Ever since the first time I made this Green Chili, I’ve been dreaming about it, plotting and scheming to make it again. At last, I decided it was time and tonight I died and went to pork heaven. Just as before, each piece of slowly cooked pork melted in my mouth and the sweet spice [...]

Hungarian Chorizo and Lentil “Stoup”
December 3, 2009
November was a crazy month what with working on my school assignments and writing my NaNoWriMo novel. But the fun hasn’t stopped yet. My story isn’t finished and next comes the revision part. I bet if it were summer I wouldn’t feel as inclined to spend a month indoors to write a novel but because [...]
Sweet Shrimp Salad
October 23, 2009
After a gruelling, yet satisfying, turbo sculpt workout I craved a big bowl of salad. Believe me, a few years ago I would not have craved a salad after a workout – I would have probably ran to the closest McDonald’s for a Quarter Pounder, fries, and a coke. I have changed my ways and [...]
Spicy Chicken Soup

Pita Burgers
October 7, 2009

A few days ago I made a vegetarian dinner from the Weight Watchers Turn Around Program book. It’s called Tex-Mex Mushroom Ragout and this is how it’s made: Makes 2 Servings: 1 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1/2 lb fresh cremini or white button mushrooms, quartered 1/2 lb fresh portobello mushrooms, stems removed and [...]
Spicy Chicken Noodle Stir Fry
June 20, 2009
As we all know, I am obsessed with Frank’s Redhot sauce. I keep talking about it so much I think I should become a spokesperson for that product! So for last night’s dinner all I wanted was to use that ingredient in whatever dish I made. I settled on making a simple chicken marinade of [...]
Chicken (or Turkey) Meatloaf
June 11, 2009
I’ve just finished making chicken meatloaf. When I started to make it I had only added tons of garlic, onion and spices and it was already smelling yummy. Recipe for two-ish: 1lb lean ground chicken or turkey…or I guess beef 1/2 cup onion chopped 1/4 cup celery diced Garlic, I minced about 4 cloves of [...]
