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 [...] 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.

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 [...] Chipotle Shrimp Last night we splurged and went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Boy, was it worth the splurge! Tonight, we decided to keep it light. I found this recipe in Cooking Light magazine (one of my favorite reads). Looking in the frig, I had bagged salad that had to be eaten, so instead of rice, [...] Quinoa! I love this grain! Last night’s Quinoa Side Dish and recipe from allr Mediterranean Quinoa Salad ecipes.com, and roasted asparagus, easily turned into my lunch today. I just added 1 chopped plum tomato, 1/4 cup fat free feta, and two tablespoons chopped Spanish olives. I had one serving of Quinoa Side Salad leftover (4 Weight [...] Mother Rimmy's Chipotle Tequila-Lime Chicken Salad So today I had a very ripe avocado that was probably heading for the compost bin. It wasn’t firm enough for a salad, and I didn’t want to make the usual guacamole with it. As I was daydreaming about what I could do with this avocado, I was inspired to [...] Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad Whenever I make a pasta recipe I have leftover pasta. This week I had tomato, fresh roasted bell peppers and mozzarella cheese. I waste nothing, so I decided to make a light pasta salad. The roasted peppers really add a wonderful color and flavor. Serves 2 1 ea Roma tomato, chopped
