Perfectly baked chicken
Years ago, a friend gave me a recipe for chicken enchiladas. Prior to this, I hadn’t found a way to bake chicken without it getting super dry or tasting bland. To be fair, I hadn’t been cooking for long but it seems to me that this should have been in Cooking 101. Embedded in the … Continue reading
Green pepper ring with egg and tomato
One of the blogs I read shared a post about green pepper rings with eggs and tomatoes. For my life, I can’t find it again. So, if you know of a blog that recently shared this, please leave a comment – someone should get some credit! The rings looked so easy, simple, filling, and healthy … Continue reading
Teriyaki pork tenderloin
Like I mentioned in the last post, I had a huge pork tenderloin. I cut it in half and made one half with a spice rub. The second half was prepared with a teriyaki marinade. Of the two, I thought I’d like the teriyaki one better. Although we all liked it, three out of four of us … Continue reading

BBQ chicken pita pizzas – take 2!

They’re a great high protein, low-fat dinner option. Ingredients 6-8 whole wheat pitas BBQ sauce (my favorite is Bone Suckin BBQ) 1 to … Continue reading
Super easy chicken and hominy soup
My cousin Andrea told me about a super easy soup she had found on Bon Appetit. Since I love homemade soup, it sounded good. When I lazily watched her making it a few weeks later, it sounded even better. Once I ate it, I knew I had to share it with you! I went … Continue reading
Apple chips – just three ingredients!
I got a recipe from my daughter’s school for apple chips. They were so simple, I decided to try them. Oh my goodness were they easy and delicious! They take a long time to cook because you’re essentially dehydrating the apples. However, the hands-on time is minimal. Ingredients 4-6 large apples 2 tbsp sugar 2 … Continue reading
