I was really tired on a Friday night and was vegging out watching YouTube after a long work week. While I was surfing for videos to watch, I caught a Tasty video about African party rice recipes. I love a good rice recipe. I also love a good ethnic recipe. I had never heard of [...]
Ok, so I must be up for a challenge this week. I picked a really carby recipe and figured I'd give it a shot to make. It sounded really good. The Italian recipe called Sartù Di Riso gets most of its calories from the arborio rice and mozzarella cheese. It's not a healthy dish by any [...]
So I had no idea I would be making burgers out of pork tenderloin this week, but I couldn't help but try it. I ran across a recipe from Taste of Home that used pork tenderloin as the meat in a burger. I never thought to use it that way. The original recipe for Tempting [...]
Bolognese sauce is one of the standard sauces in Italian cuisine. It's a meat sauce which is totally delicious. Because it is a meat sauce, it's also a lot of saturated fat and calories. Then pair it with pasta and you have a nutritional nightmare. Fear not, the humble lentil saves the day! Sorchapud posted [...]
I have made both chicken and rice bakes and chicken tortilla casseroles. They are both very good. While I was thumbing through a list of recipes for chicken and rice, I saw a recipe from Half-Baked Harvest that combined the two. This recipe for Skillet Salsa Verde Tortilla Rice Bake uses salsa verde, the green [...]
I am ALWAYS on the hunt for new recipes. I am a YouTube chef channel junkie. I'll admit I watch a lot of recipes that I know I'm never going to make. Chef Steps is a great channel, but most of what they do is made for the professional kitchen. Fun to watch, but I [...]
I love a good vegetarian "meat" loaf. Heck, I love a good meat loaf too. However, we haven't made meat loaf lately because they are too high in calories. I turn to veggie loafs as a good way to get that same taste in a healthier way. Tasty, which you probably have seen their quick [...]
One of the things I'm learning with cooking at a lower calorie level is sometimes a dish doesn't turn out as large of a portion as I would expect. I know this with beef stews, but I've also learned this with recipes that just use chicken thighs as a protein. In stews, there is a [...]
We love spaghetti squash here at home. This week I needed something simple that I could throw together without a lot of fuss. I saw a recipe for spaghetti squash toss and instead of just adding a few things to the recipe, I decided to change it up. Spaghetti squash is as versatile as pasta, [...]
We love tagine recipes over at our house. A tagine is an earthenware pot with a triangular lid. Most of us do not have one of these laying around, but you can make tagine recipes with what you have at home. What's awesome about these recipes is they are fairly healthy. They contain vegetables and [...]
