Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard SauceSalmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine.

Low Calorie, Quick and Delish, Coq au VinThis 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… |

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… |
