It’s been a while since we’ve done a Meatless Monday. I love vegetarian meals because they are so easy and you get your protein and vegetables all in one dish! I adapted this recipe to suit my tastes (it was originally meant to be burritos but I prefer enchiladas). We had these along with Spanish…

Chipotle at Home
Our family loves Chipotle. I would have been devastated if our small town did not have one here…that along with Chick-fil-A, but I digress. Most people do not know that the flour tortillas have 290 calories, the serving of white rice has 130 calories and the chips have 570 calories! Tack on sour cream and…
Cedar Plank Salmon
The health benefits of eating fish have been overwhelming. It is a low fat protein that has also been shown to alleviate ailments such as depression and inflammation. Eating fish twice a week can also lower your risk of dying from heart disease. This recipe is my favorite preparation of one of my favorite fish,…
Potato Soup with Shrimp
With Fall officially here, it has felt like soup sort of weather. We had this soup along with homemade wheat bread. I have made this soup without the shrimp and I substituted frozen corn instead.

Homemade Pizza
The dough for this recipe is out of my new favorite book, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The crust puffs up in the oven beautifully. You can top the pizza with your favorite ingredients. I personally like spinach, mushrooms and cheese but tonight we opted for pepperoni, red onions, and mushrooms.Olive Oil DoughMakes…
Comfort Food
The first time I saw this recipe I gulped. Hard. There is something very comforting about macaroni and cheese. I’m a big fan of adapting recipes to make them low fat but there are some recipes that just should not be altered, like this one. The only modification I made to this recipe is that…
Tandoori Chicken
If you go to any Indian restaurant, you will most likely find this item on the menu. The chicken is cooked in a tandoor oven which is designed to cook meats and Indian flatbreads at a very high temperature. I love this recipe because you can marinate it overnight and fix it on the grill…
Food Memories
There is something very comforting about having a meal from your childhood. My mother would fix chicken curry at least once a week when we were growing up. I never understood how labor-intensive it was to fix this dish, especially after a full day of work! It was our favorite meal by far, especially for…
Turkey Meatballs
I like to double the recipe and freeze half of the cooked meatballs so that I have a meal in case we have last minute company or I want to deliver a meal to someone in need. I find baking the meatballs instead of cooking over the stove top is less messy. Turkey Meatballs Recipe…
My Inside Out Burger
On our last visit to Kansas City, my sister introduced us to this fabulous burger restaurant. Food Network Magazine recently rated its inside out burger as the best in the state of Missouri. This burger has blue cheese stuffed inside, applewood smoked bacon, an onion ring, butter lettuce, ketchup, & mustard all served up on…
