Creamy Tomato Pasta Skillet

Adam has been out of town frequently, so I hadn’t cooked in like a week and a half until last night. Not that I haven’t been eating at home, it’s just been sandwiches and the like. So, I wanted to cook dinner since Adam was going to be home, but I was struggling with what […]

Berry Cheesecake Parfaits

Some friends of ours recently had a cookout and one couple made these wonderful berry cheesecake parfaits. I knew I had to try them! She had found them in the Spring Food & Family magazine. I made them this past weekend when my mom, stepdad, & brother came over for dinner. These were so good! […]

One of my favorite blogs to read is the Fitnessista. She has so many good tips for healthy eating and living and just seems like such a fun person. I always get excited when I see her posts pop up in my google reader. For a while, she has mentioned eating a breakfast cookie and […]

Oven-Fried Honey Chicken Nuggets

I needed an easy weeknight meal and had starred these Oven Fried Honey Chicken Nuggets from Sweet Tea in Texas a while back in my Google Reader. These were really easy to make and so delicious! This might just be my new go-to chicken recipe. I loved the sweetness the honey gave to the chicken. […]

California Chicken Salad with Balsamic Poppy Seed Dressing

Lately, I’ve been eating pretty strict according to Jillian Michael’s Making the Cut, which I raved about a few months ago, here. Thus the reason for me not posting very many actual meals. It’s been mostly grilled chicken with fruit and steamed veggies. I had put on a few pounds since the holidays and just […]

Smarter Fettucine Alfredo

This is a great, easy and tasty meal that can be thrown together in as long as it takes for the pasta to boil. I love it because it just uses a few ingredients, most of which I always have on hand. It’s also a lighter version of regular alfredo, which is a huge plus! […]

Chocolate Fudge Cookies

My friend asked me to bring dessert to dinner the other night. She was making homemade pizzas (which were fabulous!). I wanted something that kind of went with pizza, and I thought cookies would be perfect. I remembered seeing these healthier chocolate cookies on Two Peas and Their Pod and since I’ve been trying to […]

Turkey Pot Stickers

I found this recipe a while back on The Spicy Skillet and thought they looked so intriguing. This is a great healthy recipe for something that is usually indulgent. These were so tasty. I served them with rice for dinner, but they would make great appetizers as well. The Spicy Skillet made some changes to […]

Parmesan Tilapia

I have been searching for a good tilapia recipe and saw this on Delicious Meliscious. It definitely fit the bill. This recipe is super healthy and easy for a great weeknight meal. I paired it with the butternut squash risotto that I posted last week. The original recipe called for spinach, but I left that […]
