Who isn’t looking for quick healthy meal solutions during the busy holiday and shopping season? Here’s a sophisticated twist on a kids’ favorite from Suzanne McKinley in Lyons, Georgia. She writes: “My daughter Tiffany came up with this lower-fat version of traditional sloppy joes—and we all love it!” TIP: Best of all, this recipe can be made ahead and frozen for real holiday convenience. However, the tangy kick from the orange peel may not appeal to children.
