This Lemon Balm and Summer Veggie Tabouli recipe is one great way to use up some of that Lemon Balm you have taking over your garden. Don’t curse it’s abundance. Eat it! Lemon balm is a vastly under used herb in my opinion, which is a shame since many have this prolific plant in their [...]
I make various versions of this Spicy Peanut-Lime Grilled Chicken Salad a lot in the summer. Especially since, chicken and peanut butter are two of the few higher protein foods my daughter will eat. She has been on a chicken kick lately, and selected chicken on her “talker” (tablet used as a communication device), along [...]
These low-carb Shrimp & Summer Squash Spring Rolls are a refreshing summer dish perfect for a light meal or appetizer course. I have to admit it, the catalyst of this recipe was a junky piece of kitchen equipment. There I was this afternoon with two lovely little yellow summer squash. I had it in my [...]
Artichoke Bean Dip with Sweet Onion As you can see below, I bought a lot of artichokes last time I popped into our local discount store, so when I got home, I searched for a new recipe to use some in. I found an old Cooking Light recipe on their website for a Sweet Onion, [...]

Myself and several other bloggers, were sent the new Lundberg Rice Cake flavors, along with coupons for a mystery ingredient. As someone [...]
These “Samurai Slasher” Asian Chicken Drumsticks are actually a melding of two chicken recipes I found on the Cooking Light website archives, and applied to chicken drumsticks for the grill. It all started last night, when I grabbed some nice organic chicken drumsticks on the cheap (the sell by date was today). While I was [...]
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sunshine Sweet Corn. I received a gift card to purchase a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I’ve made a fresh Tex-Mex Grilled Corn and Tomato Salad for you today, with Cinco de [...]
Roasted asparagus is one of my very favorite ways to eat my veggies. I wanted to step it up a bit this time and make it more into a meal, so I browsed around the Cooking Light website for a bit of inspiration, and found this recipe for Asparagus with Balsamic Tomatoes. The recipe was [...]
These grilled curry shrimp are both sweet & fiery. I typically make a sweet curry glaze for my shrimp, when I’m in the mood for something like this, but decided to try out a rub. I was pleased with the results, and the drier shrimp were easier to handle. A glaze could of course [...]
Paleo Chicken Fingers in Cauliflower Bread Crumbs (Origin) Cauliflower bread crumbs are my solution to “breading” Paleo chicken fingers. Commonly, those following a Paleo diet dredge tenders in ground nuts or coconut, to avoid grains. Many people are allergic to nuts, and they are high in fat & calories. I know that under this diet, [...]
