I am always on the hunt for a good recipe. I look high and low for recipes that stand out. It was a little harder to find interesting chili recipes. I think I've made your standard chili recipe hundreds of times. Black bean and sweet potato, verde, white chicken chili, Texas chili among others are [...]
Here is the first recipe of the new year. I wanted to do a recipe that was healthy, fun and easy. I wanted to post something that is totally contrary to what people think eating healthy is this time of year. Many people are countering their weeks of excess with bland, unseasoned poached chicken breast [...]
Have you eaten cottage cheese lately? Most of you probably haven't. It's outdated. Your mother and grandmother's diet food. You probably saw them eat it a long time ago and associated it with boring health food. I'm here to tell you to give it a second chance. Why? Because it is actually inexpensive, great protein, [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
This recipe for Vegetarian Greek Lentil Casserole from Kayln's Kitchen caught my eye because it had to things: Greek food and lentils. I love Greek food and as you probably guessed, I love lentils. This looks to me more like a side dish rather than a main one. I also decided to add ground turkey [...]
