Happy St. Patrick's Day! Denise shared some fun recipes with you earlier this week, but I wanted also to share my two new St. Patty's Day dishes. They're great for a party or as a light meal before you have that (one) green beer! Chef Meg's BLT-Potato 'Nachos'  On menus at pubs and casual restaurants, I've noticed a twist on nachos: potato chips in place of tortilla chips. Sometimes called "Irish nachos," most versions are fried, but not mine! Chef Meg's Lighter Reuben  Reubens are a once-a-year treat in our house. Corned beef is delicious and fairly low in fat, but it's quite high in sodium. A small sandwich at a deli can have 20 g fat, twice the calories as my version--and more than a day's worth of sodium. Not my version! Like my recipes? Want to get more Chef Meg dishes delivered to your inbox each morning?
