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 [...]
Raise your hand if you love buffalo chicken wings. I'm right along with you. The spicy, tangy sauce is SO good. However, if you look at how much sodium is in these recipes, it'll make your blood pressure go up just thinking about them. Then I ran across a recipe from Better Homes and Gardens [...]
Since I am at home this week, I like to do recipes that I don't have to freeze. This week one of the recipes that I thought of and I haven't done in a while is Chicken Taco Salad from Chow.com. It's a fairly healthy recipe, but it needed some work because the last time [...]
I was watching America's Test Kitchen and their gumbo recipe. It is as authentic as it gets. However, it uses high sodium ingredients and a roux, which is not gluten-free. I am also really busy this weekend and I need the slow cooker to do the work for me. I decided to develop my own [...]
So I was going through some recipes to find something easy. It's a busy weekend and I don't have time for something elaborate. I came across this recipe from Better Homes and Gardens for Indian Masala Chili. I love Indian food and we love chili. Problem was, I need to use what I had on [...]
This is an oldie but a goodie recipe. I've made Chicken Paprikash or a version of it most of my adult life. There's something about the paprika-laden creamy sauce that just screams comfort food. This is the national dish of Hungary. For good reason. It's a very flavorful dish. It's not also a light dish [...]
