Add a LITTLE extra flavor to your veggies by pan frying up some turkey bacon while you steam your veggies until they are ALMOST DONE. Then add them to the pan with bacon and stir. The flavor of the bacon permeates the veggies. This IS tastier with real bacon as the flavor is stronger, but healthier with the turkey bacon.

Cheesecakes baked without ricotta are sub par in my opinion, so I came up with this recipe after much experimenting.

"Rustic" in this case means there is no water bath, no effort to make it look perfect. It looks and tastes like it's been baked by "a hippie in the mountains of Vermont"

The original version of this cake has 35 grams of fat per slice when whole fat cheeses and when a lot of butter is used. This version has 14 grams of fat yet does not compromise creaminess, firmness, and taste.

A stir fry surprise with scallops, shrimp and squid.

Made with real crab and less cheese than restaurants use (those are more like Cheese Rangoon)

A delicately-flavored seafood stir-fry that our 6-year-old loved; great with a side of asparagus, green beans, or baked onions!

A lovely egg dish that highlights all the flavors of late spring. This dish can be made ahead of time and served room temperature. Perfect for brunch or even a light lunch!

Make this ahead of time and then refrigerate for a quick, protein-packed breakfast that's also portion-controlled. Top with salsa (optional) and serve with toast for a complete breakfast.

This is a great soup and quite hearty to warm one's soul. It makes 18 servings and is even better the next day.

Since our family has to watch sodium for medical issues, we do not use chicken soup base or bouillon when called for and instead use homemade chicken stock. By doing so we can control the sodium as needed. This recipe's nutritional info is if you are using homemade stock/low sodium homemade stock.

You may also cut back on the fat by using a substitute for the butter and/or cheese if you wish. We opted for Smart Balance Buttery Lite Spread for this recipe and nutritional info.

Remember the cooking time is 5 Hours on High or 8 Hours on Low in your Slow Cooker.

Please see the bottom of instructions if you wish to use chicken base instead of stock.

Hope you enjoy the recipe.
