It is my understanding, although I don't really understand it at all, that people don't like meatloaf. Most likely, this is because they have either been forced as a child to endure a greesy off-flavored chunk of meat OR a dry bland burnt-offering. But to me, meatloaf is a yummy comfort food siddled up next to garlicky mashed potatos. Unfortunately, it is also loaded with calories, approximately 740. Here is a recipe I've found that chops that number down to 280 per serving without cutting out any of that yummy flavor and leaving room for a helping of those garlicky mashed potatos (recipe not included due to mounds of butter).
I've never met a soul who didn't like macaroni and cheese. But I have met a few mac n cheese dishes that I didn't like. Here's one that is not only good to the taste buds but also good to the waste line. Traditional mac n cheese, made with yummy cream sauce, can be over 1,100 calories just for one main-course serving. This recipe cuts that in half (493 calories for main course/246 for side dish).
I love shrimp! I especially love fried shrimp. But what I don't love is the mess of frying. This recipe is so good; it's a favorite of my family.
Who wants to have their cinnamon rolls and eat them too?
