Tasty Brown Rice and Broccoli When I think back to the days when I was raising my kids, I wish I had done a better job of cooking nutritious foods. My idea of rice then was a box of quick cooking white rice. Hmmmm. I realize we do the best we can at the time, and [...] Chicken Thighs, Asparagus and Mushrooms What do I like best about this meal? I can make it in one skillet, have a meal complete with protein and lots of colorful veggies, and it’s low in calories and Weight Watchers points. Who wouldn’t like that? I have to say I miss my fresh herbs. While the dried herbs [...] Fresh and Spicy Tomatillo Salsa Fresh is best! That’s my motto, and I think it’s a good one. I so much prefer a Pico de gallo over a jarred salsa any day, and who wouldn’t? Everything in the dish is chopped from fresh, whole veggies and herbs. Sounds like it would take a lot of time [...] Gingery Green Soup This recipe from 101 Cookbooks intrigued me. Green soup? I love healthy food, but I wasn’t sure if this recipe was just too healthy to make a satisfying meal. Surprise! Sweet potato provides the substance the soup needs, and of course, it fits my cooking with color challenge perfectly. All those healthy greens add [...] Melon and Berries Power Breakfast I’m a big believer in eating breakfast, and I love this breakfast because it gives me a good boost for the day. The yogurt came from my yogurt maker, so it’s free of additives or preservatives. It’s so fresh and creamy. Add some sweet fruit and crunchy walnuts, who wouldn’t want that [...] Crunchy Fresh Green Bean, Colorful Tomato and Feta Salad Don’t you just feel good when you eat a salad? I do! I love salads with fresh ingredients, and this salad came from my garden (excluding the tomatoes from Trader Joes). Colorful, and so full of flavor, you have to try this simple side dish. Want to make [...] Caramelized Lamb with Fresh Cilantro Sorry, I’m still not a fan of lamb. I know – I’m crazy according to most people. My husband is one of those people, so I make lamb for him out of love and respect, but not because I plan on eating it. I found this recipe from Grill! by [...] Chicken with Spinach and Mushrooms Once again, Real Simple Magazine comes through for me. I signed up for their email newsletter, and I haven’t been disappointed. Don’t you just love the colors in this meal? Meaty mushrooms, red pepper, and fresh, green spinach. Saute all this in garlic and white wine, with the bits from the pan [...] Want a quick way to get heart healthy salmon on the table? Try this recipe from Real Simple. It uses a very easy glaze of brown sugar and soy sauce, and yet the combination broiled with salmon is fantastic! We added some shrimp and grilled it with the same glaze. Yum! Sweet Soy Glazed Salmon with [...] Creamy Acorn Squash with Turkey Sausage Stuffing I had a gigantic acorn squash in my garden the other day. It was as big as a house! Just kidding. Still, I couldn’t wait to use it. I love acorn squash! It’s so sweet and creamy. This recipe was adapted from a recipe on cooks.com. It’s a great site [...]
