Rave reviewed baba ghanoush
I’ve been working on my Baba Ghanoush for a little while now and I think that I’ve hit a home run now. Even the teenagers I tested it out on loved it (well most of them any way). But 2 nights ago I tested it on some very refined pallets (some of whom had actually [...]
Easily one of my top 10 soups – Mushroom and Pumpkin Curry Soup
This is one of the oddest mixtures but it really works well. I got the original idea from a recipe book and have improved on it in my opinion:) I usually make enough to eat it for 3 days, and even at the end I’m not tired of it. Like al of the recipes I [...]
Tortellini and Spinach Chowder – My resistance factor is a big fat 0!
Only to brag a little, this is probably one of top 3-5 soup recipes that I have ever had – bar none:) Ok – enough of the bragging. I’ll put this out there and let you all test it and see if you agree. Ingredients 1lb Italian Sausage 1/2 to 3/4 White Onion (basically just [...]
Fennel Celery Salad – simple, elegent and surprisingly worth it.
This one had me a little nervous. Fennel? What the heck is that anyway? That was my first reaction I’m normally quite adventurous when it comes to food. I like to try new cuisines, new ingredient, new ways of cooking, but even I was a little nervous about this one. I loved the way it [...]
Green Bean Delight – I’ve really got to work on the names of these recipes:)
Today I’m supposed to post a recipe – but I feel awful… Two nights ago I only got 4 hours of sleep. Yesterday I drank some hot chocolate to try and stay awake and it is killing me. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night. Frankly I just don’t feel like eating. Yuck! [...]
Sometimes you just have to chew on something: recipe for Fortified Cream of Wheat with Grape Nuts
Here is my biggest problem with weight loss diet recommendations. They always include a “great tasting health shake for breakfast”. Shakes can taste great, although I do not think that most of them do, and it is a great way to get nutrients – and it a perfect solution to eating several small meals a [...]
Caribean Pork Tenderloin On A Bed Of Letuce With Mango Salsa – yum!
This is one of my favorite recipes. I just love the look and the flavors. Add to that the fact that it is healthy and will help you lose weight – what more could you ask for. Here is the picture. I really need someone that is good a taking pictures to give me a [...]
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend
I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend! This was a great weekend for several reason. First off it was General Conference for my church. I honestly wish we could do that more often than twice a year. I certainly need the upliftment and encouragement more often, but I supposed absence makes the heart grow fonder in all [...]
Shrimp scampi – These little sea bugs are a dieter’s delite!
Shrimp, ad fish in general, have many health benefits that we should give serious consideration to if we trying to become healthier. Shrimp are exceptionally nutrient dense. It is an excellent source of selenium, vitamin D and vitamin B12 (which all promote weight loss) and unusually low-fat, low-calorie protein. 4 ounce servings of shrimp will [...]
Velvetta Spinch Muy Muy Scrumptious Dip
This is not exactly a health food. This one is just for fun. I’ve been talking about this cheese dip for a few days now and how it has plagued my diet goals a little. I’m exaggerating a little I know. I did good on my weight loss over the weekend. This is more just [...]
