Lately I have been on a mission to use the bottled condiments and marinades that have been stockpiled in my pantry. For a while, I would clip coupons from the Sunday paper, and then I felt compelled to use them. I would buy 3 bottles of marinade just to save a dollar, even though I…

Grilled Mahi Mahi with Avocado Salad
As a part of eating healthy, my husband and I try to eat fish once or twice a week. I am somewhat particular about what fish I will eat, though. I tend to prefer fish with a mild flavor – and no sign of skin whatsoever! So, we eat a lot of haddock, tilapia, and mahi…
Cheeseburger Pizza
While I like traditional pizza, I love to explore new twists on pizza, like BBQ Chicken Pizza and Spinach Artichoke Pizza. When I posted my last pizza recipe, my friend John sent me his recipe for cheeseburger pizza. I have been meaning to give it a try ever since. His recipe had a whole wheat…
Beef Lo Mein
I love to order Chinese takeout, but it really doesn’t help me much when it comes to eating better and watching my weight. So, I was excited when I noticed a Beef Lo Mein recipe in The Best of Cooking Light Everyday Favorites. As I mentioned before, I don’t follow recipes well. As per usual,…
Friday Favorites – Episode 6
In honor of Earth Day, I thought it was only appropriate that I pick my favorite Earth Day themed posts from the past week. I think it’s great that everyone gets into the spirit of Earth Day and tries to conserve energy and resources… I just always wonder if Earth Day resolutions are a lot…
Cheese Enchiladas Unwrapped
I recently noticed that I was getting into the habit of abandoning healthy eating for the sake of new recipes and blog posts. I’ve been making far too many desserts,cream sauces, and other things that should be eaten in moderation! My waistline has been reflecting it, too. So, in an effort to reverse the trend,…
Sweet and Spicy Oven Fries
On Sunday, the weather was nice and I made some grilled BBQ chicken. To go along with it, I wanted something sweet and spicy that would compliment the BBQ sauce – so I decided to make some oven fries. I had a few yams that needed to be used, so I whipped up some sweet potato…
Lemon Grilled Chicken and Fennel Salad
One of my favorite stops on the Boston North End Market Tour was Alba Produce. I love cooking with fresh fruits and veggies. It is always a treat to get to go to the farmers’ market on the weekends and pick out ingredients for the coming week. On the tour, we sampled fresh fennel, and ever since,…
Leftover Fajita Quesadillas
Typically, when I make fajitas, we end up with a lot of leftovers. I usually have to buy about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of flank steak, which is more than my husband and I will eat! We usually have fajitas again for lunch, but after one round of leftovers, it’s nice to have something…
Friday Favorites – Episode 5
In addition to my favorite blog posts of the week, which I will get to in just a bit, I would like to pass along an award that I received this week. I thought about posting this earlier in the week, but it seemed appropriate to post it as a part of my Friday Favorites. I…
