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…

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…

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…

Open Face Beef & Egg Sandwich with Sauteed Onion & Tomato

Open Face Beef & Egg Sandwich with Sauteed Onion & Tomato by Wendi Taylor

This delicious meal is super simple, uses only a few ingredients, and makes a great main course for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Don't let the number of steps scare you - I tend to break it down to ridiculously detailed instructions so it's easy for anyone to understand (there are a lot of readers using translation software, and…

Las Vegas Recipe Guru Summerlin Southwest Style Meatballs by Las Vegas Recipe Guru Summerlin

How does adding a little kick to a good spaghetti dinner sound. These meatballs can be used for anything. They can even be portioned out in sealable small plastic sandwich type bags and frozen for later use. Ground turkey can also be used in place of the ground beef. The leaner the main ingredient, the leaner the dish. Don't…

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…

Super Bowl Sirloin Soft Tacos

Super Bowl Sirloin Soft Tacos by Patti Fisher

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on the grill but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or…

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…

Ground Beef Mozzarella Potatoes Au Gratin by Wendi Taylor

This twist on the classic recipe turns a typical side dish into a main course. You can substitute 1 lb fully cooked chopped ham or 1 lb fully cooked diced chicken breast or the ground beef.
