White Gazpacho Soup Mixed Greens and White Bean Salad Hearty Spaghetti with Meat Balls Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake We hope you enjoy this menu that serves 6 to 8. _______________________________________ Appetizer _______________________________________ White Gazpacho Soup 2 medium cucumbers 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1 pint sour cream 1/2 to 3/4 cup plain yogurt as needed Salt and pepper to taste 1/4 to 1/2 cup chicken stock (if needed) 3 dashes Tabasco Chopped tomatoes, scallions, and parsley for garnish Slivered almonds for garnish Peel cucumbers; mince in food processor. Add garlic, sour cream, 1/2 cup yogurt, salt, and pepper; blend. Adjust consistency by adding stock if too thick or more yogurt if too thin. Add Tabasco, and adjust seasoning to taste. Place in covered container and chill overnight. To serve, garnish with tomatoes, scallions, parsley, and almonds. The Skinny: Use light sour cream, and fat free yogurt and chicken stock. _______________________________________ Main Course _______________________________________ Mixed Greens and White Bean Salad 1 15-oz. can great northern beans, drained 6 cups mixed greens 2 tomatoes, chopped Combine and toss these 3 ingredients together and place on salad plates. Dressing: 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup red wine vinegar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp. dried rosemary Salt and pepper to taste Combine all ingredients together in a cruet and sprinkle over the salad just before serving. The Skinny: Not much room for improvement. Hearty Spaghetti and Meatballs Meatballs: 1 pound lean ground beef 1 clove garlic, minced 1 egg 2/3 cup Italian bread crumbs 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped Combine all ingredients and form into meatballs and set aside.

Brown onion, garlic and sausage together and drain. Place these ingredients, the meatballs and the remainder of the ingredients in a crock-pot and cook over low heat for several hours.

The Skinny: Use the leanest ground beef you can find, your favorite egg substitute and low fat sausage. _______________________________________ Dessert _______________________________________ Easy Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake 1 package chocolate fudge cake mix 2/3 cup peanut butter chips 1 cup hot fudge sauce 1 cup caramel sauce Whipped topping Mix cake according to package directions and stir in peanut butter chips. Bake according to cake box directions. Poke holes in the cake as soon as it is removed from the oven and pour caramel and hot fudge over the cake. Allow the cake to cool and spread whipped topping over the cake. The Skinny: Peanut butter chips, hot fudge and caramel...and you want to know The Skinny? You are joking, right?
