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 [...]
This Curried Zucchini & Sweet Onion Bulgur was a vegetarian lunch for me today, but would work nicely as a side for grilled meats as well. Bulgur is one of my go-to starches when I am watching my calories (and after the ice cream sandwiches my daughter & I ate last night, something has to [...]
I’ve pulled out all the stops today with an extra cheesy buffalo chicken pasta. I adore cheese, and every once in awhile, I give into my “fiending for fromage” sans limitations. Today was one of those glorious days. I basked in the joys of liquid gold, with the added enhancement of a spicy kick. Now, [...]
This easy Shrimp, Asparagus and Tortellini in Lemon-Dill Scampi Sauce was inspired by the bounty of spring, and the fresh flavors of summer soon to come. Asparagus is ridiculously inexpensive right now, and I got a fantastic deal on some frozen wild American shrimp a couple weeks ago, so the combo sort of matched itself [...]
This Fettucini with Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Buttermilk Sauce was a rarity in my household… something my daughter and I both ate (well, it didn’t quite start that way, there was some drama first). We are both fussy characters. I’m decidedly finicky about what goes in my meals and she has strong textural [...]
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 [...]
This easy baked fish recipe for Potato Chip Cod is my simple solution to making a gluten free version of my favorite Baked Cod with Ritz cracker topping. This version is even easier. Since there is enough oil in the chips, you don’t need to add butter to the topping. Another added benefit to using [...]
There seems to be a general lack of Paleo or even gluten-free Veggie Burger recipes around. When I saw “paleo” recipes with beans in them it reminded me of when my daughter was on a gluten & casein free diet and I couldn’t find any gluten-free veggie burgers in the store. It annoyed me. Now [...]
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, [...]
