Chili Lime Tilapia
It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re knocked out on the couch sick for a week! Sorry about disappearing there! Ironically, it looks like about a year since the last time I got sick like that. (FYI the Crock Pot Chicken Noodle Soup is still a winner! Ross discovered if you put the pasta…
Cranberry Chicken
I have a slight confession: sometimes I hoard things in the freezer. You see, last November, right around Thanksgiving, my local grocery store had a sale on fresh cranberries: buy one, get one free (my favorite sale!). So, Ross and I decided it would be fun to make some fresh cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving with…
Vegetable Meat Sauce
I love vegetables. I love adding vegetables into anything I can. I also love crock pots. Naturally, I loved this meal. This recipe isn’t rocket science or anything, it’s just an easy dinner I made for my husband and I one night that we loved. Like, loved so much I think he just took the…
Polenta Chips
Like everything I’ve been making of late, this is a really quick and easy “recipe”. In fact, I’m reluctant to even call it a recipe – it’s not, more like a “how to” for a different application using polenta. I’ve been enjoying this polenta chips in the morning alongside some fruit and hardboiled egg whites,…
Almond Flax Granola
This granola is awesome. Really, I’m not sure what else to say. Maybe the fact that my husband got bummed when I brought some to a friend and decreased his stash? Or the fact that when we were out, he stopped by the store on his way home from work to buy more oats so…
5-a-Day Smoothie!
Check out my latest post on Fitness by Patty for a smoothie to get in five fruits & veggies! 5-a-Day Smoothie It may not be the most attractive color, but it’s delicious and a healthy start to the day! See you later this week with a delicious granola (it’d be great to eat on top…
Portobello Pizzas
Usually in our household, you’ll find us making or ordering pizza a couple weekends a month. We love Italian food, the flavors of pizza, and heck – just pizza itself! But you have to admit – pizza can be a little too calorically dense to have all too often. So, sometimes I like to play…
Melon Salsa
I’ve picked up a fun opportunity writing about unique foods for the quarterly Jacksonville Dietetic Association Journal. For the August publication we wanted to have a summer theme, so in line with all of the refreshing melon many of us crave in the summer, I thought I’d highlight a lesser-known melon: Canary melon. I wrote…
Cauliflower “Grits”
As I wrote in my review of Dr. Rob Thompson’s book The Glycemic Load Diet, I’ve been working to reduce the amount of starch and higher glycemic food items in my diet. To be honest, sometimes it’s just plain not fun. I grew up in a household where dinner every night included a protein, a…
