Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!

Ready in 25 minutes.

This dish inspired by Costa Rican spices seems exotic, but it uses spices and ingredients you already have around the house: coffee, cocoa and cinnamon. You'll wonder why you've been relegating these flavorings to dessert!

A favorite at Christmas, this is great for dinner and leftovers.

This classic German stew is made with lean trimmed beef stew meat and cabbage.

A terrific dish when served over a bed of brown rice.

Use as a side with coffee-cocoa rubbed pork tenderloin.

Try using an English Cut Beef Roast. It is economical and flavorful. This cut of meat comes from the shoulder or neck area of the animal.

A heart-healthy one-dish meal that is made with lean top round beef, lots of vegetables, and a spicy, herb mixture.

I prepare in small loaves so i can freeze individual loaves for later. ...the applesauce lightens the meat load without affecting the flavor or the texture!

My mother-in-law (whom is a great cook) gave me this recipe. It is easy, but really yummy! I have made it for week night suppers and fancy occassions. We mix up the spices we use in it constantly. It can be cooked in the oven or the crockpot. I usually cook mine in the crockpot.

My kids never complain about eating both beans and greens in one meal when they're served alongside rich, slow-cooked pork.
