Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms

Easy Risotto & Gourmet Mushrooms by Amos Miller

Risotto scares too many cooks. It's really a simple dish, though not commonly served at the American dinner table - unless you have some (usually Northern) Italian blood in your family. When done with care, risotto can be a sublime accompaniment to all types of dishes. In fact, you can add all types of things to a risotto to…

Chicken Pot Pie Skinny-fied!

Chicken Pot Pie Skinny-fied! by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

Chicken pot pie is considered the ultimate comfort food. It’s a savory pie filled with a luxurious chicken stew. It’s been popular forever! When you take that first bite it always provides a warming feeling and really satisfies an empty stomach. One big problem-it’s actually one of the 30 worst foods in America. Why? Because a typical…

Garbage Salad (not really)

Garbage Salad (not really) by Amos Miller

This salad will make the meal, or be the meal. Broccoli, oranges, almonds, raisins, mushrooms, onion & bacon - and a fabulous classic sweet & tangy creamy dressing! Vegetarians can substitute bac-o-bits, or not add a bacon substitute. Throwing together bits and pieces of a variety of items has long been the basis of some great…

Christmas Jewels (Fruit Cake Cookies)

Christmas Jewels (Fruit Cake Cookies) by Salad Foodie

A munchy spice cookie with loads of nuts. Mixed candied fruit adds the “jewel tones,” moisture and softness. These perky and tasty nuggets won’t last long on the cookie platter.

German Drop Cookies

German Drop Cookies by Salad Foodie

Pecan-laden German Drop Cookies are reminiscent of Mexican wedding cookies, but I like these even better for the cinnamon-laced powdery topping. You can make ahead and freeze the dough if well wrapped, then thaw and bake at a later date. This recipe appeared in Relish Magazine a few years ago.

Low Fat and Dreamy, Chicken Stroganoff

Low Fat and Dreamy, Chicken Stroganoff by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This time of year is all about hearty comforting foods. Traditional Stroganoff is made with thin slices of beef, onions, mushrooms, all sautéed in butter and combined with a rich sour cream sauce. This skinny recipe uses similar ingredients but with many reduced-fat replacements. For example, I’ve swapped the beef with boneless,…

Goulash Soup!

Goulash Soup! by Salad Foodie

Goulash: A mixture of many different elements; a hodgepodge. That description fits this soup to a T .... as in TASTY! Just the week's leftovers married in a flavorful seasoned broth. One of my humblest yet surprisingly successful mishmashes, and we haven't even tasted it the second day! Use my ingredients below as a base, but sub…

Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au Vin

Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au Vin by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

This is a wonderful low calorie and low fat version of the French classic. It’s so easy and straightforward. I’ve served it many times and everyone loves it. My version uses white wine instead of red wine, which creates a lighter tasting sauce and is cooked on the stove top instead of the oven. The skinny on one serving is 234…

Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo

Cajun Chicken Linguine Alfredo by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

A bit spicy, a bit creamy, this decadent pasta brings a classic Chicken Alfredo to a whole new level. It’s bursting with flavor and spice thanks to the Cajun seasonings. If this doesn’t wake up your taste buds, nothing will! Don’t worry though, if you don’t like your food too spicy, just add less seasoning and it’ll still taste…

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick!

Apple Crisp – Microwave Quick! by Salad Foodie

I haven’t found a quicker apple crisp recipe that tastes as good (or better) than oven-baked. Simple prep and fast cooking make this a perfect dessert when you’re short on time. Plus you can make it year round as the microwave won't heat up the kitchen.

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.…
