I am really loving some lentil dishes lately. Another week where I need something easy. Indian cuisine is a good one for that. Lots of flavor, without a lot of fuss. The key with Indian food is to not be intimidated by the long ingredient list. Many Indian dishes require you make a masala. That [...]
This recipe was inspired by two things. I first noticed this recipe from Bizarre Foods Delicious Destinations: Dublin. It looked simple and interesting and I felt I could make a healthier version without too much trouble. The other inspiration was a coworker of mine, who now walks with me at lunch. She told me about [...]
As we get closer to New Years Day 2019, it's time to look at recipes that bring good luck in the new year. I did Hoppin' John last year. This year, I am again using black-eyed peas in a dish. Black-eyed peas are a symbol of luck in the new year. I wanted to combine [...]
I am trying to do some recipes that show that you can eat almost anything and still fit it into your healthy lifestyle. I love cornbread. I don't eat it very often because it is a lot of calories. However, I wanted a challenge. I wanted to see if I could make a cornbread casserole [...]

I had to buy a bag of Yukon Gold potatoes for the last recipe. Well, I had 4 pounds of the bag I bought. Needless to say I had some potatoes to use. So I searched for a recipe that I could make in my slow cooker that featured potatoes. I found a recipe for [...]
Is there anyone out there who doesn't like a Greek gyro? If you are going for an authentic Greek taste, you use lamb. However, I'm not able to get a large amount of lamb that is required to make this. I can get lamb, but the cost is outrageous. A couple pounds was nearly 30 [...]
Looking at the weather this week, it's time to beat the heat. The slow cooker is perfect for this. No fuss and doesn't heat up the house. I ran into this recipe from Half-Baked Harvest for Crockpot Creamy Cashew Chicken and was intrigued. I love cashews and I've never tried cashew milk. I've heard a [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
