Skinny and Delicious Chicken and Eggplant Pasta for 326 Calories! by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

We know it’s a mouthful but we’re talking real Italian comfort food here. Most Italian sauces take hours simmering on the stovetop. Not here… The beauty of this fabulous pasta dish is this flavorful sauce comes together in about 30 minutes. In fact,…

Barbecuing Meat the Sicilian Way

Barbecuing Meat the Sicilian Way by I Sicilian

Summer days are great barbecue days. Are American barbecuers spoiled? Having lived almost 40 years in the US of A, I include myself in this picture. For the average American household barbecuing with coals seems to be too much trouble. It seems that 63% of Americans prefer gas grilling over charcoal. It is just so much easier…

Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up

Elegant Shrimp Scampi Pasta Lightened Up by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

For a romantic dinner, try this superb shrimp, sauteed in a buttery, garlic and lemon wine sauce. It doesn’t get easier to prepare yet it taste so indulgent. Instead of having to prep the raw shrimp, by deveining and such, I like to use cooked shrimp. It’s so much easier and cooks in minutes! The skinny for each generous serving is…

Double Sausage Pizza by Patti Fisher

Ken’s friend David came over so Ken could help him fix his computer. To thank him he wanted to treat us to take out pizza. Oh no, my friend, Patti can make a sausage pizza to make shop owners cry. She uses lots of our favorite sausage and Ken’s smoked cheeses, plus Chef of the Future Floribbean Rub & Seasoning. An easy and quick pizza…

Italian Steak Salad

Italian Steak Salad by John Spottiswood

We adapted this from a Giada De Laurentis recipe. It's simple, but incredibly delicious. Our kids powered through more than we imagined possible. No leftovers at all! The biggest change was serving the steak hot of the grill instead of chilled. That makes a huge positive difference I think...as the warm steak contrasts wonderfully…

Salmon Saltimbocca

Salmon Saltimbocca by Bob Vincent

This is a wide left turn on Saltimbocca ala Romano normally made with Veal Scaloppine. I used salmon instead. Saltimbocca translates into "Jump-In-The-Mouth." Though I didn't make a sauce for the dish you certainly could if you want. A butter, garlic, white wine, shallot and sage sauce would work. I served the dish with lemon…

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini

Penne Alfredo with Italian Sausage and Zucchini by Denise Sherin

I had this dish at a local diner and loved it. So I recreated it at home it's an easy tasty dish. It looks like you spent a lot of time making it and it comes together so easily. In this picture I used just zucchini but I have made it with summer squash or a mix of both, whatever I have on hand, and it's great.

Tarragon Grilled Chicken Fillets over Salad

Tarragon Grilled Chicken Fillets over Salad by John Spottiswood

This recipe is adapted from one in Steven Raichlen's BBQ USA, which he in turn borrowed from a restaurant in SOHO, Manhattan. The flattened and then grilled chicken was absolutely delicious. Almost unbeatable. The salad was a also very tasty, though we had to add a lot of extra greens to prevent the dressing from being too heavy. I've…

Romanian Mititei (Little Sausages)

Romanian Mititei (Little Sausages) by Teodora Pogonat

This is a great traditional recipe for Romanian Mititei. Mititei are skinless sausages, usually grilled, and the name literally means "little ones". They taste really well grilled, but can also be pan fried and pair well with homemade fries or a tomato/cucumber salad. Traditionally they are enjoyed with mustard, a roll of bread and…

I opened the fridge to be happily greeted by a beautiful bouquet of parsley. With this, I was inspired to create a parsley sun-dried tomato pesto. This wonderful sauce turned out great! Pouring it on one of my favourite meal...PASTA...was truly a delectable bonus ;0)

Linguine with Mussels, Pancetta & Peas in Lemon-Tarragon Cream Sauce

Linguine with Mussels, Pancetta & Peas in Lemon-Tarragon Cream Sauce by Bob Vincent

This is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Cuisine At Home seven years ago. With the cream and pancetta it has lots of saturated fat. Enjoy occasionally for a flavorful pasta dish and you're not concerned about calories or fat. If you're not a…

Twin Prawn Linguine

Twin Prawn Linguine by Blackswan

One of the enjoyments for prawn lovers is to suck the juices & roes out from the heads. But for those who dislike eating prawn heads, most would discard after extracting their fragrant “juices” during the cooking process. One of my family’s favourite pasta is the Spaghetti Aglio Olio, often cooked with ham, bacon & mushrooms. I’ve…

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Tilapia with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

This tops my favorites of ways to prepare Tilapia. The recipe was one of the winners a few years ago in a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation. Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this snappy Spanish entree. (See "Useful Links" below for…
