This weeks video is a repost of my new favorite dish, Fried Bulgur with Peas and Pomegranate. I wanted to get you guys a real recipes with nutritional info instead of just the idea I posted a few weeks back.
This week’s video is a complete dinner idea from beginning to end. No edits, no camera cuts just me, in my kitchen as I am most nights trying to make a fast healthy home cooked meal for me and the family.
Boring? Possibly. Realistic? Definitely. :~) Read the rest of this post
As I said in my original "crusted" tilapia idea, I’m fascinated with breading things in anything other then traditional breadcrumbs. I just think it’s fun to come up with new ideas for "bread-ings".
I was on a mission to use the leftover turkey in some ingenious ways this year. Something fun and different but light, especially after the amount of calories I’ve consumed over the last 2 days! Yikes!
So this morning I whipped this up and oh… my… word… SO GOOD! Read the rest of this post
The toddler and I make one of my favorite quick holiday desserts. It’s not "healthy", per say but it’s fast, low fat and EVERYONE loves it! EVEN the husband, and he doesn’t like any of my dessert ideas.
I made this dish for a friend. That’s right, I have sought out others to cook for since the husband is overall… BORING! I kid, but you know what I mean. I know his likes, and dislikes and it’s fun considering someone else’s. I guess you can say I’m food cheating. That’s right I admit it, I food cheat on my husband. At least he knows and we have an open dinner relationship. LOL :~P
Continuing with my thanksgiving prep I present a completely new idea. Well…. at least I think it’s new. :~)
As you may know this is the first year I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I’m feeling the pressure to make things very traditional but I also want to make them my own (with health and nutrition in mind, of course!) So instead of the old fashioned candied mashed sweet potatoes with marshmallow on top, I’m going for sweet potatoes in the crockpot. Read the rest of this post
I couldn’t help myself, I took my hand at another Oatmeal flavor. This time taking the tea idea and going for more flavor!
The toddler and I cleaned our traditional morning Pomegranate (we do it at least once a week) and the idea smacked me in the face! Why not top some berry flavored oatmeal with theses!
I have such good online friends. Really, I do!
When Kraft announced it’s Cooking Video Challenge I received a ton of emails and telling me about it. It made me smile to know that you guys know me so well. This is right up my alley! Read the rest of this post
AKA Trail Blazin’ Quick Oats! That’s my more creative name for the contest. :~)
This recipe was made exclusively for Quaker. They extended a contest for a few bloggers that were invited to a Quaker weekend in Chicago. I learned so much about oatmeal and nutrition overall. It was SO much fun. I’m planning a whole post about oatmeal soon but first I had to make something up for the contest.
Our mission… Read the rest of this post
Continuing with my Thanksgiving experiments I present to you the best mashed potatoes EVER! Seriously, I’m not kidding, these were d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s! Simple but delicious. EVEN the husband agreed and let me tell you, he’s a mashed potato snob. It’s really the only way he even likes potatoes.
I was in one of those moods. You know, when you want to eat something just to eat. Because you know it’s there. You’re not particularly hungry BUT if grab whatever it is you want, you’ll eat. And eat. and EAT!
Yup, that’s the mood I was in. I had a bag of soy crisps calling my name from the pantry. I just couldn’t get them out of my head. Normally I’d grab the bag, and I’m not kidding, eat the whole thing. I rarely can stop at a serving size. Read the rest of this post
