Here’s a delicious breakfast salad you can make with your leftover walnut-crusted chicken. It’s so good you might want to make up a batch of the chicken just for breakfast salads. On a bed of baby romaine lettuce (or baby spinach, or mesclun) pile: walnut-crusted chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces blueberries sliced strawberries Top with…
This chicken wasn’t 100% a success, but it wasn’t an ERROR either. With a couple modifications, I’d be really excited to try this again. First of all, I’m not sure why I decided to cut the chicken into such small pieces. Maybe cutting each breast into 4 pieces would be fine, but I crazily cut…
Just look at this picture. I don’t need to tell you why you want to eat this meal, do I? Is it the perfectly ripe locally-grown tomato from the farmers’ market down the street? Imagining taking a bite of turkey burger topped with creamy avocado? That tangy rich hollandaise sauce? Where do you start?! I’ll…
Here’s another low-fat low-calorie snack, if you’re going that route. Basically it’s just a box of cake mix (they have lower-sugar ones which will help your cause a little) mixed with a can of pumpkin puree. These are the first ones I made. It’s devil’s food cake mix, and I mixed in the pumpkin by…
If you’re cutting calories or trying to eat low-fat foods, you’re probably looking for snacks for 150 calories or fewer to enjoy this summer. Here’s an “ice cream sandwich” with 150 calories for a pretty large portion. Thaw some Cool Whip Free on the counter for a little while so it gets soft. You’ll need…
It’s been 100ish degrees every day here (hotter with the heat index) this summer, I want cooking time to be SHORT. This recipe fits the bill. In less than 10 minutes you’ll have a delicious summery meal. You will need: Green beans (fresh or frozen, not canned) virgin coconut oil butter fresh lime juice, half…
Make this for a healthier-than-cherry-pie dessert, or eat it for breakfast. Come on, you know it’s better than those “whole wheat” lucky charms even if there is chocolate in it. Layer: vanilla yogurt sliced strawberries mini chocolate chips vanilla yogurt sliced strawberries mini chocolate chips Of course you can use whatever fruits you want, or…
This pork breakfast sausage is delicious, easy to make in a huge batch (and freeze some for later), full of protein and flavor, and has helped me start several mornings off on the right foot so far. You will need: Optional: 1/2 onion 2 pounds ground pork 1 tsp sage 1 tsp salt 1 tsp…
OK, so I’m not usually one to post videos or pictures of cats I don’t know, and I’m not even really a “cat person” at all, but dang, this is just too awesome to not share. It makes me want to bring suitcases to my friends’ houses, capture their cats, and play “jack in the…
These egg rolls are crazy-easy to make, and definitely a crowd pleaser. I brought them to a recipe swap and when I looked at the table a few minutes after everyone had started eating, they were GONE. You’ll need: egg roll wrappers a bag of cole slaw mix a can of mushrooms 1 tsp garlic,…
Oh, dinner. How I love you. This one was super-easy, involving about 5 minutes of prep (no kidding). First I started the packet pork. Somehow I forgot that it was supposed to have lemon pepper though, so I just used salt and pepper. It was still good, but it’s better with the lemon pepper. When…
