Stuffed Peppers
This is the perfect working from home meal, because you can assemble on a 10 minute break, and then 90 minutes later, dinner’s done! It is a perfect well-rounded one dish meal because it combines protein, vegetables, starch, and dairy. These stuffed peppers include many hidden veggies and lean ground turkey or chicken. If you […]
The Red Salad
As the one year anniversary of the Game of Thrones finale was this week, I felt inspired to honor one of the show’s top-rated episodes (you know, unlike the finale) with this delicious summer salad. The roasted beets combine well with the balsamic vinegar and sweet strawberries. It is truly a red salad as the […]
Strawberry Graham Cracker Pie
With no added sugar, this pie is a healthy treat to bring to a Memorial Day BBQ. This “no bake” treat is refreshing on a hot, summer day. If we weren’t in quarantine, I would have made it as a Red, White, and Blue Pie, by simply replacing half of the strawberries with blueberries.
Mediterranean Potatoes
This recipe pairs well with my recipe for Chicken Skewers (also known as souvlaki). My grandmother would make these potatoes in the oven in olive oil. I cut the fat by replacing olive oil with non-stick cooking olive oil spray.
Chicken Skewers
My daughter asked for “chicken on a stick” for dinner. A great start to the Memorial Day weekend. These easy chicken skewers marinate in just twenty minutes and bake just as quickly – or you can grill them. Since it was raining out, I baked them.
Eggplant Pizza
This is my daughter’s favorite vegetable dish. The first time I made it, I convinced her it was a pizza so she would try it. Now she loves it! During the summer, we have replaced the tomato sauce with a slice of fresh tomatoes and a sprig of fresh basil per pizza stack. We make […]
Apple-Broccoli Slaw Salad
This tasty salad is easy to prepare. Apples are the secret star to this dish. Whip up your own vinaigrette to cut out some of the extra calories from oil. Using prepared broccoli slaw saves time. This salad can be prepared as a quick side dish or main course after work.
Healthier Bread Pudding
My first “guest” recipe as this was made by my husband for me on Mother’s Day. This recipe makes bread pudding healthier by using Schmidt 6-4-7 bread, and replacing the eggs with Egg beaters. We also did not use any heavy cream. It still tastes delicious. This is a great recipe when you have an […]
Beet Greens
Farm fresh beets come with the “tops”. These are great greens to saute and enjoy. Don’t throw out those “tops”! Quick, easy, and healthy.
