Mushroom and Tomato Salad I’m determined not to gain holiday weight this year! We already have several holiday celebrations in the works, so I’m going to make sure I eat light when I’m not enjoying all that wonderful holiday food. My current cooking challenge is going to help me do that. I hope you’ll join in! This [...] Colorful, Crunchy Apple and Chicken Salad with Fresh Basil and Mint Okay, it’s true. I eat a lot of chicken. I believe a chicken a day keeps the doctor away. I suppose that’s probably not true, but chicken breasts are a great source of lean protein, inexpensive, and so versatile that they are always on my list [...] Artichoke Heart Greek Salad Have you had a Greek salad lately? There are so many interesting variations of Greek salad. This one takes canned artichoke hearts (who doesn’t like them!), and combines them with fiery red onion and fresh oregano. Yum! If you aren’t on a dairy free diet, I would definitely add some feta cheese to [...] Creamy Italian White Beans & Sausage Salad So the other night we grilled turkey kielbasa, and served it on whole wheat rolls with grilled onions. Doesn’t sound diet friendly does it? (Note: I didn’t have the bun.) Just a tip here, but if you have a craving, indulge it! You can always lighten the calories by switching [...] Sweet and Tangy Pear Salad This is the best time of the year, as far as I’m concerned. There is such an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from, there’s no reason not to be eating healthier. Food tastes so fresh and it’s so colorful! Here in Seattle it’s been very warm, to say the [...] Honey Dijon and Tarragon Salad Dressing I am a new convert to goat cheese. I love the creamy texture and slightly tart flavor. It’s a wonderful change from the usual feta, blue or Gorgonzola cheese I typically see in these kinds of fruity salads. Goat cheese works so well in this salad. Add crunchy, roasted, sliced almonds [...] Mexican Quinoa Salad If you’ve been reading my blog, you know that I love quinoa. Quinoa tends to grow all by itself. I usually have enough leftover from one dish, to make another meal. This salad is high in protein and fiber, and has a really great kick. You could easily serve this as a simple supper [...] Mediterranean Salad with chickpea Patties I never in a million years thought my meat and potatoes husband would like this salad. I must admit, I neglected to tell him what the patties were made of, but he ate two servings, and raved about the salad later in the evening. This recipe from Real Simple is truly simple [...] I get so bored with the same old salads, so I decided to try this Harvest Salad from Cooking Light Magazine. What a great salad! Creamy butternut squash, brown rice, red pepper, corn and basil. I would never have thought to combine these ingredients together, but they really blend into terrific salad. The only change I made [...] Quinoa Quinoa. What a great word. I love this grain. High in protein, you can easily make a meat-free meal using quinoa that is filling and satisfying. Even though this meal would have been hearty enough, I had leftover chicken that we needed to use, so I added chopped chicken and fresh oregano to this salad. [...]
