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 [...]

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 [...]

Kinda like pancakes, only faster!

This is another recipe I tore out of an old issue of Real Simple.  It was an easy recipe, although chopping up all the ingredients and shredding the chicken did take a bit of time (and help from the husband).  Worth it though, because this meal involves very little actual cooking and it is full [...]

Here’s another recipe I pulled out of an old issue of Real Simple. We were really pleased with it, I was surprised by how flavorful the mini-burgers were, and of course I loved the salad since I am a lover of all things couscous! This was such an easy meal to whip up, [...]

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 [...]

chop chop, yum yum

Well this recipe has certainly been receiving rave reviews from many of my food blogging friends. Now that I’ve made it I understand why! Tyler and I were both raving about it as we gulped it down. Can’t wait to have leftovers at lunch tomorrow. Mmmm. I rarely make my own [...]

Two new recipes

I’m really pushing myself to try new recipes. Not necessarily “out there” recipes of things I never thought I’d try, but some new stuff. Tonight I made orzo for the first time and I broiled something for the first time. Also made my own dressing for the first time…I think. I [...]
