Zesty Garlic Chicken Wraps

June 14, 2010

I very much enjoyed these Zesty Garlic Chicken Wraps. Kramer and I had been out for a late breakfast/early lunch (but not exactly brunch) earlier in the day and were looking for something light to have for dinner. I figured that these wraps would really hit the spot, and they did! I made a simple [...]

Spiced Pumpkin Bread with White Chocolate Chips

October 2, 2009

My future father-in-law is a really healthy guy. He exercises every day of the week, he eats really well, and he’s lost so much weight in the past few years that you almost can’t recognize him if you were to look back at pictures of him from five years ago! It’s really amazing and makes [...]

Low-Fat Strawberry Jam-Filled Muffins

September 11, 2009

I honestly can’t say enough about how good these muffins are. They are so light and fluffy and stay together so well while you’re eating them, which is such an important thing with muffins. There is just the right amount of jam inside of the muffin; enough to get a nice few bites of sweet [...]

Chicken Kebabs and Panko Onion Rings

April 20, 2009

It’s getting hot here in AZ. It’s supposed to be 100 degrees today! It’s a sad day indeed. Either way, we were looking for something at least mildly healthy, low-carb, and grilled. Kebabs it was! I love kebabs and so do Dane and Kramer. This marinade was sweet and light, and the chicken was cooked [...]

I have never had “real” chicken francese before, but when I saw this recipe on Gina’s Weight Watchers Recipes, I thought it looked delicious and simple, and wouldn’t you know it, it was! The sauce was absolutely delicious and was creamy with a slight lemon flavor. The chicken itself was tender and moist. The best [...]

Beef Picadillo

February 15, 2009

Yet another recipe from Gina’s Weight Watcher Recipes! This was different and really tasty. It was light, but really satisfying. Kramer and Dane loved it, as did I. I hadn’t ever eaten picadillo before, but it’s Cuban and its name comes from the word picar which means “to mince” or “to chop”. It was really [...]

Pasta Stir-Fry

October 7, 2008

I know what you’re thinking: more noodles? But this was really good and really fast, which is what I needed it to be on a day that I both worked and went to class. This recipe uses whole-wheat pasta tossed with whatever vegetables you’ve got on hand. I didn’t tell Kramer that it was whole-wheat [...]

Chicken Taco Wraps

September 27, 2008

Is it starting to get cooler where you live? Because it’s not at all here in Arizona! The highs are still in the mid-100s! I keep waiting for the weather to cool, but it just isn’t happening yet. The only thing that’s nice about summer is that it makes Mexican food taste just that much [...]
