Ron's Recipes

I'm not descended from Italians, but I wish I was. I love all kinds of Italian food! I really love low fat minestrone soup. Give my recipe a try:

1/2 cup fresh onions, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
20 oz. chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 cup water
6 oz. tomato paste
Italian seasoning to taste, about a teaspoon
1/4 teaspoons black pepper
15 oz. can mixed vegetables drained
1/2 cup elbow macaroni or small shell pasta, uncooked

Not all steak is meant to be grilled.

There, I said it. Occasionally, steak is best when braised. Try this delicious lowfat recipe and see for yourself.

1 1/2 lbs. lean steak, cut into 1/4" strips
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoons salt
