suit my mood.
Any other speedy breakfast ideas? My biggest problem is staying full until lunchtime!
I would love to see a canoli recipe, yum!
Applebee's Fiesta Chicken Chopped Salad - Chopped lettuce tossed with black bean corn salsa, roasted red peppers & onions, tortilla strips, white cheddar and spicy jalapeño dressing, mounded nicely with chimichurri-glazed grilled chicken.
Please make burritos, particularly with pinto beans, rice and cheese. Whole wheat tortillas too. (Something like that, okay? Whatever you can do). Thank you.
Hi, I'd like to know how to lighten up a dutch baby. My family loves them and I am sure I could use egg beaters and/or part egg whites, but not sure what to do about all the butter. If just reducing it would work or not. The recipe I currently use is....
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1 cup milk (I already use skim)
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt
Thanks!!
looking for low fat, low cal stuffed green pepper recipe
Baklava!!
Lemon poppy seed muffins!
Can you please work out some kind of Chicken Pot Pie? It's such comfort food in the fall/winter. Thanks!
I'm adding my plea for pecan pie as many others on here have! :) Also, a low cal pizza dough. And poppy seed cake!
Hi Gina!! LOVE LOVE LOVE your site!! Just wondering if you could re-do the Vietnamese dish called Bun. It's soooooo good but when I looked at the calories on line I was shocked. I like to make it with Shrimp to keep calories down. Also can you post some Quinoa recipes? The only thing I make is a Greek salad and I would love to incorporate it with more dishes. Thanks so much I know you have a ton of requests. Keep 'em coming because you feed my family! LOL
Pizza with cauliflower "crust". Perhaps using your homemade pesto as a sauce?
LOVED your Chicken Rollatini with Spinach alla Parmigiana...wondering if you could substitute eggplant for the chicken to make an awesome eggplant rollatini. I think it would be fabulous...and less points to boot!
Could you please, please, please tackle eggs benedict? I just discovered your blog and I love it! Thank you!
How about some skinny coffee cake recipes? :)
I always get the shaved steak and shaved chicken at the supermarket and don't do much with it besides add mushrooms, peppers and onions. I'd really love some more healthy creative ways to spice it up!
My husband and I LOVE pizza rolls, but have given them up because we are trying to eat a bit healthier. Is there any way for a healthier version to be made?
Gina,
Love all your recipe options. Have you considered making over the Taco Bell Cantina bowl - chicken version? Theirs is 560 calories and 22 grams of fat. Please???
I would love to see a healthy version of Moussaka - perhaps vegetarian? Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!
Southwestern chicken over salad. Tried to do this myself but it needed more.
Hi Gina,
Ciocolata Calda.. It's Italian hot chocolate. It's so delicious and there are ways to make it "skinnier", I am hoping that you could post a version of a skinnier version so that other can learn of the magic of italian hot chocolate =)
Thank You,
Stephanie
Hi Gina! I was hoping for a chicken kiev makeover. My husband loves the recipe his mom makes, but it has a stick of butter! YIKES. I'm going to try to use egg whites to coat the chicken the lightly brush the top with melted butter. I'm sure you can come up with something much better though :)
Chicken Schnitzel - it's almost time for Octoberfest! I can't seem to make my husband eat it without frying it!
I love this website! It's helped me so much!
I would like to know if you've come across any healthier versions of White Chocolate Macadamian Nut Cookies?
This caramel apple cheesecake bars look awesome and SO, so bad for us. Can you work your magic to make them healthy enough to fit into our eating plans?
http://sixinthesuburbsblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/caramel-apple-cheesecake-bars.html
I would love a redo of poppyseed chicken that didn't require cream of mushroom soup. This is one of my families favorites. It's easy and delicious but very fattening. Thanks! Similar to this one: http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/poppy-seed-chicken-10000001578351/
Hi Gina,
I have a wonderful recipe for Ranch Tetrazzini. Do you think you could make this over?
½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
1 jar (4½ ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained
1 package (9 ounces) linguine
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1½ cups Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 slices white or whole wheat bread
Hi Gina,
I'm looking for a healthy way to make a turkey pastrami. Do you have a recipe for a "skinny turkey pastrami rub"?
I found the following one ... which contains (too much?) sugar and salt.
1.5 tbsp coriander seeds and
1,5 tablespoon black peppercorns
coarsely crushed in a mortar and mix with
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (do not press!)
1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
2.5 EL Coarse salt
2.5 EL Brown Sugar
Edelsüß 2.5 tbsp paprika
1 tsp ginger powder
0.5 tsp nutmeg (or Musaktnuß) ground
Hi gina
I loved your chicken zuchinni enchilada boats and had an idea go make it into a Mexican pizza with black beans and low garb shells. Could you make this recipe up?
Hi Gina, Looking for a skinny version of roast beef dip, especially on the sodium content! thanks!
Hi Gina,
I don't know if this has been asked or requested before but I am a pretty busy person during the week. Which recipes would work if I froze/stored the main ingredients (the ones that take the longest to prepare) on the weekend and put the rest of the stuff together during the week?
The season for comfort foods is almost here. I'd love a recipe for chicken pot pie with real crust, not a bisquick cheater crust. I see the recipe for soup, but the real thing would be awesome.
Mmmm. Love eggs Benedict. The only difficult part would be the hollandaise.
Hi Gina,
I make Tres Leches cake every year over the holiday. Is there anyway you can remake it.
Thanks
I second the request for Chili's queso! Or the traditional Velveeta/Rotel mixture. It's almost college football season, please Gina!
Hi Gina!
Just went to the fair this past weekend and I may have had a um... few... corn dogs while I was there! There is just something about that crispy corn bready goodness wrapped around a hot dog that makes my taste buds dance. The aftermath on the scale however wasn't quite so amazing! Any way to lighten these up while maintaining the crispy breading? The soggy poncho pup ones found in the freezer isle just don't do it.
Thanks!! :)

I would love a healthy pumpkin muffin recipe for this fall! Maybe even one with some chocolate in it. I have made the addictive pumpkin muffin recipe from allrecipes but was not that impressed. I know you can top that one! :)
Hi Gina,
I love Pioneer Woman's food blog, but since I am living the weight watcher's lifestyle her food just will not work for me any more. I saw this recipe of hers for Italian Drip Beef:

I'm dieing to try it, but I'm pretty sure it would blow my points for the week! I was wondering if you could come up with a good slow cooker recipe for Italian drip beef that we all could live with?
Thank you so much!

Hi, Gina,
I just discovered your site and I LOVE it! I'm thrilled that it is WW-friendly, too!
I saw your recipe for baked onion rings and it looks so yummy, I can't believe it is only 2 PP! I can't wait to try it!
I'm looking for a better way to make what I call my "Deconstructed Green Bean Casserole" - some better way to get that crispy onion texture, but not with breading or flour.
Currently, I caramelize onions in the slow cooker, saute sliced mushrooms on the stove, and then mix them all in with green beans and some low-sodium soy sauce. It's okay, and everyone likes it a lot, but I'm always on the lookout for a better way to prep the onions.
Ideally, they'd be just as crispy as those canned, french-fried things but without the fat or carbs, and definitely without that greasy mouth-feel!
Any ideas for me?
My mom just passed away and the food of hers i loved so much was chicken and dumplings. Hers were, however, not too healthy :) Maybe you have made this? I would love a lightened up version. Ultimate comfort food!
