Sausage and Mushroom Crostini

December 9, 2021 By Lisa

Sausage and Mushroom Crostini I LisaGCooks.com

Sausage and Mushroom Crostini The recipe I chose for ReDux was from Rachel Ray 2 where she prepared Sausage Calzones. I was inspired by the Season and thought this would be a great party food (no one has to know you’ve cut out fat and calories). I’ve lightened this up by using low fat turkey sausage, low fat goat cheese and I’ve increased fibre by ...

The cool creaminess of the avocado and the tang from the lime juice contrast perfectly with the spiciness of the creole spice. Originally posted on 12 November, 2015!

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings I LisaGCooks.com

Baked Honey Garlic Chicken Wings This is an insane recipe from a few years ago... I love taking really naughty pub food and making it practically guilt free, you still need a little restraint here, portion control and not eating the skin is key (sorry!). ...

Nacho Cheese Sauce I LisaGCooks.com

Roasted Eggplant Dip I LisaGCooks.com

Roasted Eggplant Dip Here we are at the end of 2020.  Arguably the worst time in our lives but I’d like to say a few things about my personal experience this year. I learned I don’t care about designer clothes anymore or my ridiculous hand bag collection. I’d rather spend this money  on people who aren’t nearly as blessed as I am. I’m ...
