Beef Casserole with Cornbread by Carolinaheartstrings

Today is my first recipe for our “Foods from the Heartland” theme this month (beef and grains). And boy, my sweetie was happy to hear about this month’s theme. He can’t help it. He’s a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy: the son of a butcher. A Piggly-Wiggly butcher no less and I admit when it comes to buying beef I do appreciate his…

Low Fat and Dreamy, Chicken Stroganoff by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This skinny recipe uses similar ingredients but with many reduced-fat replacements. For example, I’ve swapped the beef with boneless,…

Lighten Up with this Easy Turkey and Apple Meatloaf

 by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This is a light, flavorful twist on a classic meatloaf. To make it skinny, I’m using ground turkey and adding grated apples, shredded onions and carrots, egg whites and multigrain bread crumbs. In addition, free-forming the meatloaf allows the excess fat from the turkey to remain on pan, not in the loaf. The crowning glory is the…
