Hello Everyone,

Have A Terrific Weekend My Friends,

Hello My Friends,

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate the kind Comments. Pat, glad you like the recipe of Tilapia. I actually prefer it to Flounder, since it tends to be less "fishy" tasting, whenever it's fresh, and it's also a little bit cheaper. LaNell, I have several favorite Chili recipes. Here's a link to a couple of my favorites from my Crockpot Forum Thread, one for White Chili and the other for Vegetarian Black Bean Chili.

Sticking to my healthier Diet for the New Year, here's what I did just the other night with some ground sirloin, less than 250 Calories per serving and it was done in about 30 mniutes.

Herbed Salisbury Mushroom Steak

1

package (8 oz) sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)

1

lb extra-lean (at least 90%) ground beef

1/4

cup Progresso® plain bread crumbs

1/4

cup fat-free egg product

1/4

cup fat-free (skim) milk

3/4

teaspoon dried thyme leaves

3

tablespoons ketchup

2

teaspoons canola or soybean oil

1

jar (12 oz) fat-free beef gravy

1. Finely chop 1 cup of the mushrooms. In medium bowl, mix chopped mushrooms, beef, bread crumbs, egg product, milk, thyme and 1 tablespoon of the ketchup. Shape mixture into 5 oval patties, 1/2 inch thick.
2. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook about 5 minutes, turning once, until browned.
3. Add remaining sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons ketchup and the gravy. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 5 to 10 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160ºF and patties are no longer pink in center. Makes 5 servings.
