Lemon Paprika Tilapia

Lemon Paprika Tilapia by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious version of Tilapia that we adapted from a Bon Appetit recipe. We served it with the quinoa recipe linked below. It was a great combination. I put only a small amount of the sauce over the fish as the salt/pepper/paprika tilapia sauteed with a little butter is delicious all by itself!

Turkey Stuffing or Side: Brown & Wild Rice w/Apples, Cranberries & Pecans by Salad Foodie

At last ~ a HEALTHY stuffing.....that seems like an oxymoron! High in fiber and nutrients but low in fat, this recipe is based on one from the USA Rice Federation. It's quick to make and can be the poultry stuffing, served as a side to holiday…

Shrimp Creole

Shrimp Creole by John Spottiswood

This isn't all that fancy or exotic, but it's a wonderfully rich and fully flavored. If you want greater authenticity, you can substitute butter where I have used olive oil. I love butter, but try to control it for health reasons. It's delicious as I have made it, so no need to add the extra butter in my opinion.

Homemade Refried Beans

Homemade Refried Beans by John Spottiswood

I'm ashamed to say that though I LOVE refried beans, this is the first time I've ever made them myself. It's just so easy to buy them in a can, or at a mexican restaurant, that I haven't bothered. But this recipe is simple and it is definitely worth the effort in my mind. I figure my kids are the true test, since they aren't that…

Pan Fried Alaskan Cod with Caper Butter

Pan Fried Alaskan Cod with Caper Butter by Lisa Faley

I love cod. I love it’s whiteness, it’s meatiness and well, it’s taste. I had stayed away from all fish for a while, feeling I didn’t want to contribute to the “irresponsible fishing methods” that endangered other sealife (sea turtles, seals, seabirds, etc.) as well as creating enormous waste. This cod is Alaskan hook and line…

Ground beef and Zucchini Saute

Ground beef and Zucchini Saute by Nancy Miyasaki

I had some fresh zucchini from our garden and I needed something quick to make. I found a recipe online and adapted it to make it a bit more flavorful. This is comfort food...not appropriate for a dinner party, but definitely tasty. If you spice it up and add a dollop of yoghurt on top, it is reminiscent of yummy side dishes served…

Ham & Cabbage Hash

Ham & Cabbage Hash by Salad Foodie

This is a fast dinner-in-a-skillet recipe, and a good way to use up leftover ham or roast beef. Lots of vegetables make the meat go further and keep calories, fat, sodium and carbs to a reasonable level. A healthy and homey stand-by recipe for breakfast and/or casual dinners.

Balsamic Chicken

Balsamic Chicken by Kristen Podulka

I will admit–I make this recipe a lot. It’s so easy, so tasty, and done in no time. Plus my family and I love it! My favorite way to serve this chicken dish is with mashed potatoes and steamed green beans. But it also goes well on whole wheat pasta or along side Oven Baked Rice. See if it becomes a regular dinner in your house!
