Avocado Pasta

Avocado Pasta by Wendi Taylor

Delicious, creamy (with no milk or cream!), and healthy. Makes a great side dish, or top with grilled chicken for a complete meal. Pairs well with grilled chicken, grilled or baked pork chops, baked or sauteed fish, or boiled shrimp.

Peach Rum Sauce

Peach Rum Sauce by Salad Foodie

Lip-smacking delicious! A spoonful of this delicately flavored luscious sauce turns ordinary desserts into memorable treats. Warm and serve over ice cream, or use for French toast or your morning breakfast bread. The first time I made this recipe (found on freshpreserving.com) I was skeptically cautious, canning it in small jars to…

Granny Smith's Apple Pandowdy

Granny Smith's Apple Pandowdy by Amos Miller

Makes your eyes bug out & your stomach say "Howdy!" Fusion can be confusin', so let's get back to an ol' timey American dessert, not found on menus in fancy restaurants. This is just good country food, like I got when I'd have dinner at Nellie Keeling's home up Horse Mill Hollow, near Glasgow, W. Va. Pandowdy is a highly…

Super simple - fast - packs just enough punch. It will be the best you ever tasted. Bring on the cervesas, margaritas - and lots of quality tortilla chips! Just like Chipotle - but homemade!

Potluck Apricot Cobbler

Potluck Apricot Cobbler by Salad Foodie

An old-fashioned cobbler makes a hit with crowds and one of my favorite cobbler fruits is apricots. These perky golden first fruits of summer have a nice balance of sweet and tart. Fresh in-season fruit is preferred, but I have often used my stash of frozen cots from season’s past, and they work well for cobblers, as do canned. This…

Blueberry Buckle

Blueberry Buckle by Salad Foodie

Chock full of blueberries, the tender and not-too-sweet cake batter produces a mid-morning coffee cake or dessert ‘extraordinaire’! A light streusel-like topping bakes to a fine crunchy top and it does indeed buckle or crumple a bit!

Ruby Red Strawberry Pie

Ruby Red Strawberry Pie by Salad Foodie

Couldn't be an easier pie to make - and perfect for summer's lighter menu fare. A nice do-ahead gelatin dessert that takes just minutes to prepare. You can "have your pie and eat it too" for less than 150 calories per slice when you make a few changes to the recipe below: just substitute no-added-sugar gelatin, reduced-fat graham…

Nanner Sushi

Nanner Sushi by Chef Smith

Having to make cute little tea party foods for a little girls "upscale" tea party I was asked to make several finger sandwiches for the kids. I came up with a twist on the usual peanut butter sandwich and made it sophisticated. I actually eat this for a snack at work...

Breakfast Frozen Fruit Pops

Breakfast Frozen Fruit Pops by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Yes, in deed, these icy pops are nutritious enough to enjoy even for breakfast! We’ve taken our recipe for Jamba Juice’s Pomegranate Paradise Smoothie and filled a pop mold. This is one of Jamba’s very popular “all fruit” smoothies. It’s just juice and frozen fruit! Most of their original smoothies contain frozen yogurt or sherbet,…

My Skinny McCafé Strawberry Shake

My Skinny McCafé Strawberry Shake by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Take creamy fat-free ice cream and milk, add loads of luscious strawberries and such and the results are pure deliciousness! It’s so flavorful, it doesn’t need to be topped off with whipped cream and a cherry like many choose to do at McDonald’s. Their shake is not even made with real strawberries! McDonald’s uses a strawberry…
