Oven Bake

This one is good for B, L, D: brunches, lunches, or dinners.

Okay, this one could take 35 minutes; but the results taste far more time-consuming.

This one is fun for kids, like me. Serve as is, or accompany with black beans or refried beans and plain or flavored rice, prepared according to the package directions.

Polpette are baby meatballs and these are stuffed with a pine nut (buttery, slightly crunchy surprise) and a currant or raisin (to keep the meat moist).

This meal is another B, L, D: good for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner.

Australia has these cool meat pies made of pastry crust stuffed with a slowly simmered, finely ground meat mixture. The pies can be topped with ketchup, and man, are they good! They taste like a ritzy version of a sloppy Joe. This is my sped-up version of a down-under favorite. Serve the pies with a green salad.

Some great flavors, two entirely different ways to serve them.

Fajitas are fun, but a lot of work at the table. This recipe switches up a cornbread crust for the flour tortilla and ground beef for the usual sliced steak. Reinvent a fun food, tonight, with Fajita Beef Pie!

This is a B-L-D meal: good for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner.

Serve with a green salad.

This spicy meal fills you up without filling you out!
