In the last year to year and a half, I’ve tried a number of new foods – brussel sprouts, tacos de lengua (beef tongue tacos), caviar, lobster, salmon, crab cakes, ceviche, and a few other things. One of the “other things” was king crab legs. Last Christmas dinner (I brought this fruit kabob appetizer), our … Continue reading
Ever hear the philosophy that your “normal” diet is what’s served to you by your parents? Well, my parents never served brussel sprouts. Never. So I hadn’t had them until just over a year ago when friends ordered them while we were out for dinner. Oh my, were they amazing! They are now one of … Continue reading
Once again, Clean Eating magazine provides a winning recipe with this Chicken with Blue Cheese Sauce. Honestly, I could drink the sauce. I roasted some artichokes for the side dish and it was a delicious dinner! Ingredients 4 artichokes 2 lemons, halved 4 garlic cloves 4 tsp olive oil Olive oil spray 1 lb chicken … Continue reading
My mom’s co-worker shared this recipe and it is beyond simple to make. I thought this side dish was delicious; the squash is very mild and you mostly taste the garlic and butter. Um, yum! It takes about 1 hr and 15 minutes from start to finish and that includes 1 hour baking time. Start … Continue reading
Remember the apple chip recipe I got from my daughter’s school? Well, they also sent home a recipe which they called CauliMash. I made it tonight and told my kids they’re mashed potatoes. We served it up with my husband’s turkey burgers and fruit (some had raspberries, some had oranges); dinner took less than 30 … Continue reading
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
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
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. 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
