Baked turkey meatballs, made with a variety of dried herbs and spices, are quick and easy to prepare, go well alongside so many different side dishes, and can be paired with whatever sauce you like. This recipe features my sweet & spicy homemade BBQ sauce.

Ditch the bottled BBQ sauce - the first ingredient in most of them is high fructose corn syrup. While eating a small amount of the store bought stuff isn't all THAT bad for you, it's not all that good for you either, and most of us don't stop at the recommended one tablespoon serving size. Eliminate the extra sugar and calories by making your own sauce at home. My homemade BBQ sauce is sweet, tangy, spicy, and smoky, and it's super easy & quick to make.
My coleslaw recipe uses Greek yogurt to make this a light, fat-free dish, perfect to serve up alongside a burger, or use as the base for a salad. It's so good, I promise you won't miss the mayo.
Love marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese, but getting bored with chicken parmesan? Substitute chicken with cod - its dense, flaky flesh and mild flavor compliment these toppings really well.
Did you know that you can make your own rotisserie-style chicken at home? Using your crock-pot produces fall-off-the-bone tender meat and crispy skin, and it takes practically no effort on your part. Plus, it’s healthier than the rotisserie chicken you buy at the store, and it tastes amazing! Ingredients:
1 whole chicken (approx. 5 lbs.), insides removed, washed, patted dry -OR- 4 bone-in split chicken breasts, excess fat trimmed off 2 tsp. paprika 1 tsp. dried thyme 1 tsp. dried rosemary ½ tsp. kosher salt ½ tsp. black pepper ½ tsp. onion powder ½ tsp. garlic powder ½ tsp. dried oregano ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper (you can add more if you like more heat) 1-2 Tbsp. water McCormick Montreal Steak Grill Seasoning Aluminum foil 6-qt. slow cooker Directions: Start by tearing 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, and rolling them into balls. Place the foil balls in the bottom of the slow cooker. The purpose of this step is that the foil rack will prevent the chicken from simmering in its juices, which helps keep the skin of the chicken crispier and the meat more intact. A light, refreshing chickpea salad with carrots, peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and a tangy Dijon vinaigrette dressing. Rich in fiber, iron, and vitamins A and C, this salad is healthy and delicious. It takes only a few minutes to prepare, and it’s very versatile- you can eat it for lunch or snack, as a side dish for dinner, or double the recipe and serve it as a cold salad at your next summer party. Ingredients:
1 15-oz. can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed Handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered ½ cup carrots, diced 1 red bell pepper, diced ½ seedless cucumber, diced 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 1/8 tsp. dried dill 1/8 tsp. garlic powder Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste This is the quickest, easiest, most delicious recipe for baked beans. My 10-minute stovetop version gets you the same sweet, spicy, and smoky flavor of slow-cooked baked beans in just a fraction of the time.
This dish has a unique, nutty flavor, and heartiness that makes it a true comfort food. I've made it for a few parties and get-togethers, and it's been a huge crowd-pleaser. Serve it cold or at room temperature on a warm summer day, or hot out of the oven during the colder months.
