Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli

October 11, 2021 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Scalloped Potatoes with Broccoli This is a dish that always used to intimidate me! Now I say with much confidence; this is awesome and super simple. I’ve also lightened it up by using milk and flour instead of butter and cream. This post was originally published on March 11, 2016! Lightened up Scalloped Potatoes with fresh broccoli and a ...

Spaghetti and Meatballs

May 1, 2020 By Lisa

Spaghetti and Meatballs I LisaGCooks.com

Spaghetti and Meatballs So I think I have stressed how much I love taking fatty food and making it low fat and healthy but have I stressed my other passion?  I love getting this done in under an hour!  That’s right; spaghetti and meatballs that are low fat and done in under an hour.  I’m the modern day nonna except I’m 34 … and blond!  Besides ...

Braised Beef Ribs

Braised Beef Ribs - LisaGCooks.com

Braised Beef Ribs This is a recipe I shared a few years; perfect for Valentine's Day... please, please, please try it... unless you're vegetarian... you probably won't like it if you're vegetarian. I’ve never been one to think about food in terms of “romantic” but then I tasted this and it came to me like an epiphany: this is what romance ...

Garlic Mashed Potatoes

April 14, 2019 By Lisa

LisaGCooks.com I Garlic Mashed Potatoes I LisaGCooks.com

Garlic Mashed Potatoes It has been a crappy spring so far :(   It’s April and cold and crappy and you can always do with another mashed potato recipe. Did I mention this is almost fat free? Yup!

Penne alla Vodka

September 4, 2018 By Lisa

Penne alla Vodka I LisaGCooks.com

Penne alla Vodka I have a confession to make, this was the first time I had this pasta. Every time I thought about it, I would think about how much cream, fat and calories were in it and then I’d talk myself out of it. Here, there’s my compromise; there’s cream but it’s half & half, and it’s also half the amount other recipes call ...
