	Low Calorie, Quick 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. 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 of the oven.

	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…	1 vote 1 comment 4332 views

	Grilled Salmon and Pineapple with Avocado salsa by John Spottiswood None of our kids thought they were going to like the grilled pineapple in this recipe, but they all ended up loving it and we had none left over!

This month we are cooking up dishes that we…	1 vote 1649 views
