Guilt-free Chicken Nuggets, Oh Yeah by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Most kids love McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. I’m sure many grown-ups do too. But, they are so unhealthy! Happily, not my skinny ones! No deep frying here…I’m using skinless, white meat chicken and baking them. The bread crumb coating has a wonderful flavor similar to barbecue potato chips. The skinny for 6 chicken nuggets only 203…

Jalapeno Corn Muffins by BearNakedBaker

oatmeal dark chocolate chip cookies by Michelle Antol

These cookies are so soft and chewy, you can't tell these are healthy for you! Of course, I couldn't just make regular cookies with white flour. The whole wheat flour gives it a nutty flavor without having that full wheat taste. Adding the wheat germ gives it a nutritional boost that blends in with the batter without you ever tasting…

Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Mini Cakes by Salad Foodie

Mini-cakes with oatmeal, buttermilk, bananas and mini-chocolate chips......what’s not to like here? These make special treats for brunch or afternoon snacks, If you prefer to use regular milk rather than buttermilk, use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in place of that listed below.

Hard Boiled Eggs for cooks who can't boil water by Glenn

Forget the boiling water, colander, cracks and boil-outs. Hard "Boiled" Eggs made in the oven are easier, quicker, tastier and less prone to cracks and they are easier to peel. Who needs boiling water?

Solar-Baked Banana Bread by Salad Foodie

Too hot to bake nut breads? Get the solar cooker out and keep your cool! Just about anything you bake in the conventional oven has a complimentary solar-cooking method. This is my best banana bread recipe and when it’s cooler this fall I’ll post the same recipe baked conventionally. But here using only El Sol for the cooking energy,…

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie by Salad Foodie

How about a foot-wide chocolate chip cookie for a party or gift? This treat is quick and easily portable. Chocolate chip cookie recipes abound, but I like this one especially. It’s Wilton’s Chocolate Chip Cookie For Giant Cookie Pans, and never fails for me to bake to chewy perfection. Add a few icing decorations or pieces of candy…

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

A different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly.
