Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie

(This was before the era of food safety regulation and inspection - I just made it in our home kitchen!) Dad had taught me how to make his chili, and everyone agreed it was in a class of its…

Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup

Cheeseburger in Paradise Skinny Soup by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Okay, so this is a soup not the burger Jimmy Buffett was singing about but it has all the fabulous flavors of a dreamy cheeseburger! And, you don’t even need to fire up the grill. Get ready to slurp up every last drop. My family did! It’s a very skinny main course soup since I’m using extra lean ground beef and draining the fat…

Classic comfort foods can be made healthier without giving up on good taste. Case in point - this Chicken Chili recipe. Fat is reduced in the sautéing of vegetables and by substituting chicken for beef. But there are plenty of flavors going on here so you won't ask "Where's the beef?"

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (with Pressure Cooker Option) by Salad Foodie

Lentil, Sausage and Vegetable Stew

Lentil, Sausage and Vegetable Stew by Salad Foodie

Based loosely on Curry Lentil Soup (on this site by John Spottiswood) I took several recipe liberties considering ingredients on hand, personal preferences and desired result. More a stew than a soup by the time I was done. With the seasonings and sausage - excuse the slang - "it's a bomb!"
