Love her website.... can you review any of the recipes you've tried. I can never decide which ones I wan to try
In general, I've loved almost every recipe on Skinny Taste's site. From the ones I tried this week...
I loved the Coconut Chicken in her "Coconut Chicken Salad with Warm Honey Mustard Vinaigrette" recipe. It was a huge hit with my kids as well, and they've already asked for it again. I didn't make the salad part, just the chicken and the shredded coconut makes it taste so good! It's a nice change from the usual breaded baked cutlets I normally make in the oven.
I don't think I'll be making the Petite Turkey Meatloaves again. They're good considering it's only 5 WW points, but not as moist as a regular meatloaf (probably because it's made with 99% lean ground turkey). If you overcook it even slightly, it won't be moist in the middle. DH thought it was just okay and said he'd rather eat it as a turkey burger.
The Barbacoa Beef is delicious! I did it in the slow cooker instead of following her pressure cooker instructions, and the meat shredded really easily. (She has slow cooker instructions in one of her comments.) Her recipe calls for 2-4 chipotles, and two peppers created more than enough spice for my family. It makes a ton of meat, so it's good if you want to use the meat later in another dish, like enchiladas. I would also serve it the way she does with cilantro lime rice and corn salsa.
