So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...]

I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...]

It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...]

I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...]

I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...]

Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...]

It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...]

Sunday I made this sandwich on a complete whim. I just bought a bunch of red delicious apples (they were on sale.) I had 2 slices of turkey breast left in the fridge and a few wedges of The Laughing Cow Cheese just waiting to be used. As you guys may [...]

This is the grilled updated version of a sandwich I made earlier this year. I know not everyone is a fruit and meat person, but I'm just REALLY into the pear/turkey combo as evident by my latest burger creation. I've made a variation of this sandwich 3 times this [...]

Unfortunately, I only had 4oz of leftover ground turkey when I made this experiment. It came out better than I ever expected and it would have even been better if I could have made it with more ground turkey. The pear/ginger combination was awesome with the turkey. It was a [...]

Between this and this I'll never make tuna with mayo again. Not that I was making it very often, as I hate (despise would be a better word) mayo. There's only one sandwich I use it on (this one) and I use so little, one jar would last me a lifetime. [...]

This is a cheesy idea both literally and figuratively. I wasn't going to post it but I've made in a few times and figured what the heck. Maybe it will inspire you. The idea is simply a pizza sandwich. You guys know by know I'm completely obsessed with pizza. [...]

I'm learning fruit can really bump up the fun factor when it comes to sandwiches. First, I used cherries in a Christmas Inspired Panini and then moved to pears for a fun turkey sandwich. Today I experimented with a beautiful ripe plum. It added a fun sweet texture to an otherwise boring turkey sandwich. Grilling [...]

Yesterday was my first day home since traveling to San Diego for the BlogHer conference. My body was craving good healthy food something fierce! So I started my day with a nice omelet and then made this quick tuna salad, partially because a few grape tomatoes and The Laughing Cow Cheese was all I had [...]

Ohh how I miss my kitchen! I've been so preoccupied with the conference and the baby I barely have time to eat let alone experiment. You could probably tell by my lack of new ideas recently. *sigh* I'm not going to bore you with my whining. Let me get to this new tasty sandwich [...]

So sorry for my short hiatus. It's crazy times in these parts. The baby and the conference have been keeping me busy but the Easter holiday pushed me over the edge. I had a house full of grandparents and babies to feed. :) The main course for Easter dinner was a marinated pork loin of which [...]

Boredom. That's usually where I get my ideas from. Yesterday I was hungry but didn't know what I wanted to eat. I was out of leftovers. The husband wasn't home to tempt me with fast food. And I had no desire to make a BORING old ham sandwich. Then I remembered I picked up two [...]

This post isn't as much a recipe as an idea. Actually I consider all my "recipes" just ideas. I rarely make the same thing twice and if I do it's never the same exact way becuase I'm a reactor. No, I'm not going to explode at at moment, although I do feel like I am [...]

I made this on Saturday and honestly... SHOCKED at how good it came out! I bought an avocado without a clue as to how I was going to eat it, again. Honestly, I'm not the biggest fan of the avocado. I don't even like guacamole! I just started incorporating a bit of avocado here [...]

Update: Click here to see me make this on video. I made this on Saturday and have been dying to tell you about it ever since! There is just something about the Portabella for me at the moment. I don't know what it is but the big caps just look so appetizing at the grocery [...]

I'm fairly new to the idea off adding fruit to sandwiches. I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to try it, the possibilities are endless and it's such a great way to add lots of flavors with a healthy twist. Not to mention, for my fellow Weight Watcher fans, fruit is now FREE [...]

Let's start with a confession, as I normally do. I never make Portabello burgers. Actually, I RARELY even buy Portabello mushrooms. They are just one of those things that won't fly with husband or child so I don't bother. But when I saw them at the store this weekend, I couldn't resist. I'm home for [...]

Sometimes I use the color of food to inspire me. There's something about putting together certain colors that just seems completely satisfying in both the taste and sight departments. Today I was driven by the classic Christmas colors of Red and Green. I picked up a couple of avocados during my last grocery store trip [...]

Craving alert! Well, not really a typical pregnancy craving. It was more like a desire to eat a warm healthy lunch, kind of craving. I don't have much in the house in the way of fresh produce at the moment. I used all my spinach in the Turkey Spinach Lasagna Roll-ups, I don't buy tomatoes [...]

I made these burgers for a quick lunch today. The husband said they smelled good, yet he opted for a plain old ham and cheese. Go figure. I've come to terms with the fact that I shall never understand his dietary choices. ;) Being honest, I had no idea how these Tuna Burgers would turn out. [...]
