I like to use Lard or bacon fat because it just tastes so much better, but you can use whatever fat you want to.
I like to serve this over brown rice with fat-free sour cream and chopped onions on top.

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

This recipe is adapted from one found on www.smittenkitchen.com. Makes 8 servings of 1 cup each. The ingredients are approximate, there is no need to be precise with this. Pretty much just add everything to taste! (This is also great as a salsa like dip for light tostito chips!) For more visual effect, use 1 green pepper and 1 each of red, orange, and yellow.

I think that gazpacho is quite the refreshing soup option--especially in the summer. It goes well with a simple sandwich as well as something a little fancier and off the grill. Not only that, but it is actually pretty healthy for you as well--gazpacho is made up of all kinds of different veggies.

Slow cook on the stove stop. Uses all fresh ingredients. Adding this mostly due to it being a family favorite and not many others call for making homemade verde sauce. I also adjust the heat by leaving the seeds and ribs of one half of one jalapeno. Can also add 2 anaheim or poblano chiles for more heat.
