A quick dish

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.  [...]

Broccoli-Cheddar Quiche…revisted

I’m revisiting another recipe that I’ve made before. I’ve calculated the WW points using e-tools and taken some new pictures. It was a quick and easy dinner for a Thursday night (Office night!!) and I served it with spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. Best part was I got to use one [...]

A Spinach Salad

I know I said we weren’t really trying any new recipes this week but I lied!  Tyler requested I buy a bag of spinach last weekend and since we’d gone 4 days without using it I figured it was time I took matters into my own hands.  So I got a recommendation for what to [...]

Pine Nut Pasta

Oh sweet mercy this pasta was so so so good!  The toasted pine nuts truly made the dish, they are small but packed with so much flavor!  Kind of high in WW points, but worth it!  Tastes great reheated for lunch the next day too!

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 [...]

Two New Foods

New recipe tonight, with 2 ingredients I’ve never used before! Turkey sausage and polenta. I was more unsure about the turkey sausage than the polenta initially, sausage kind of grosses me out sometimes, but this turkey sausage was very lean. Tyler actually cooked this for us on our grill pan, which we’ve [...]

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Well I just couldn’t wait to try another Dorie recipe! The first one I bookmarked in my new cookbook was this recipe for lemon poppy seed muffins with a tasty looking icing. It didn’t take long at all to whip up a batch and they are SO GOOD. They are the perfect [...]

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. [...]
