Mmmmmm.  I am still licking my lips from dinner!  When Tony was at the store, by our local grocery stores meat counter, they have proscuitto ends, and once he saw that, he knew he would base the pasta sauce around that.  This particular grocery store (if I have any regular readers)  also offers the $1 rack – Tony bought a bunch of red peppers!  So...

This afternoon ended up being busier than I thought, but my lunch was a repeat of yesterday – I actually think it tasted better than yesterday too!   Love the texture the quinoa gives to the dish! I am informed that my husband Tony will be making dinner tonight!   While I am a recipe cook, Tony is a fly by the seat of your pants cook...

I had just a bit of asparagus and crab, really not enough to do much with, so I decided to make a crustless quiche in my small cast iron skillet. Crab and Asparagus Quiche 1.4 ounces asparagus 2.75 ounces crab 1.35 ounces real bacon bits .85 chopped baby spinach 2 ounces cheddar cheese 1.5 cups liquid egg  whites (I am all out now! 🙁 )...

I like busy work days.  I seem to be able to focus really well under pressure, so I usually don’t mind being in the weeds!  So I guess I’ll begin with breakfast!  Egg White Bake with Spinach, Potato and Feta Cheese 3.5 ounce cooked potato, sliced thin 1/2 cup liquid egg whites handful of baby spinach 1 ounce tomato basil feta cheese I sprayed my...

If you have ever worked in a restaurant, you know what the term “in the weeds” means.  It means you can’t keep up with your tables, you are taking an order at one table, when you know that food is up in the kitchen for another table, and your busboy is outside smoking a cigarette right when you need him! So although I work in...

I stopped by the store on my way home and as luck would have it, they had a 1.5 pound bone-in ribeye in the 50% clearance bin AND any meat you can put in a brown paper bag, you got an additional 20% off!! I got the steak for $4.85!!  It was delicious too! The crab meat I got from Fresh Market when I went...

I am so glad I found this!   I’ve read about sugar free apple pie filling, but had not been able to find it, and to order it online the shipping cost was too much.  I found this at Walmart of all places – each can is only $1.69 and each serving is 30 calories and 7 grams of carbs per 1/3 cup – not bad!...

My friend Renee actually brought me a food magazine that I had never seen before!  I didn’t think that was possible!  It is called Cuisine at Home and I really like it – and no ads!  One recipe that caught my eye was the French Onion Salisbury Steak – and you all know how I hate onions, so I subbed in mushrooms.  While I don’t...
