Stuffed Artichokes

8 large artichokes
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup butter
1 cup crumb style dressing
1 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Remove stems from artichokes. In a large pot, boil enough water to cover artichokes about halfway. Place artichokes stem side down in boiling water. Boil over medium heat for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute onion in 1/4 cup of butter until tender. Mix sauteed onion, stuffing, cheese, and 1/4 cup melted butter, salt, parsley and lemon juice together. Remove artichokes from water and allow to cool. Remove small inner leaves and thistle portion of artichoke and stuff each with 1/8 of stuffing mixture. Place in baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

The Skinny: Love is blind, so don't worry about the calories. Actually, there is not much you can do to improve this recipe.



Hearts of Palm Salad

1 jar hearts of palm
1 head Boston bib lettuce
1 cup of sliced olives
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Place several lettuce leaves on a salad plate, top with hearts of palm and sprinkle with olive slices. Combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, parsley, garlic and salt and pepper. Shake well. Drizzle over salad.

The Skinny: You could omit the olive slices to cut down on calories --- or you could *work* them off later ...



Beef Stroganoff

1 and 1/2 pounds round or sirloin steak, cut into one inch strips
1/4 cup butter
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 10-oz. can beef broth
1 cup (8 oz. container) sour cream
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in a skillet and brown beef. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic and cook until tender. Stir in beef broth, sour cream, sugar, parsley, ketchup and salt and pepper and simmer for 45 minutes over low heat stirring occasionally. If you would like, you can add about 1/4 cup of red wine to this dish. Serve with hot rice or noodles. Wide egg noodles are probably the most traditional accompaniment for this dish.



Stir-Fry Green Beans

3 cup fresh green beans, washed and ends trimmed away
1/4 cup butter
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. dried basil
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Salt and pepper to taste

Place beans in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil and cook until crisp-tender. Melt butter in a skillet and add beans, lemon juice, basil, almonds and salt and pepper. Stir-fry for several minutes over medium heat. Make sure you do not overcook the beans during the initial boiling.



Valentine Heart Cake

2 packages yellow cake mix
1 tub white frosting
1 package red cinnamon candies
1 square cake pan 8 x 8 x 2
1 round 8 inch cake pan

Prepare cake mixes according to package instructions. Pour one cake mix into square pan and one cake mix into round cake pan. Cook cakes according to package instructions and allow to cool. Place square cake on a large plate with one point facing you and one point facing away from you so it looks like a diamond. Cut round cake in half and place on topsides of square cake to form a heart. Decorate with frosting and cinnamon candies.

The Skinny: Skinny doesn't matter where true love is involved.
