Dinner

Grocery prices seem to just keep going up and up these days, so I teamed up with Mariano’s to create Thanksgiving on a Budget. Tips on Saving Money at the Grocery Store No matter what grocery store you shop at, sign up for their rewards card.  I have already saved $607.74 cents so far this year using my Mariano’s card Clip coupons before you go...

Picky plates are a great way to use up what you have on hand.  A little of this, a little of that and all of a sudden you’ve got a great lunch or dinner! I LOVE PICKY PLATES! And @hannahfindinghealth – I think you left your bento box here so I am using it – thank you! 😘 Last night when I was at the...

You need to put this low carb cauliflower macaroni and cheese on the top of the list to make! Being diabetic, I am always curious about low carb pastas.  But sadly, the results mostly taste like crap to me.  Either the cooking time is such a fine line from perfect to overcooked, or not cooked enough no matter how long, or they just disintegrate once...

There are just some days where at the end of the day, I realize I am low on weight watcher points.  That’s when I rely on these low point Weight Watchers Meals. I will continue to add to this list, but here are several of my favorite low point meals.  Enjoy! Side Note:  The Weight Watcher link is available in the Notes section of the...

 This is one of Hannah’s favorite recipes because of how versatile it is. The chicken filling can be made into egg rolls, lettuce wraps, or even put over a bed of rice or noodles.  The combination of all of the flavors in this dish is so perfect and savory, but also very filling! As you know, I hate onions – but if you are an...

How to cook ground turkey breast If you are making a burger with ground turkey, check out my post for the perfect turkey burger – a pat of butter in between the patties makes the...

If you have been intimated to make risotto at home, this shrimp risotto is easy! When I was in Italy I bought arborio rice that had turmeric.  The color that turmeric gives this risotto is incredible and pairs really well with the shrimp. Is it better to buy fresh or frozen shrimp? Unless you live near a body of water that you can get fresh...

My twin sister and I have been doing a Chopped Challenge on Instagram based on the suggestions of one of our followers. April suggested these items:  cabbage, bacon, potato and cheese.  We can rely on our pantry and fridge to create a meal, but we have to use all four of those ingredients in some way. The recipes were too long to post in the...

If you haven’t tried tofu in a while, definitely try my salt and pepper tofu stir fry – quick and delicious! There was a restaurant near my old office called Imperial Lamian, and they had THE BEST salt and pepper tofu as one of their appetizers.  Sadly, they had to close due to the pandemic, but every once in a while I dream about that...

This easy shrimp fried rice is a great way to sneak in some veggies! My late husband made THE BEST fried rice.  You can check out this video of how he makes it here.  I watched this a couple times today – it made me smile.  Sadly, my fried rice is nowhere near as good as he made it, but this is still really good. ...
