Healthier Shrimp Pad Thai
I will be the first to admit that from the time when I make my dishes and the time when I actually get them up on the website is not as fast I would like. Usually I have a back log of about 4 to 5 recipes at any given moment where the meals or […]
Lighter King Ranch Casserole
I had never heard of King Ranch Casserole until I was perusing my new Comfort Food Makeovers cookbook from America’s Test Kitchen. This traditional Texas casserole takes corn tortillas, chicken, spiced onions and tomatoes, then smothers them in a cheesy, creamy sauce before baking it all in the oven. How could that be bad, right? […]
Mexican Lasagna
I LOOOOOOOOVEd this dish. When you go to cut into it, it doesn’t stay together all pretty like a traditional lasagna, but it tastes so good that you don’t really care and neither does anyone else. It’s like your friend at the party who’s always a hot mess, but she’s so charismatic that no […]
Chicken Fricasee
I realize that a lot of people hate mushrooms and the fact that I make so many dishes with mushrooms is probably offending their very nature. In fact, when I poll people, it’s usually about a 50/50 chance that person will either love or hate mushrooms. Very rarely do I find people who are just […]
My First Fix!
My first fix was delivered this weekend from Stitch Fix! For those who missed my previous post – I gave a detailed explanation about what Stitch Fix is and how it works here. In a nut shell, Stitch Fix is an online styling service that sends you new clothes in a “fix” that they think […]

“Spa” Chicken with Apricot-Orange Chipotle Sauce
I found this recipe for “Spa Chicken” in my 2011 America’s Test Kitchen Light & Healthy Cookbook. The title of the recipe has a perfectly logical explanation – If you go on vacation to a fancy spa resort, often you will be served a lot of boneless, skinless chicken dishes. There are a variety of […]
Skillet Lasagna
Seriously…. This lasagna was tastier than a lot of full-fat versions I’ve had in the past. The best part about this recipe was the SUPER easy assembly. No boiling noodles. No meticulously layering cheeses, with meats, with noodles. No excessively long baking time. She might not be the prettiest girl at the party, but she’s […]
Healthy Noodles with Peppers and Beef
This healthy Asian-inspired dish was delicious and made enough to keep me eating balanced lunches for practically a week. I love eating out at restaurants as much as the next person, but when you spend $10+ on lunch everyday, those expenses add up quickly. Of course this is in addition to my already staggering 3-times-a-week […]
Chicken Chilaquiles Casserole
The quest for wellness in 2013 continues…. So far I’ve followed through of my goals for the new year. I quit the over priced gym, purchased a treadmill for my home, and even started doing P90X. …..and even still doing P90X after 2 weeks. Sometimes I want to slap Tony Horton in the face, especially on […]
