Quick Meatloaf & Potatoes

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…

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger

Lotta Cheese Cheese Burger by Patti Fisher

We got a complaint from some friends that when they go out for burgers the meat is paper thin and the cheese, if you can find any, is tasteless. We had no choice but to say “See you tomorrow, come hungry!” Everyone was happily stuffed and knew they were eating a cheese burger. They may be back again tomorrow. Not only was there 2…

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick!

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…

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs by Patti Fisher

Sometimes we do a recipe just because it looks like fun, and this one was perfect for our 500th recipe on our new “Date Night Doins BBQ for Two” web site. (Almost 2 years old) This had everything we liked in a bacon cheeseburger, but with a fun twist. Ken put the cheese inside the burger, shaped it like a hot dog and wrapped it in…

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese

Italian Sausage Mac & Cheese by Patti Fisher

It’s amazing how many recipe requests we get for macaroni & cheese. That’s fine with us, it’s quick, easy and has unlimited variations. We used Ken’s favorite hot Italian sausage along with lots of his cold smoked cheddar and Patti insisted on fresh broccoli to keep it healthy. Being it was 101 here today we were more than happy to…

Skinny Steak Fajitas

Skinny Steak Fajitas by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

If you’re looking for a simple and delicious recipe for fajitas, your search is over. I’m using lean flank steak and broiling the steak first, before cooking with seasonings, peppers and onions. The meat is so flavorful cooked this way! It’s so much fun to let everyone customize their own. Each steak fajita has 200 calories, 7 grams…

Yummy Skinny Meatloaf

Yummy Skinny Meatloaf by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

My husband loves meatloaf like so many men do. I’m always looking for ways to create new recipes that cut the calories without cutting the taste. This meatloaf really delivers. It’s low in calories, super moist and has a divinely rich sweet ketchup glaze. It’s a whole lot skinnier than most meatloaf recipes because I’m using a…

Skinny Salisbury Steak, a Diner Classic

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…

Lite and Fabulous Steak Pizzaiola

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…

Delicious Stuffed Sausage Bread

Delicious Stuffed Sausage Bread by Amanda Millen

All too often, cooking or baking food takes up a whole lot of time and effort only to see the fruits of your labor vanish into the gorging mouths in a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds! Well, that's flattery for your culinary skill, I suppose. Still, it would be nice if sometimes the excellent product (such as a bread…

My Chinese Meatballs

My Chinese Meatballs by luv2cook4u

I come from a meatball loving family. Like I have said before – many think that meatballs are just balls of ground beef in spaghetti sauce and served with spaghetti. This is so far from the truth! Meatballs can be made in many different sizes – from the tiny ones you find in Italian Wedding Soup to the baseball-or bigger-sized…
