This easy recipe is the foundation for my slight variation: 1 beef sirloin steak, 1lb 2/3 cup Gluten Free balsamic vinaigrette dressing 1 bag (6 oz) … [Read more...]

Healthy Twist on Chile Rellenos

TIP: chopped chiles are more common - look carefully at the label!

My Mom used to make this for special occasions when I was growing up.  It was a chile stuffed with a block of high fat cheese, dunked in whipped egg whites and deep fried.  Served with refried beans, lettuce, doused with tomato sauce, and smothered in Parmesan and cheddar cheese.   I think I gained weight just writing that.
