Here’s a delicious, low-cal, low-fat, low-sodium dinner, with effortless clean-up! It’s fun to make, fun to serve, fun to eat.

Best Ever Black Bean Soup
I’ve discovered the secret! I’ve made Black bean soup more times than I can count, and it’s always seemed like a little something was missing. Darned if it wasn’t as simple as using the wrong beans! Do you know how long ago the dried beans at your grocery store were harvested? Me neither, but I’ll…
Ginger-Soy Chicken Packets
A family favorite for years! This is a one-bowl dinner that everybody likes. You can even do the prep ahead of time; then just assemble the packets & bake. And clean-up is a breeze. The chicken is incredibly moist & tender. I’m not usually a huge fan of zucchini, but I really love it in…
Homemade Mac & Cheese

Rogan Josh

Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce
I have a treat for you today: My mom’s Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce (shown here on Vanilla Frozen Custard). This was one of her favorite recipes. She used to make it well in advance of dinner, and just leave it sitting on the stove with the spoon still in it from stirring in the…
Black Bean Enchiladas
Happy Meatless Monday, a day in advance! You will surely be happy eating these hearty enchiladas. We were almost done with dinner before my chief tester noticed there was no meat. They’re that good. They go great with Sweet & Spicy Pickled Peppers if you actually have any left. So many meatless recipes end up not being…
