Sharing my favorite healthy recipes!
I had worked up an appetite for lunch today. I spent like 4 hours deep cleaning. I even pulled out my oven and cleaned under/behind that…yuck! Since I hadn’t gone the store yet, I was thinking about what to make with what little I had …
First of all, when I got into work yesterday, I had this nice big blue canvas bag on my desk, and I immediately knew what it was. Pirates Booty!!! It was filled with big and small bags of Pirates booty! The boyfriend of a co-worker …
My sister always cooks chicken parm all the time, but I rarely think of it, but tonight it sounded really good! I cooked Whole Wheat angel hair pasta, I had a jar of Barilla garlic flavored tomato sauce, I had some chicken tenders in the …
The other night, after coming home from work, I had no idea what to make for dinner. I looked in the freezer and saw that I had frozen chicken tenders (boneless and skinless), so I decided to just throw those into a skillet. I was …
While re-reading a Cook’s Country Magazine from last summer, I came across a recipe for battered fried chicken. Now, I know what you are thinking…how is that healthy? Well, it’s not! About once every other month I will deep fry something, and that frying happens …
Last weekend while watching Giada on Food TV, she made an herbed quinoa as a side dish and I thought it looked so good. I wanted to do the same thing, but I had a spaghetti squash I hadn’t eaten yet, so I decided to …
I get these smoked sausages pretty much every other week at the grocery store for a couple of reasons. 1). It’s cheap! Usually 2 for $5.00 and they are low in calories (1 serving is only 110 calories). I’ve been sick all week, just went …
I would say about 99% of the time, I DO NOT buy meat with the bones in it. I just don’t like cooking with them, or picking the meat off, etc…. BUT, my sister kept on telling me how much cheaper it is to buy …
A lot of you know already that I LOVE stir fry’s because you get a lot of veggies in as well as they can be low in calories. I will show you how easy it is to make a quick stir fry in no time! …
What a wonderful Holiday time….I haven’t ventured to step on the scale yet, I’m going to kind of detox my body by eating healthy foods for the next week or so and then see what the scale says. Thanks to my Aunt and Brother, I …
I mentioned the other day, my Mom sending me a link to Eat Better America. One of the recipes was for a chicken tortilla casserole. It sounded really good, and they replaced a lot of the fattier ingredients with different ones such as using fat …
Sometimes its the most obvious thing to make, yet you never make it. Take for example, chicken parmesan. Its super easy, quick and can be made healthy, so when I saw Chicken Parmesan on The Pioneer Woman Cooks site, I decided it was now or …
I’m not sure if you have seen these in the store yet. They are relatively new. In fact, I was asked to try these a few months ago, but every store I went to, they were not on the shelf. That is all changed. You …
My friend and I at work ran another 5k at lunch today. It was a little hot outside, but we did great. And I rode my bike to work. I was laughing so hard to myself because as I was riding home, I kind of …
I had another successful day yesterday!! I did the boot camp class with my friend at work at a Pilates studio by our office. I was SUPER nervous to go, because the first class was so hard and I was sore for a few days …
First of all I am excited to say I jogged/briskly walked another 5k during my lunch hour yesterday!! And I rode my bike to work (3.2 miles!) Wahoo!! Today at lunch is a boot camp cardio class by my office, it was really hard last …
First, I want to say that I did something today at lunch I haven’t done before….I took a boot camp work out class at a Pilates studio a few doors down from my office! Some friends of mine do Pilates, but several days a week, …
I usually go to Aldi to grocery shop, or the local Fair Share by my house, once in a while Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. I’ve kind of stopped going to Jewel or Dominick’s in the Chicago-land area, because their food is so much more …
First of all, I want to say thanks for all your well wishes about my car accident! I appreciate everyone’s kindness! I do think all things happen for a reason, so I’m moving on! The rest of my weekend was great. I got a lot …
When I got home from work, I had already made the announcement I was working out before dinner. It was so nice outside, I decided to talk a brisk 30 minute walk. Once I told my kids, I was going walking and would be back …
This is something I can have virtually every day and never get tired of it! It’s a lot of chopping, but I just chopped all the veggies: celery, carrot, garlic, red onion, cauliflower, pea pods, broccoli slaw, water chestnuts and sauteed them in a pan …
Thanks to Jen @ a2eatwrite@blogspot.com for inspiring me to make these muffins. I visited her site yesterday and saw her blueberry muffin recipe. We exchanged a few e-mails, and I was excited to make them last night. Of course, when I got home, I didn’t …
I have a new favorite cereal, and it comes from Trader Joe’s Organic Morning Lite Cereal I had a bowl of this morning, with 1 serving of Trader Joe’s High fiber cereal So, this was my breakfast with 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 1 …
Sometimes its been nice to kind of go back through recipes I’ve made for ideas. Since we have chicken all the time, and even though my family would love it if I made my home made chicken tenders all the time, its nice to kind …
