Inside-Out Cheeseburgers
Very Good 4.0/5

Why put the cheese on top of the burger when half of it just melts off? Instead, form the burger around the cheese so you can char the meat and safeguard the more delicate flavors. Use any mixture of hard or semihard cheeses--Emmentaler and Gouda or Asiago and Parmigiano-Reggiano also pair well.

Single serving pear or apple crisp may be microwaved, baked in the oven, toaster oven or a combination of both. Satisfies part of your daily fruit servings and your sweet tooth! Any fresh fruit would work nicely. I might try fresh peaches next time. Sugar substitutions could probably be used with good results.

Surpisingly keeps the flavor of the tuna, but at the same time gives it a bit of a boost. Rice vinegar gives a nice crisp flavor. Great with roasted veggies and some rice pilaf.

This recipe's at its best when marinated overnight in the fridge, but if you're in a hurry you can cut it down to 20 minutes.

This is the Gumbo my momma taught me to make. I adapted it to make it healthier. Instead of making the 1 cup flour/1cup oil for a rue. The flour is browned in a black iron skillet and I only need about 3 tablespoons of oil to caramalize the onions and cook the other veggies. This is a family favorite. Hope you enjoy.
