Menu Plan Monday (March 31, 2008)

Perhaps against my better judgment I am trying a couple of new recipes from my WW cookbooks this week. I hope they turn out better than the others I’ve tried recently! I hate hit or miss cookbooks. I have really lacked the desire to be in the kitchen recently, this usually happens [...]

5 Cheese Stuffed Shells

I’ve made stuffed shells before, but this time I wanted to make a more WW friendly recipe. I had a tub of fat free ricotta cheese that needed to be used up so that was my inspiration. In general, I think fat free cheese is terrible. The shredded stuff certainly is. [...]

Another Orzo Salad

My first issue of Cooking Light finally came this week! I was so excited to see my very own copy in the mailbox last weekend and quickly thumbed through it, then later sat down and bookmarked all the recipes I wanted to try. It is a fantastic issue, with a section about growing [...]

Roasted Broccoli

I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for a long long time, I’m not sure what took me so long to make it, but here ya go!  It was delicious!  Definitely a keeper.  I love roasting veggies, so easy and they taste so good!  My favorite way to eat broccoli is of course, covered in cheese.  Covers [...]

Tilapia with a Thai Twist

Whew, dinner didn’t bomb!  That’s always a relief   Tonight’s dinner was a quick one to prepare, so I had plenty of time to get in a good workout and spend some time reading tonight.  I think if we make this again I’ll serve it with some kind of veggie stir fry or asian [...]

Menu Plan Monday (March 17, 2008)

Well this week I turn to the tried and true recipes of my fellow food bloggers for inspiration. I needed a break from the fickle cookbooks that keep leading me astray! I’m trying 3 new recipes this week, more than usual, but I have high hopes! I’ll report back after I’ve tried [...]

Beer in all its forms

I am not a big beer drinker (half a beer makes me flushed and sleepy), but I’ve found several recipes in which it is a great ingredient. I’ve used it in pot roast and stew, also cheddar fondue and now beer cheese dip. Yum! We usually use Blue Moon beer since that’s [...]

Catching up!

I’m so sorry that I’m just now getting around to doing this!  With Easter coming up I have been much busier than usual at work, plus I have been trying to break away from my computer in the evenings so I can get out for some walks or snuggle up with a good book.  Giving [...]
