I absolutely love this recipe.. For those of you who have never eaten buffalo, what are you waiting for? We get our ground buffalo from the local Whole Foods and the flavor is amazing, not to mention it’s lower in fat than beef!  We make these burgers the same way we do our beef ones, but we use sesame seeds instead of breadcrumbs with the egg to get a perfect consistency and great flavor without the carbs of the breadcrumbs. Continue reading “Buffalo Burgers”

Don’t let the name chase you off!  I absolutely hate porkrinds, but I gotta say, this is one of my favorite dishes!  Atkins/South Beach diet approved!  Simple and easy, great over a fresh salad, or by itself with a fresh serving of veggies! Continue reading “Porkskin Chicken”

My favorite first cool-weather recipe to make while listening to the mournful blues of Billie Holiday. It’s a very healthy chili recipe I love…all the men in my life have loved it too, so it’s not just a weight-loss recipe!! Full of fiber and low in fat when you use just-enough extra-lean ground beef, or omit the meat all together because the beans will do if for ya if you’re a bean lover like me!!! This is really a satisfying meal, especially when the weather is getting cooler as it is now (damn it, why have you forsaken me summer breezes!!!). Don’t get too caught up in the measurements; just keep tasting till it’s perfect for you!! Continue reading “Chili and Billie (Holiday, that is!)”
