Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes

Garlic Herbed Sweet Potatoes by Amos Miller

TRY THIS AT EASTER - it is a signature dish! It is sweet and savory with fresh herbs, dairy products and chicken broth. This is a North Carolina recipe, naturally healthy and rich in beta-carotene, the most common plant source of vitamin A. But who cares! This is delicious, even if it is good for you...besides, sweet potatoes…

Holiday Magical Bars Made Skinny by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Many of you know these outrageously delicious bars as Magic Bars or Hello Dollys. I’m calling them, “Magical Bars” because they are just that. In fact, they’re probably the best bars ever created! They’re super rich and decadent. These magical bars require no mixing and best of all, you don’t sacrifice flavor for the lack of work!…

Skinny Turkey Chili

Skinny Turkey Chili by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Nothing beats a delicious and hearty chili on a cold day. Having friends over? Why not set up a chili bar where everyone can top their own. This fabulous chili is now very skinny due to using ground turkey and draining the fat, cooking the onions in the microwave and rinsing the beans before adding to the pot. The end result makes…

Easy Prep BBQ Sauce

Easy Prep BBQ Sauce by myra byanka

I'm experimenting with low-cost, easy to make bbq sauces, and like this one a lot. It's basic and you can add things to it like Tabasco, celery seed, etc. I calculated the cost of the ingredients at $2.40, making a 1/4 cup serving cost about 28 cents. Makes enough for 8-9 guests..

Leftover 2-Bean Stew

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

Roasted Butternut Squash

Roasted Butternut Squash by B Innes

To roast butternut squash you can either roast cut in half, cut side down, in a pan with a little water for about 1-1½ hours and then scoop out of the skin or peel, seed, cube and roast for about 30 minutes on high heat. My version uses a light marinade to oil the cubed squash and add a little sweetness. I keep it simple, but feel…

Delightfully Light Chicken and White Bean Chili

Delightfully Light Chicken and White Bean Chili by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Don’t be fooled by the look of this pale colored chili. Yes it’s not a traditional chili but it’s really great tasting. Much lighter than most, it includes some unusual chili ingredients such as potatoes, hominy and white kidney beans. What a yummy way to add more fiber to your diet. Just one cup contains 7 grams of fiber! Hat’s…

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon)

Bacon Mac (Macaroni & Cheese with Bacon) by Salad Foodie

It's hard to improve on an American classic, but I think this recipe based on Cooking Light Magazine (9/09) does just that. I stayed fairly close to its version and am glad I did. We loved the smoky flavor bacon imparts to cheesy pasta, and the extra zing from hot sauce. You will need a broiler-safe baking dish or pan for this. I used…
