Skinny Turkey Chili by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Nothing beats a delicious and hearty chili on a cold day. Having friends over? Why not set up a chili bar where everyone can top their own. This fabulous chili is now very skinny due to using ground turkey and draining the fat, cooking the onions in the microwave and rinsing the beans before adding to the pot. The end result makes…

Apricot Pork and Beans by Carolinaheartstrings

Pork and beans – an “All American” side dish that I gave a little tweak to recently. We love the white Great Northern beans and I used them in this version with some dried apricots to create a side dish that could just as easily be served as a main dish. My sweetie was raised up on rice, a Carolina crop for centuries, and asked for…

Risotte with Greens by Carolinaheartstrings

What I love about this recipe is combining risotto, an Italian rice (rice – yeah a Low Country staple), with greens (yeah a Southern favorite). Being half Italian and loving Low Country cooking this recipe was a must-post for me. The greens I chose to use were turnip since they are a little more delicate than collards but you could…

Air Fryer Meatloaf by Nutrisystem The Leaf

Meatloaf is one of those classic comfort foods you really don’t want to have to give up when you start a healthy diet. But since it is typically made with ground beef or a mix of ground beef, pork and veal, meatloaf can be very high in fat, calories and sodium. Delicious? Yes. Healthy? Not exactly. Here’s the good news: With a few…

Portobello Spinach Burgers by Carolinaheartstrings

Of my contributions this is by far my favorite “creation” for our month of healthy recipes. I had always been curious about portobello “burgers” on menus but didn’t want to order one out when there were less healthy (ie: more tempting) items on the menu. Wow. This mushroom rocks. In an effort to be healthy I didn’t serve this…
