Tyler bookmarked this recipe in this month’s Cooking Light and I was skeptical, but it won me over! I don’t usually eat sweet potatoes or squash because they are so….sweet. However, drench them in swiss cheese and I’m a big fan! This recipe took some time to pull together, but it was worth [...]

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.

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 [...]

This chicken was delicious, and quick and easy to boot. Pitting the olives took the most time, so I recommend you buy olives that are already pitted to make meal prep even easier! Also, don’t forget to add the feta cheese like we did!

We have a grill ya’ll. A bonafide gas grill with three burners. One of the many priveledges of being a homeowner! So far we have made hamburgers and steak tacos. I foresee much more steak in our future now that we have a fabulous way to cook it! Tyler picked this recipe out and [...]
Strawberry Salad

The latest copy of Cooking Light is chock full of amazing looking recipes, many utilizing one of my favorite foods: strawberries! I saw this salad and while I typically try to avoid fruit in my salad (sweet things with salty things tend to bug me), I decided to try it and I am so in [...]

I was flipping through my Best of Cooking Light cookbook over the weekend and ran across this recipe and decided to give it a try. We had half a batch of potstickers in the freezer that I wanted to cook up with another asian inspired dish. I altered the Cooking Light recipe a bit based [...]
More mushroom risotto

I was craving mushrooms again and found this recipe on Cooking Light’s website and decided to give it a try. Very glad Tyler was around to assist me. He chopped everything while I stir, stir, stirred the risotto. This risotto actually tastes very rich and creamy. I used 3 kinds of [...]

Despite being extremely preoccupied with the latest addition to our family, I did manage to get food on the table a couple of nights this week! I haven’t had much time to read through the latest issue of Cooking Light, but this recipe did catch my eye and I put it on our weekly menu. [...]
Hearty Lasagna

I don’t think I cooked a single meal last week, I was in another cooking slump. Tyler thankfully stepped in to make dinner last night (don’t ask me what we ate Monday-Friday last week, it’s honestly a blur of cereal and take out). I had been in search of a healthier lasagna recipe [...]
