I usually go for the more complicated recipes, assuming that the more ingredients and preparation steps, the better. This recipe has changed the way I look at simplicity when it comes to cooking. Fancy spices be darned--this is the only way I'll cook salmon any more!

Cheesy, rich, delicious--just what you expect in macaroni and cheese. What you won't expect? 2/3 the fat and half the calories of the original!

This is wonderful for a main dish, served with a salad and some whole grain Spanish rice.

Or....

Cut them smaller for a great little appetizer too.

It's almost like that yummy Mexican layered dip...but you don't need the chips.

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.

This is the best kind of healthy recipe makeover: the kind no one will notice. Believe me when I say this dish is one of the best meals I've ever eaten.

These are great. Even my kids love them. Serve on a whole wheat bun and you have a tasty , healthy meal.

update: After making these again, I changed the servings from 4 to 6. Still a good size burger, but a better serving size.

Beth doesn't share recipes. She's 'one of those' cooks! ;-) So feel privileged, 'cause here's one she kindly shared! :) (NOTE: Beth's original recipe did not have the basil or pepper, it had one less tbsp. onion, and it had an extra tbsp. of sugar. I modified the recipe for my tastes.) 2007-11-13 EDIT: I made this again, adding 4 cloves of minced garlic, and it was delish! (((NOT included in the nutritional information, but it wouldn't really affect the calories anyway!))) :)

This will bring out all kinds of flavor in your beef.

My aunt Gwen was a great cook and she kept go-to-quick recipes that were always as good as her spent-all-day-making recipes. This was one of my favorites from her go-to-quick list.

whenever money was tight and it was close to payday, but she had no money, my mother would make this old standard. It would last for a few meals, it was warm and comforting, you could feel the love in every bite.
