	Chicken Tender Rollups with Bacon Wrap by Salad Foodie The basic version of this recipe abounds on the Internet, using boneless chicken breasts and gouda cheese. I tweaked it to use what I had on hand, and that was chicken tenders. The resulting rollups are smaller, almost luncheon size, and you can use the cheese you prefer if no gouda's available - Swiss, cheddar, jack, mozzarella.…	1 vote 2095 views
	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.

	Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard Sauce by Salad Foodie Salmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine. This treatment features a crunchy crust of pecans atop the fillet, which is baked on a bed of spinach. *Next time I will steam the spinach separately to have more control of its doneness as on my first go-round it was overbaked (but the…	2 votes 3129 views
	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…	1 vote 5203 views
	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…	1 vote 1 comment 4380 views

	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.
