Make-Your-Own Pizza Night!

Faster than your local pizzeria, have pizza on the table in 20 minutes or less. I beat out Rachel Ray’s 30 minute meal! My kids wanted to make their own pizza. So I quickly whipped up dough from two ingredients and let them pick their toppings and assemble. They loved it! This recipe is perfect […]

Nana Fran loves rum cake, so for her birthday, I turned ordinary yellow cup cakes into extraordinary mini rum cakes! I also made them oil-free by substituting the oil for a combination of Greek yogurt and applesauce, which do not change the flavor while keeping the muffin moist and fluffy.

Bobotie

Unfortunately, because I was adding to the other dish, I completely forgot to take a picture. The serving size of this recipe is just enough to be added to bobotie. Feel free to double […]

Air-Fried Buffalo Chicken Tender Sliders

These sliders taste just like Chili’s former best seller – buffalo chicken tender sliders. I don’t know why they took them off the menu! They were so good. Well, now you can enjoy them without the greasy frying. Check out the companion recipe for the homemade, non-fat ranch sauce. These were the perfect meal before […]

Ranch dressing

You won’t believe this ranch dressing is actually non-fat. Making your own “buttermilk” by souring skim milk and combining it with non-fat Greek dressing will leave your taste buds thinking the fat is still in the dressing!

White Bean Chicken Chili

A great winter comfort food that is both nutritious and delicious. Simply dump the ingredients in the morning into the slow cooker, and then come home to a tasty, hearty meal. You can prep your vegetables and spice mixture from the night before (or even the Sunday before) making it a great option for busy […]
