Blue Cheese Ball

8 oz. blue cheese, crumbled
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz. pineapple tidbits, drained
One half tsp. seasoned salt
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 cup fresh parsley, minced

Combine all ingredients, except parsley in a bowl and mix well. Form 
into a ball shape and roll in minced parsley. Chill for 1 hour before 
serving with crackers.  

The Skinny:  Use light or low fat cheeses.  You could probably skip 
the pecans also but they do add a nice crunch.

Peppered London Broil

1 London broil, about 3 to 4 pounds 
One quarter cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. fresh ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. red pepper
1 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 Tbsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. salt

Brush steak with olive oil. Combine seasonings and rub on both sides 
of the steak. Chill until ready to grill. Cook over medium hot coals 
until desired doneness is achieved.  You can let the steak marinate 
overnight with the pepper and spice rub for a little extra flavor.

The Skinny:  Trim any fat from the meat.

Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

3 - 4 pounds red potatoes, washed and quartered
1 tsp. salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
One third cup Fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
One quarter cup butter
One quarter cup cream
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain off water.  Add 
garlic, cheese, butter, cream and salt and pepper and mash potatoes 
until smooth.  

The Skinny:  Use low fat milk and fat free Half and Half rather than 
the cream.
