Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs by Salad Foodie

Years ago I had an Italian neighbor who became a close friend. I always commented on her delicious meatballs and one day she shared the recipe with me. I have made them ever since about the same way. You can vary the meats using what's on hand, but I usually select lean ground beef, turkey, chicken or lamb, with an equal amount of…

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This Italian classic is simply steak topped with a quick cooking, zesty, pizza-like sauce. Sometimes it’s topped with cheese. I’m using very lean top sirloin but if you’d prefer to use flank steak or skirt steak, just reduce the cooking time a bit. Doesn’t matter how you cook your filet, the sauce absolutely makes this dish. The…

Lazy Eggplant Lasagna

Lazy Eggplant Lasagna by luv2cook4u

We've all heard about Lazy Pierogie – so why not try Lazy Eggplant Lasagna? This didn't take long to make at all – it's so hot and humid that I took a jar of my homemade meat sauce out of the freezer the day before to thaw so that I could use it and not need to have a pot of sauce simmering on the stove!

Low Calorie and Delish, Coq au Vin

Low Calorie and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic chicken dish. The French pronunciation is kɔk o vɛ̃. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it. My version uses white wine instead of red wine, which creates a lighter tasting sauce and is cooked on the stove top instead…

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice

Chicken with Roasted Red Pepper & Chipotle Rice by Salad Foodie

Starting with a recipe that won a contest sponsored by the USA Rice Federation, I took the liberty to substitute chicken for the original recipe’s fish (see “Useful Links” below for the Tilapia version.) Using prepared jars of red roasted peppers and chipotle salsa cuts down on the preparation, but certainly not the taste of this…
