Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs

Asian-inspired Mini-Meatballs by Amos Miller

A perfect appetizer, great hot or cold, and can be easily made the day before the party in a large crock pot. All you’ll need is toothpicks and tiny plates! I’ve built upon an interesting recipe I found for meatballs with a teriyaki sauce and the inclusion of, yes, dried cranberries. This was so tasty when I first made my…

Skinny Steak Fajitas

Skinny Steak Fajitas by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

If you’re looking for a simple and delicious recipe for fajitas, your search is over. I’m using lean flank steak and broiling the steak first, before cooking with seasonings, peppers and onions. The meat is so flavorful cooked this way! It’s so much fun to let everyone customize their own. Each steak fajita has 200 calories, 7 grams…

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum!

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum! by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Foreman grill, Panini maker or in a pan. The deep, subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions really add a wonderful flavor to these little gems. To make them skinny, I’m using…

Ruth's All American Casserole

Ruth's All American Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

July’s recipes have an All American theme and what could be more “All American” than meat and potatoes right? My friend at work brought me a wonderful Church cookbook to look at and this recipe caught my eye. It was her father’s favorite and her mother had submitted it to this cookbook nearly 25 years ago. An oldie but a goodie…

This peasant style stew is so hearty and perfect to make for St. Patrick’s Day. I’ve made a skinny version by using lean beef, carrots, onions and potatoes but also adding sweet potatoes.

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This Italian classic is simply steak topped with a quick cooking, zesty, pizza-like sauce. Sometimes it’s topped with cheese. I’m using very lean top sirloin but if you’d prefer to use flank steak or skirt steak, just reduce the cooking time a bit. Doesn’t matter how you cook your filet, the sauce absolutely makes this dish. The…

Mini Meatloaves

Mini Meatloaves by Carolinaheartstrings

I held out as long as I could. I really did. I had to make meatloaf for our “Food from the Heartland” month. It is the ultimate comfort food to me on a cold winter evening and one of my favorite meals, usually with mashed potatoes and green beans. The perfect combination. This time I decided instead of making a whole meatloaf I…
