Grandma's Sessions Swiss Steak

I've been meaning to post this recipe up for over 2 weeks. Oops. After posting the crock-pot chicken, Erik also made a version of the crock-pot chicken. Since he was not use to using his crock pot for lots of meals, he emailed me asking if I had any steak recipes for the crock-pot. It was then, that I remembered my Grandmas Swiss Steak. Yummy! Now, you will notice that in the video I used my skillet to make it, but you can use the crock-pot as well. The only thing to remember is that you want to cook it in something with a lid. The great thing about using the crock pot or skillet... read more 1 comments

I was on the phone with my mom recently and she mentioned that although she loved my recipes, she wished that I would post the measurements in cups, tablespoons, etc. instead of using grams or ounces. It opened up the discussion of the accuracy of measuring cups, which reminded me of this youtube video clip that an LBF member posted on the Forum a few months ago. This video is an example of how the lack of accuracy can really add up. I know many people do not feel the need to weigh their food, but if you are wanting to really see how much you are actually eating, a food scale is a great... read more 3 comments

Today I'll be keeping it short, as this isn't technically a recipe, but instead a suggestion. ;) First off, you should know that I have this 'relationship' issue with chicken. :lol: I could eat chicken everyday no problem, and I never get tired of it.

As my husband as my witness, he knows to expect that I won't touch the stuff uncooked. So when he is not around to help handle the raw chicken, I had to get creative in my ways of cooking. :D [caption id="attachment_142" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Fiesta... read more 10 comments

I've been on a cranberry kick these past couple of months. Lucky me, I stocked up on fresh cranberries this past November and froze them ;) If you weren't so 'lucky' to remember to do so, you can check places like Whole Foods, Kroger, and some of the other upscale grocery stores for fresh cranberries. You get a lot of 'bang' for your 'buck'. In dieting terms, you get a lot of volume without it costing you a lot in terms of carbs. One-half cup of cranberries (55g) is only 30 calories, and 7 grams of carbs! To make things even better, they are very strong in terms of flavor, so you really don't need a lot to taste the... read more 3 comments
