sweet potato curry

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste buds, but Tyler loved it!  It is from the most recent issue of Cooking Light and it’s an interesting use for sweet potatoes.

Spicy Thai

Tyler picked this recipe out of the latest Cooking Light.  If you haven’t checked out CL recently you should.  Last month they launched their new design, with a photo of EVERY recipe.  It is fantastic.  Many more recipes than before, and less of the travel/exercise/beauty filler they were using so much of before.  This noodle [...]

Thai Chicken with Cashews

Last weekend I finally went through my google reader to get inspiration from my starred recipe.  I’ve had this one starred since last summer and Tyler cooked it up for dinner on Monday night.  It was good but a little too spicy for me (I blame that on Tyler who often dumps spices in without [...]

Tyler made this recipe last Saturday as a bit of a Valentine’s surprise.  I had to work that day and informed him that I did not want to have to do dishes at the end of the day, so while a nice elaborate romantic dinner would be great, I’d rather we just get pizza!  Instead [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thai Chicken Satay

Finally got around to making this recipe this week with Tyler’s help!  We both really liked it, but it may have had a stronger flavor if we had marinated the chicken longer than an hour.  Definitely a keeper and much healthier than going out for Thai food!

I was really happy with this recipe! Tyler said he thinks he’d like it more without the ginger, but my taste buds said it was fine You could change this recipe up with many different kinds of vegetables. I couldn’t find shiitake mushrooms (our store NEVER has them) so I [...]
