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 [...]
I love Tex-Mex food & have been making my killer Mexican lasagna, for about 20 years now. I also often make simple casseroles from the broken tortilla chips my daughter rejects (she is a bit of a Prima Donna & snubs the broken crumbs). I just mix in some salsa and maybe some beans and [...]
This easy mushroom bruschetta recipe was made for my dinner a couple days ago. While my 5 year old has not yet cultivated a taste for mushrooms, I adore them, and often incorporate nutrient dense fungi into entrees as a flavorful low calorie meat extender or substitute . Since mushrooms are also an outstanding source [...]
Some of you may have noticed that nifty new Recipe Box button up in the navigation. It’s there to help you. You see, I’ve teamed up with ZipList, to make actually preparing the meals you find here easier and more convenient (looking is nice, eating is better). For those not familiar with ZipList, it is [...]
This healthy sausage and rabe recipe is pretty quick to make, since much of the prep work can be done during the cooking process. Most of us that cook a lot, tend to do this anyway, but with this particular recipe it seems to time out just right. It all started this morning, I was rifling [...]
Tonight, after two days of shoveling snow, I decided to reward myself with a small batch of cookies. Of course, I didn’t want to blow my whole diet or eat something terribly unhealthy, so I tossed together this easy gluten-free cookie recipe. It ended out making 10 cookies, using a 2 tbs size scoop. With [...]
Fish Chimichangas (Crispy Burritos) While I don’t observe Lent myself, I live in a state with a huge Catholic population. Because of this, I am well acquainted with the difficulties families sometimes have sticking to their observances. After all, grabbing a few orders of take out fish & chips for dinner, may be convenient, but [...]
My daughter loved this fresh baked Garlic Focaccia Bread with Thyme. It flew off the counter. Every time I turned around I saw another slice walking by in her little hands, of course like many kids her age she picked off the “green stuff”… I guess no thyme next time. I baked for her a [...]
Need a quick and easy recipe for chicken, that packs a lot of flavor, but is low in calories? Try this tangy Citrus Glazed Chicken Stir Fry. The stir fry gets a big dose of flavor from the triple citrusy punch of orange, lemon and lime. While it works fine as an Asian dish, this [...]
I decided to turn up the heat today! Hot and fiery curry with no dairy to cool it down…oh yeah! I had defrosted a swordfish steak, but wasn’t in the mood for any of my usual preparations for it. I rummaged around in the pantry, and dragged out a big can of crushed tomatoes. These [...]
