I love Mexican food and I love enchiladas.  However, I don’t eat enchiladas very often because OMG, that fat and the cheese and the FAT.
Until now.
For a brief while, I had a free membership to Cook’s Illustrated.  During that time, I printed out as many recipes as I had time to.  This is one of [...]

I have just recently started eating shrimp.  I’ve never been a fan of shellfish, fish, crustaceans, or any other word for things that inhabit water.  But, I’m learning, because it really is a low-fat healthy way to get some good protein in you.
I found this recipe in the January 2009 issue of Fitness Magazine. The [...]

Did you know that in addition to February being Heart Health Month, it’s also National Chocolate Month? When Hershey’s contacted us about doing a review for their Hershey®’s Dark products, I actually paused before I shouted YES, and then I decided to take one for the team.
You’re welcome.

I am so excited to write this Food Edition of Thursday Threes!
I love food- what “free” time I have is spent scouring websites, cookbooks, cooking magazines, looking for those recipes that sound interesting to me.  I love to cook and I love to eat.  These two simple phrases makes it imperative for me to find [...]

I’m no cook. I try, but really I’m more of a Preparer. Or a Combiner.
Yeah. Combiner. That’s what I am. I like to find recipes with the fewest number of ingredients so that I have less of a chance to mess it up.
Which is why this is one of my favorite [...]

Your breakfast will be delicious tomorrow (or later today), I promise. You just have to make these muffins.
This recipe is a staple in my home and my children love it. I found this recipe for Applesauce Oatmeal Muffins on Spark People when I was diligently logging my calories (which I shall begin doing again as [...]

I don’t know about you, but cornbread dressing is THE reason I look forward to Thanksgiving. Okay, so I really look forward to ALL the food. Seriously. I grew up in a family where traditions are strong, especially traditional holiday meals. My grandma always, always made homemade cornbread dressing, and I was by her side [...]

I first made this recipe during the summer. It is an adaptation of an Ellie Krieger recipe from her show on Food Network, Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger. The biggest draw for me? One pot. Easy clean-up.
That is a great thing.
There was one problem with the original recipe, for me at least. I’m not a [...]

This is sort of a re-post.  I posted it at first over on my personal blog.  It had been so long since I had made it, that I thought today was the perfect day to make it, take pictures, and post it here for you guys!  So, I hope you enjoy!  It’s one of my [...]

The weather (here, at least) feels like autum. That means – SOUP!
This one is a favorite around our house. I’ve modified the original recipe from the Zolo Grill slightly to make it more points friendly. At eight, it’s not super light, but it’s filling. The cheese and sour cream do add to the [...]

This recipe doesn’t need much explaining!  It was ridiculously simple and easy and my children LOVED it, including the baby.  This one will become a staple in our house, that’s for sure.  I made absolutely ZERO modifications because um, I didn’t need to.

This week at The Sisterhood, and in support of our new Shrink for Good Challenge and the awesome Weight Watchers Lose For Good campaign, I will be posting DAILY a WW recipe that is near and dear to my heart, meaning I like it- A LOT.
I get bored with chicken and am always looking for [...]

You guys are gonna hate me for this one.
Here, I present to you, a “light” version of fried chicken.  ‘
It’s kind of an oxymoron, isn’t it?  Putting the word “light” right next to “fried”?  But sometimes, an occasion or your taste buds just scream for something fried, don’t they?  Life sure does get boring eating [...]

Forever and a day ago, I subscribed to the newsletter from Jillian Michaels’ website.  Last week, I got my first newsletter.
The first newsletter I got, I saw a recipe that I wanted to try RIGHT NOW.  But, my mom and I always wait and try new recipes together, so we made it today, and it [...]
