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
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
I bought a ginormous pork tenderloin at Trader Joe’s. Since it was so large, I split it in half and made it two ways. The first recipe was one I found in The Essential Eating Well Cookbook edited by Patsy Jamieson. I will definitely be making it again! Ingredients 2 tsp brown sugar 2 tsp … Continue reading
I make these BBQ chicken pita pizzas for dinner and also for appetizers while entertaining. They’re a bit drier than the recipe shared a few months ago, but my family really likes them.

The leftovers work well for the next day’s lunch. This meal doesn’t need the bread since you already … Continue reading
When I was younger, I didn’t like BLTs. First of all, what was wrong with me?! Second, if someone had thrown some avocado on there, I would’ve been all over it! BLTs are one of the fastest and simplest meals we make. Once again, a reminder to myself that a healthy filling dinner doesn’t need … Continue reading
I’ve been so focused on reading real food and clean eating blogs lately that I’ve neglected the cookbooks I’ve collected over the last few years. I pulled out a Rachael Ray cookbook – Just in time! – and almost put it away because there were no pictures. Seriously, I like to see how my food … Continue reading
Mmmm comfort food! This isn’t quick and easy, but it isn’t altogether arduous, either. This is a good way to mix up your usual pork chop dinner. The whole family loved this! Serve along size a salad,steamed veggies, or roasted squash like I did. Ingredients 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops 1/4 cup finely chopped … Continue reading
