Special Romaine, Apple, Blue Cheese and Bacon Salad
The combination of sweet and tart in this salad is refreshing and hearty. Add the dressing, with blend of contrasting tastes (orange juice, maple syrup and Dijon mustard) and it's irresistible. Just try not to eat it all in one sitting :)
Ingredients
8 ounces bacon (use regular bacon or a package of ends and pieces)
2 romaine hearts
1 large granny smith apple, peeled and diced
½ cup dried cranberries
6 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Dressing Ingredients
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup olive oil
Directions
Place bacon on sheet pan or rack. Roast bacon for about 20 minutes and allow to cool, then chop into pieces.
Chop apple and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, toss romaine, apple, cranberries and blue cheese.
For dressing, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Slowly whisk in olive oil.
Add bacon to salad. Toss salad with just enough dressing to moisten and serve immediately.
Store leftover dressing in the fridge and take out 10 minutes before use to bring to room temperature.

Peppermint Fudge
Putting ‘fudge’ and ‘healthy’ together in the same recipe seems unlikely, but it is possible. This recipe uses coconut oil, which is high in fat like other oils, but contains a special kind of fats (MCTs) that help increase the body’s ability to burn fat for energy.
Ingredients
¾ Cup Whipped Butter
3 Tablespoons Zero Calorie Sweetener
2 Tablespoons Peppermint Extract
4 Squares 100% Dark Cacao

4 Egg Whites
¾ Cup Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
½ Cup Zero Calorie Sweetener
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1.5 Cups Butterscotch Chips

Chicken, Corn and Salsa Soup
Nothing's better on a cold day than a hearty warm soup. It takes less an hour to prepare and you have a soup that's 'hot' in both temp and flavor. It's my favorite. You can make it as hot or as tame as you'd like; all depends on whether you choose a mild, medium or hot salsa to use in the recipe. For different flavor combinations, you can also swap out the type of cheese and tortilla chips you use.
Ingredients
1 ½ Cup of Water
1 14-Ounce Can of Chicken Broth
1 11-Ounce can of corn
1 Medium Size Jar of Salsa
2 Teaspoons of Chili Powder
2 Ounces of Shredded Monterrey Jack Cheese
1 Bag of Tortilla Chips

3 Egg Whites
Cinnamon and Ginger to taste

Best of the Midwest Burger
Nothing is as Midwestern as the summer cookout... grilled corn, lemonade, potato salad, chips, and best of all, the hamburger. Brisket and ribs can become tedious due to their long cooking times, but the short grilling time and simplicity of burgers leads to yummy variations.
The best burgers are often cooked on a griddle in butter, but some simple modifications can create similar wonderful, greasy flavor in a grilled burger, perfect for a cookout. Adding shredded cheese to the uncooked patty adds moisture, even when cooked to medium. Any cheese will work. Then add your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
1/4 cup finely grated onion
1 tbsp cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack
6 slices of favorite cheese (Monterey Jack pictured)
6 strips of bacon
6 buns
butter
Directions
2. Add beef, onion, cream, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped bacon to bowl, mix thoroughly
3. Roughly form six equal patties by hand
4. Cook approximately six minutes per side over high heat on charcoal or gas grill, or until the internal temperature reaches 160F
5. Optional: Top burgers with slices of cheese a minute before removing from grill
6. Toast buttered buns on grill
7. Add burgers to buns, garnish with any additional toppings, and enjoy!
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 27 minutes

Yield: 6 hamburgers
