Menu Plan Your Butt Off {September 25}

Menu planning. It’s one of those things that can be a pain while you’re doing it, but man, when it’s 4:00 (or 5:00 or 6:00) on a Wednesday night and you’re exhausted – it’s sure nice to know what you’re making for dinner. Am I right? I am horrible about menu planning, and consequently, find [...]

Recipe: Penne alla Vodka

I’m sure many of you are like me and love pasta!  I mean, really, what’s not to love? All that carby goodness of pasta which also just happens to be the perfect vessel to carry some luscious sauce right to your taste buds.  *drool*  Of course, then there’s the downside which is all the calories [...]

Recipe: Ravio-sagne

I love lasagna, not only eating it, but making it. I’ve spent years fine tuning my lasagna recipe. It is, by far, the most popular dish my coworkers ask me to make whenever we have a potluck meal. The downside? There is absolutely NOTHING healthy about my traditional lasagna recipe. It has four cheeses and [...]

Healthy Recipe: Family Favorite Cheeseburger Pasta

I hate to say it, but I have to admit that I like the taste of the small hamburgers at MacDonald’s.  I know, I know- bad me but I didn’t say that I actually eat them hardly ever.  I’m not sure what it is about those small, little burgers but they taste so yummy (and [...]

Mediterranean Pasta Toss

I’m just going to flat out state that I am hideously bad at food photography. This photograph does not do this dish justice at all. Okay, now that we have the ‘stating the obvious’ out of the way, I’d like to introduce you to my very favorite pasta dish in the entire world. Yes, that’s [...]

Recipe: Sausage Pepper Pasta

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 recipes to [...]

Spring Asparagus and Lemon Fettuccine

I love asparagus and this time of year it seems to be readily available and reasonably priced! This recipe is one I haven’t tried, but I do plan to make it this week. It sounds so fresh and light, but filling! I think I’ll substitute some Barilla Plus fettuccine noodles in place of regular because [...]

Pasta Primavera with Chicken

My all time favorite Italian restaurant, Vinny’s, has cooked up a little dish just for me and the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. Well, I’m sharing it with you, so it’s for you too! I’m really good friends with the owners of the restaurant and one of them has been on and off of Weight [...]
