Mini Meatloaves by Carolinaheartstrings

I held out as long as I could. I really did. I had to make meatloaf for our “Food from the Heartland” month.

This time I decided instead of making a whole meatloaf I…

Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo, Skinnyfied by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Shrimp Fra Diavalo Pizza by Carolinaheartstrings

“Fra Diavalo” which literally means “devil brother” is a popular sauce often used with seafood. The “devil” in this case is a little heat courtesy of the use of some black and red pepper. I would consider this only moderately spicy since we are, frankly, pretty wimpy about spicy food in our household. If you are bolder then go…

Do not debeard them until just before cooking, or the mussels will die. Remember to discard any mussels that remain open when tapped before cooking, and all that don't open when…

Simple and tasty and the most of…

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…

Taco Casserole by Carolinaheartstrings

There is never enough Mexican food in my diet. I seriously could eat it every day in some form, tacos, quesadillas or a delicious easy classic casserole like this one. I have been making this particular recipe for years and it was always a favorite of my children when they were small. You have to be mindful of the sodium level…
