Fast and Friendly Meatballs
Great basic recipe for quick meatballs. I add some dried italian seasoning and basil to my mix. Serve over pasta with marinara sauce. My boyfriend and I gobble it up!!

Gourmet Sweet Potato Classic
I made this recipe for a Thanksgiving dinner party. And everybody raved about it!! Made a few substitutions to make this recipe a tad bit healthier, as other users have done. I subbed in Smart Balance butter for real butter, Splenda brown sugar mix for the sugar, and lowfat milk for the heavy cream. I had some sliced almonds on hand so I also subbed those in for the pecans. I've noticed the brown sugar helps a lot in reducing some of the sweetness. One other thing, I tend to like the casserole a little more firm, so in order to achieve that, add in an extra egg (or liquid egg whites as I did). This will be a staple at every holiday dinner. Thanks for the great recipe!!

Buttery Corn Bread
I've tried one other recipe on this site for cornbread and it didn't go too well. I made this for the first time for a Thanksgiving dinner part and I got amazing results and feedback!!! Everyone loved it! I took some other feedback and put in a healthy dose of honey. Subbed in Splenda brown sugar mix and Smart Balance butter. No one could tell that it was lower calorie. I also baked it in a cast iron muffin pan for 15 minutes to add some crispiness. The secret is warming up the oil in the pan before adding the batter to achieve a nice crispy crust. Thanks for a great recipe! This one will be my "Go To" for cornbread
