Light & Healthy Chicken Salad

One of my mom’s best friend’s Anita makes the best chicken salad. It is so good. I had planned on making Giada’s Curry Chicken Salad for dinner the other night, but didn’t have a few of the ingredients, so I decided to make Anita’s Chicken Salad and take some cues from Giada by adding some […]

My Husband’s Tuna Pasta Salad

For over two years of our marriage, Adam kept asking me if he could fix me his tuna pasta. I continually refused. I just didn’t think it sounded appetizing, at all. One Sunday after church, I finally conceded and told him that he could fix it. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. It […]

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

I saw these Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes on Sugar & Spice and realized they were in my fall Food & Family magazine. I thought they would be great paired with Pioneer Woman’s Yogurt Chicken and they were. These potatoes are healthy, and a nice slightly sweet addition to any meal. If you like sweet potatoes […]

Well, it was down right frigid last night, and this soup provided just the right amount of warmth and comfort. Plus it was savory and delicious! We served this soup with reduced fat crescent rolls.

I was looking for a healthy pasta recipe, that didn’t taste healthy. I found this recipe in my Best of Cooking Light magazine I bought last year. You can find the original recipe here, my changes are below. This meal is so decadent you’ll feel like you are eating at Macaroni Grill, but you won’t […]

My sister-in-law Kari made this soup for us one time and it was so delicious I just had to have the recipe. This is a great soup that is sure to warm you up. This soup is great topped with shredded cheese, sour cream and eaten with tortilla chips-baked of course:) This recipe also calls […]
