Earlier this month, we shared the top 20 recipes that were tracked by members. Today I'm sharing my own top 10 recipes, as "chosen" by members. Of the hundreds of recipes I've created for SparkPeople, both for SparkRecipes.com and for "The SparkPeople Cookbook," these are the ones that have been tracked most often. Slow Cooker Marinara Chicken and Vegetables (Chef Meg's Makeover)  Chef Meg made over a versatile member recipe by adding extra vegetables and reducing the sodium.

Take advantage of the local farmers market and buy whatever root vegetables they have.
