I have abandoned fatty ground beef in favor of healthier options such as ground chicken and turkey. I can ensure with the perfect additions, these will not be bland nor dry - you will not be missing the beef here.

Italian Style Short Ribs
I like to serve this easy dish with steamed broccoli and rice prepared with some of the remaining pan juices.
Chocolate Mousse with Cocoa Powder
No cooking involved, and it just doesn't get much easier than this for an elegant dessert. I like to pipe the mousse into small shooter glasses for a lovely presentation. Everybody has room for a mini dessert! Chilling the bowl and beaters will result in a better whipped cream.
Shorecook's Raspberry Swirl Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
After finding wild raspberries, I wanted to make a dessert that my hubby could eat. He cannot have seeds, and I had some heavy cream to use, so it wouldn't go bad. Playing around with the ingredients I had on hand led to this incredible raspberry swirl vanilla bean ice cream recipe.
