	Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos Miller This is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This…	3 votes 2 reviews 7 comments 11496 views
	Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…	13 votes 5 reviews 10 comments 16536 views
	Easy Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken With Quick Slaw by Salad Foodie A new twist on an old favorite - chicken and coleslaw - from Delmarva Poultry Industries Inc. I tried it using 2 different crumb coatings (corn flakes and panko) and found the corn flake crumbs gave better color and overall results. The buttermilk marinade makes the chicken moist and tender.	2 votes 1 comment 5079 views
	Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes by Salad Foodie Start to finish this can be on the table in 30 minutes, which represents 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes cook time in the microwave. This meal-in-one recipe comes from the heyday of microwave cooking in the 80's and 90's, and is always a family pleaser. Of course it can be baked in a 350 degree F. conventional oven instead, for an…	1 vote 5532 views

	The Barefoot Contessa’s Recipe for Perfect Roast Turkey Made Skinny by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox I love Ina Garten’s (Barefoot Contessa) recipe for roasting turkey.

It’s so much healthier than take-out and my family thinks it taste amazingly better!

The skinny for each…	1 vote 3 comments 6291 views

Happily, not my skinny ones! No deep frying here…I’m using skinless, white meat chicken and baking them. The bread crumb coating has a wonderful flavor similar to barbecue potato chips. The skinny for 6 chicken nuggets only 203…	1 vote 5953 views

	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…	1 vote 1 comment 5700 views
