Individual Cedar-Planked Peach BBQ Laura’s Lean Meatloaves

Posted By Barb Freda On August 24, 2011

The summer heat doesn’t mean I don’t still crave the occasional comfort food of meatloaf. But I know I don’t want to crank up the oven to bake off the meatloaf. The solution? The grill, of course. And since I want to eat peaches as often as possible when they are in season, I want to make my own peach barbecue sauce. So I did. And then to top it all, since I loved the cedar planked steak from July, … continued…

Getting Back in the Groove After Baby

Posted By Jenny Kramer On August 22, 2011

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 3 months since our sweet little boy, Mac, was born. As exciting as it is to have a new baby, there are a lot of changes that come with adding a 2nd child to the family! As I’ve talked about before, healthy eating requires planning ahead, and that has been more of a struggle for us the past few months. We’re finally getting our heads above water and developing somewhat of a routine. … continued…

Surf and Turf Grilled Quesadillas

The crabmeat (imitation here in the interest of our pocketbook) makes a nice complement to the beef, and there’s just enough cream cheese mixed in to make this dish feel both indulgent and satisfying.  2 large (10-inch) flour tortillas1 pound Laura’s Lean Beef Sirloin Steak, grilled and sliced1 cup sliced onion, roasted1 cup sliced red or yellow bell peppers, roasted1 cup imitation crab meat, chopped or shredded2 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese2 tablespoons reduced-fat Ranch dressingOptional Garnishes: Fresh guacamole, reduced-fat sour … continued…

Sweet and Savory Blackberry Sauce for Beef

Posted By Barb Freda On August 10, 2011

With the abundance of blackberries in the market, I can’t resist coming home with a freshly-picked quart every Saturday. So when Jenny mentioned she would be posting about the berries, she suggested a sauce for steak. Since I love sweet and savory, I thought it was a spot-on suggestion. I love using this as a spread for a sandwich, but you could easily pass it with roasts or steaks, the same way we pass cranberry sauce with turkey at the … continued…

Healthy, delicious blackberries!

Posted By Jenny Kramer On August 10, 2011

I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana, and I love to go home and visit every chance I get.  I was recently there, and the blackberries were ripe and delicious.                                I’ll be honest, lots of times we do nothing with the blackberries other than make different cobbler variations.  I decided this year would be different, so I made it my quest to find something to do with the berries besides cobbler! Blackberries are a definite superfood … continued…
