January Journey…Day 4 of my Plant-Based Pescatarian Diet
Simple is Sustainable…and that is exactly what Day 4 was for me. It was all about leftovers and a simple dinner with no cooking involved. It was Saturday and my husband was currently out of town. So, it was just me, Lily and Mylo (my feline friends) and my best cuddle buddy, Oscar, my little …
Lasagna…Health “ier” Style
About 2 years, I blogged about a lasagna recipe that I discovered in Cooking Light magazine. Not being a huge lasagna fan, this was one I truly loved and I have spent the past 2 years improving on an already great recipe! The typical lasagna has 600+ calories and this version only has 378 per …
Grilled Veggie Sandwiches with Herbed Goat Cheese…A Spring Time Treat!
Maybe it’s a girl thing but whenever I am out with friends for lunch and there is a roasted or grilled vegetable sandwich on the menu, I’m in! Unfortunately, the man of the house has to have meat with his meals so usually this is something I just get to enjoy in restaurants. That is …
Brie Tomato Pasta…A review of Katherine Heigl’s recipe featured on the Today Show

Many times I …
Tequila Lime Chicken…Not Just Another Boring Chicken Breast!
Last week, I didn’t have high reviews for one of Ree Drummond’s…aka “The Pioneer Woman” recipes (Cajun Chicken Pasta…yuck). However, this week she redeemed herself with of all things….A Chicken Breast! Although they are usually healthy, cheap and very versatile to work with in the kitchen, they can also be bland, dry, and a little …
Spicy Shrimp and Grits…A Tried and True Recipe
Being a true Southern girl, I LOVE Grits…add some shrimp to them along with a few of my other favorite ingredients and you have a tasty sensation in one dish…Shrimp and Grits! But, what we commonly call “Shrimp and Grits” varies quite a bit from city to city in the south and it even varies …
Crab Cakes…Cooking Light Style
My husband, Jeff, LOVES crab cakes! Me, not so much. I find that often they are heavy and “bready” tasting or have too many ingredients that take away from the crab. They are also usually very fattening so I would rather save my calories for…perhaps a glass of Chardonnay? 😉 I have tried many recipes …
