Quick turkey bolognese will need to be added to your list of recipes to make soon.  However, my late husband made THE BEST pasta sauce.  He would buy a bushel of roma tomatoes at the end of the summer for like $10 and painstakingly blanch and peel the skin (because I was a super picky eater back then and he knew I didn’t like tomato...

This mock mojito with sugar free simple syrup is so delicious, you won’t miss the vodka. On July 1 I declared that July was going to be #dryjuly and give up alcohol for the month.  It corresponds with my DietBet that starts today (not too late to join! click here to get the details!)  and in order for me to lose 4%. of my body...

Yes, I am one of those people who can eat soup all year round.  And this cauliflower and potato soup is delicious. It’s an awesome way to use up leftovers, and when I saw I had cauliflower – soup was decided! The best part about this cauliflower and potato soup is that the base of the soup is not only vegetarian, but also VEGAN!  I...

I love when I can make one dish and morph it into a few things later in the week, like these pork and mushroom wontons. I love wontons so much because the possibilities are endless.  Have some protein and veggies?  Wrap it up in a wonton.  I bought 1/2 a pound of ground pork from Mariano’s – if you stick to chicken or beef, please...

These chicken sausage meatballs were the first dish I made living alone. After just a month of falling in love with a townhouse, and jumping through all the hoops with a realtor, attorney, lender, etc., my roommates (aka my daughter Hannah and my son-in-law Jacob) moved into their new home today. Hannah was quite nervous when the movers got here, making sure they took all...

Turn your leftover brown rice into crispy, golden brown arancini for a healthier twist on this classic Italian favorite, filled with gooey cheese or savory fillings!

I am all about the tot life.  If it is on the menu, I will always get it.  If. I don’t see it on the menu, I ask anyway because you just never know! Whenever there is a holiday I rarely do a meal plan that week because I know there will always be leftovers.  Jacob has been making his way through the leftover ribs,...

These cottage cheese biscuits are so good. Don’t you hate it when you think you want to make something and then realize you are missing an ingredient?  I started to make biscuits yesterday morning and had no milk of any kind.  No almond milk, skim, etc.  You know what I had?  Hazelnut Nutpods!  Cottage cheese is healthy! As soon as I grabbed the nutpods out...

My friend Bobby from FlavCity has SO many recipes.  I got his keto cookbook last year and I made a few dishes right off the bat. But like most things in life, it got put to the side and I recently rediscovered it. I made his Spicy Beef Lettuce Cups – I followed his recipe exactly for the beef filling (sans onions!) and made a...

I have to think that zucchini is one of my favorite veggies.  So versatile!  Great in soups, grate into bread, bread and deep fry, or make this zucchini gratin. I am not actually sure this counts as a gratin, but let’s just call it that, shall we?  Maybe zucchini n cheese?   This is comfort food at it’s finest.  Cheesy goodness with a crunchy panko...
