F UP YOUR NEW YEAR: Healthy Skillet Recipes

[beepampered]

Okay, I'm looking for suggestions for January recipes. I have the family skillet but no other cookware so soup isn't really an option and I want something healthier and low-cal. Thanks for suggestions...BEE

You can do a stir-fry in the skillet.

The Green Chili Fritata is really good too - not sure that it's very low in fat though.

Do you have the roaster? It is the same volume as the stockpot, so you can use it for soup.

The Turtle Cake in the Family Skillet, or a Pineapple upside down cake would
be fast and easy. You'd bake them in the oven for approximately 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Just be sure that you use hotpads our Trivet potholders,
when removing them from the oven, and under them when you set it on the cookie rack to cool. Those handles are HOT! One hostess did the favor of
taking the cake out of her oven - without the trivets I had set on the stove,
and got a nasty burn on her hand. I believe you can find the Turtle cake
in our recipe section. It is a regular Chocolate cake mix, prepared in the Family Skillet. The topping was 1/2 jar of Smucker's Caramel Topping, and one container (16 oz.) Chocolate Frosting. Warm the frosting in your microwave, and stir in the caramel topping. Pour over the cooled cake, and
sprinkle with chopped nuts or decorate with strawberry slices with the points toward the edges and a star pattern in the center. It will get raves!

Do you have the "It's Good For You" cookbook? The Pronto Pizza Burgers in there are YUMMY! We have them about 1-2 times a month at our house! You could use smaller french bread pieces and make mini ones for your shows.

Do you cook soup in the roaster? How does it come out?

Can you post this? "It's Good For You" is one of the few cookbooks I do not have.

"light" apple strudelI just made a new recipe that would the use cookware and you also use a stone. It is not a PC recipe it is from one of my Weight Watchers cookbooks so it is a light recipe. At 2 points per serving anyone on WW will LOVE this. I will write it as written in the cookbook and you can adjust it to use with our great PC tools!

Apple Strudel

1-1/2 lbs granny Smith Apples cut into 1/2 in cubes
2T granulated sugar

Do you cook soup in the roaster? How does it come out?

Just put it on two burners and cook the soup! It's the most versatile piece of cookware we offer (and the most expensive!!!!). It can be a double burner griddle for grilled cheese, pancakes, etc. It can cook triple batches of everything (great for risotto shows), it can do huge batches of lasagna in the oven, soup on the stove... we should be selling one of these at every show!
