Hot and Sour Soup with Tofu

This recipe was Tyler’s pick, but I indulged it (with a big glass of milk to combat the spiciness and you betcha I pulled those hunks of tofu out of my bowl after I photographed it!)  I would put wontons in this soup rather than tofu, but that’s just me.  It really was a great, [...]

A WW winner

Love this recipe! Hallelujah! I actually didn’t make it since Tyler is the “stir-fryer” in this household, but I chopped up some stuff and “supervised” and ate it and oh my it was delicious! This is from the “15-minute dishes” portion of the cookbook. Can’t wait to have it again Stir-Fried Beef and Snow Peas [...]

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 noodles.  [...]
