Tallerine Casserole by Salad Foodie

Tallerine, talerine, tallerini...I’ve no idea of the spelling or origin of this vintage casserole but it remains a crowd pleaser yet today. I’ve tweaked my 70's recipe somewhat ~ it’s one of those recipes that adapts easily to variations.

Dad’s Tavern Chili by Salad Foodie

As an adolescent I was commissioned by my dad to make a huge pot of chili for his tavern weekly, and I earned fifty cents a batch doing so! (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…

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…

Skinny Salisbury Steak, a Diner Classic by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Salisbury steak has been a classic dish long before TV dinners were in the picture. Look on the menu of most diners and you’ll probably see this hamburger patty-style steak. It’s usually smothered with rich, dark, gravy and served with mashed potatoes. This recipe is too but I’m trimming the fat and calories by using extra lean ground…

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

Several good reasons to save this recipe: to use up zucchini; to keep the kitchen cool by microwaving the main dish; and because the meatballs are loaded with veggies, are moist and creamy. This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of…

Crockpot Beef Short Ribs with Mushrooms by Salad Foodie

Crockpot meals are perfect for busy days. A little prep in the morning, then let the crockpot do its magic on boneless short ribs. By the time you return hours later the tantalizing waft of dinner will welcome you, and the beef will be fork-tender. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice for the mushroom gravy bonus.

Mom's Cheesy Beef Enchiladas by Wendi Taylor

A tex-mex family favorite.

Super Bowl Sirloin Soft Tacos by Patti Fisher

Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on the grill but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or…

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions, Yum! by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Foreman grill, Panini maker or in a pan. The deep, subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions really add a wonderful flavor to these little gems. To make them skinny, I’m using…

Oklahoma Brisket by Robert Long

A great tender brisket different from smoked brisket

Band Booster hot dog sauce by Les Hunt

Hearty Beef Stew with Mushrooms, Carrots and Potatoes by ChefBlogDigest

Stufato di manzo Italiano ( Beef Stew) by J. Gino Genovesi

Stews have been around for many years, in many nations with such diverse recipes. All types of meats are used in what some call stew. It is sometimes called "poor mans meal" because one can use many types of meats and vegetables. In my family we like stews and serve over mashed potatoes, rice and with corn and other vegetables.…

Skinny Sliders with Caramelized Onions by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Minimizing is the new super-sizing and these little sliders are terrific. No need to heat up the barbecue because these mini burgers are best made on a George Forman grill, Panini maker or in a pan. The deep, subtle sweetness of the caramelized onions really add a wonderful flavor to these little gems. To make them skinny, I’m using…

Cajun Meatballs by Chef Smith

You can make these as spicy as you want by adding more hot sauce. Also for a different taste combine 1/2 lb lean beef and 1/2 lb of ground spicy sausage
