Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…

German Meatballs and Sauerkraut

German Meatballs and Sauerkraut by Salad Foodie

I have never thought to serve meatballs on sauerkraut until I tasted this. Wow, forget about meatballs and spaghetti ~ this is delish! Perfect for anytime, and especially for Octoberfest. To serve several guests, I made the meatballs, cooked them and refrigerated a day ahead. About an hour before serving time, I spooned the…

Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes

Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes by Salad Foodie

Start to finish this can be on the table in 30 minutes, which represents 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes cook time in the microwave. This meal-in-one recipe comes from the heyday of microwave cooking in the 80's and 90's, and is always a family pleaser. Of course it can be baked in a 350 degree F. conventional oven instead, for an…

Sauerbraten Abkürzung

Sauerbraten Abkürzung by Salad Foodie

You already know what sauerbraten is, yes? Well to that I add Abkürzung: German for "short cut" (let's hope my Googled translation is correct.) After checking out several versions of sauerbraten, I blended a few ideas and ingredients from several and came up with my own time-saving formula! The roast cooks in a spicy sweet-sour…

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Sweet and Sour Meatballs by Salad Foodie

I served this at an informal dinner as mini-cocktail meatballs (1" size) but in a sweet and sour sauce, rather than barbecue, and everyone loved them. Next time they will be made into larger ones as an entree served with rice. I like the combination of meats in making meatloaf or meatballs, and ground turkey or chicken would be a…

Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup

Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Okay, so this is a soup not the burger Jimmy Buffett was singing about but it has all the fabulous flavors of a dreamy cheeseburger! And, you don’t even need to fire up the grill. The skinny for 1 serving is 207 calories, 3.8 grams of fat and 5 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. It’s such a fun soup with a whole lot of flavor. Don’t be…

Skinny Salisbury Steak, a Diner Classic

Skinny Salisbury Steak, a Diner Classic by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Salisbury steak has been a classic dish long before TV dinners were in the picture. Look on the menu of most diners and you’ll probably see this hamburger patty-style steak. It’s usually smothered with rich, dark, gravy and served with mashed potatoes. This recipe is too but I’m trimming the fat and calories by using extra lean ground…

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick!

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

Several good reasons to save this recipe: to use up zucchini; to keep the kitchen cool by microwaving the main dish; and because the meatballs are loaded with veggies, are moist and creamy. This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of…

Crockpot Beef Short Ribs with Mushrooms

Crockpot Beef Short Ribs with Mushrooms by Salad Foodie

Crockpot meals are perfect for busy days. A little prep in the morning, then let the crockpot do its magic on boneless short ribs. By the time you return hours later the tantalizing waft of dinner will welcome you, and the beef will be fork-tender. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice for the mushroom gravy bonus.
