As of late, I love love love broccoli salad with bacon and sunflower seeds. So good!

It is 1 head broccoli, as many raisins, shelled sunflower seeds and bacon piece as you want. Mix with a dressing that is 1/4 c sugar, 2 tbsp white vinegar and 1 cup mayo. So so good!

Other than that, we are just slapping meat on the grill and making fresh veggie sides. So yummy~

This salad is beyond amazing. I make it with triple the liquid for the dressing and a combo of grains (farro and red winter wheat are my favorite).

I made this orzo recipe on Monday and I just had some leftovers for lunch today: www.melskitchencafe.com/2010/04/creamy-orzo-with-chicken-mushrooms-and-red-peppers.html

Within the past week I've made the chocolate chip cookies and the chocolate ice cream from Annie's Eats.

A few months ago I made a great roasted pork tenderloin with Dijon/white wine sauce. I picked up a tenderloin at the store this weekend and now I can't track down the recipe

[dcannie]

i have been on a balsamic roasted asparagus topped w/ goat cheese kick for about a year now. it doesn't seem to be slowing down.
there's no recipe. you just, ya know, roast asparagus after it sits in balsamic for a little bit, and top w/ crumbled goat cheese when you take it out of the oven.

On the broccoli- I like to add red onion and cheese tortellini and I've got a meal.

I've been doing a "mexican lasagna"- I take some pork and put it in the crockpot with green chiles, peppers, onions, and chipotle sauce. When it's done I shred it up. I take a couple of cans of black beans and corn. Then I use tortillas instead of noodles and layer it all up with cheese and salsa instead of marinara. It's simple and cheap. Now that I'm thinking about it I may need to see how this freezes.

My husband made these Bourbon Brined Pork Chops on saturday and they were fantastic. I didn't try the Volcanic Apple Sauce but he said it was great too.

We made this this week too and it is one of my husband favorites. He actually made it for a chili cook off contest last fall and came in 2nd.

This is one of my favorite potato salads; I make it all summer long. I made it this past weekend for the first time this year and it's just so good. You can vary the herbs, use a different vinegar, add a little dijon mustard, add green onions, peas, etc. if you want. It's very versatile.

Dilly Potatoes

1 pasteurized egg
3/4 cup light olive oil (evoo is too strong of a flavor)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 t salt
1 t pepper
1/2 t minced garlic
2 T chopped parsley
2 T chopped dill
1 T chopped basil
5 lbs red skin potatoes (halved if larger size)

Boil potatoes until tender but not mushy. Drain well. Whisk egg until light colored and frothy. Slowly add oil while whisking to combine. Add other ingredients and mix well. Pour over potatoes and chill well, preferably overnight.

Note: It will smell really good while you're making it, but if you taste it before it chills, all you'll taste is vinegar. The flavor will mellow as it chills, I promise.

Cauliflower crust pizza is probably my newest favorite.

It's enough like regular pizza that it kills cravings without derailing my diet.

I think that's the recipe for the broc salad I've been making/eating for years. It's SUPER good...and even if you knock back the sugar amount, it tastes the same, still super good!

I made these turkey meatballs on Monday, it was really good! www.skinnytaste.com/2010/01/asian-turkey-meatballs-with-lime-sesame.html

Also really into this chicken chili crockpot meal lately, it's really tasty and makes a lot of leftovers.

A twist on this to use the oriental flavor and put one of the season packets into the dressing.

This is what we base ours off of.

www.recipegirl.com/2012/01/16/cauliflower-crust-hawaiian-pizza/

I've tried other low carb pizzas with different flours, but this is way better. The toppings cover up about 95% of the cauliflower taste.

[dreamgirl]

Yum! These all look so good!

[starlily]

The chicken with tomato-herb pan sauce from Annie's Eats became a quick favorite in our house. It's also super fast to make, so it's great for weeknights.

Here is a WW one for Braised Short Ribs

Weight Watchers said, this will feed 6, I think it's more like 3.

11/2 pounds lean beef short ribs

1/2 cup flour

11/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp dry mustard

2 onions sliced and seperated into rings

2 garlic cloves

1 cup light beer

Heat a non-stick skillet ove rhight heat and brown short ribs on all sides. Drain off the fat.

Sprinkle the ribs with the flour, mustard, salt and paprika (I put it all in a plastic bag and did it 'shake and bake' style)

Layer the onions on the bottom of the slow cooker add ribs ontop of onions and add garlic and beer.

Cook on high 3-4 hours, until ribs are tender. You can cook on low 6-8 hours if you want.
