Sliced seared beef with a tomato, cucumber, and feta salad on a colorful patterned plate.

Sliced Steak & Greek Salad

The trick is to slice and share a more expensive filet mignon steak, rather than serve a whole 'one per person'. Tender filet is easy to eat and delicious.

Fresh tuna salad with eggs, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion, served with a glass of orange juice.

Tuna Salad Bowl - Blue Plate Special when it's too hot to cook!

Salads are really not a recipe as they are just a plated combination of flavors. A throwback diner classic.

    Tuna salad with pickles served on a crisp romaine lettuce leaf on a dark plate.

    Bariatric Tuna Sub

    I love tuna sandwiches but what do you do if you do not eat bread? Romaine Lettuce for the win!

    Grilled meat kebabs on skewers served with roasted red peppers, grilled onions, and fresh herbs on a white plate.

    'Better than Burger' Kebabs

    Our local Fresh Market has a weekly special for super nice ground chuck at just $3.99 a pound and I like making something a ‘different’ than plain ole burgers or meat loaf. These are a sort of ‘meatloaf on a stick’ that I can cook in minutes using my grill pan.

    Cauliflower-crust pizza topped with tomato sauce, sliced tomatoes, mushrooms, and melted cheese on a light surface.

    Cauliflower Crust Pizza. Super good!

    A good tasting dish in its own right. Calling it pizza does not make it so, but this 'Pizza' flavored round is fresh, mild and has a cheesy goodness with none of the qualities for which cauliflower is disliked. I think you will like it if you don't go at it thinking you have found no carb pizza. Have reasonable expectations and you will love it!

    Mini eggplant pizzas topped with melted cheese, tomatoes, and basil on a white plate.

    Sheet Pan Meal: Eggplant Pizza Rounds

    Grilled shrimp skewers with lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, lime, and a creamy dipping sauce on a plate.

    Five Minute Shrimp Skewers

    When I am running late for supper with nothing really planned, I stop for a half pound of large shrimp and a few salad ingredients. I can have this beautiful plate of food on the table in five minutes!

    Beef stew with vegetables served in an orange pot, garnished with fresh herbs on a wooden board.

    Hungarian Beef Stew... Melt in Your Mouth!

    Super tender... you can mash the beef cubes with a fork. Perfect for bariatric eating. I serve with a side dish of pan roasted parsnips & carrots - boil peeled vegetables until tender and finish to golden in olive oil salt and pepper. Delicious.
