As you may have realized by now I’m a huge fan of Mediterranean flavors.  Yesterday I cooked up a huge batch of one of my favorite chicken recipes, Simple Mediterranean Chicken.  I can’t wait to eat the leftovers for lunch today.  Here is another one of my favorites that (I guess) is Mediterranean too.  Whatever it is, […]

Besides a ton of veggies, fruit, oatmeal, Ezekiel bread, eggs, and lean protein there are a few other staples I always have on hand: capers, sun dried tomatoes, kalmata olives, and artichokes.  I use them in omelettes, salads, dips, and sautes.  This weekend my wonderful husband made me a quick yummy chicken salad using some of […]

I’m not crazy about vegetables. But I eat them and try to eat a lot of them because I know they are good for me.  It’s still a struggle and I make a daily effort to get them down.  I’ve found stir fry to be one of the best ways to eat a large serving […]

I really  have to give credit to my husband for this chili.  I love cook but I have to say he really is the better cook of us two.  Whenever I make something he always suggests adding this or that.  He has a real knack for being able to make a good dish great.  This […]

Here is another on of my staple “I don’t have time to cook” recipes.  You can use this in tacos, burritos, on salads, or my favorite way: make a “bowl”.  To make a “bowl” I put lettuce in the bottom, then add about 1/4 cup brown rice, 1/4 cup black beans, the chicken, and top with […]

Or maybe I’ve just trained my taste buds over the years to think sawdust tastes good.  Regardless, here is one of my all time favorite […]

Why buy taco seasoning in a packet when it’s full of salt, preservatives and who knows what else especially when it’s super simple to make at home and just as good or better! All these spices are staples in my cabinets so I know I can always make tacos, burritos, or in my case, a […]
