We’re gonna make this quick tonight. The weather is so beautiful and the deck is calling my name. Dinner tonight is simple. Burgers and side salads. This is one of them. So simple…but necessary to share. I found it in a little corner of a Cooking Light magazine. After making it, I knew I had […]

I bring you an easy Summer side salad or a wonderful lunch salad full of flavor texture and healthful goodness. Yes, it can taste good, be healthy and easy to make! Have you tried Quinoa (kween wa) yet? Oh, you should! Don’t be afraid…it’s a wonderful grain with an interesting texture but so many nutritional […]
It was bound to happen…just a matter of time… Sounds like a Jim Croce song! After several trips, several holidays and many, many blog posts… Hubby and I were sitting at the table, looked each other straight in the eyes… and said…. “It’s time to re-join WeightWatchers!” Come Monday, that’s what we did. It’s time, […]
I have a delightfully simple recipe for you today. It takes tomatoes to a whole new taste level. Slow roasted oven tomatoes. I made them this weekend for my cooking demonstration at Graf Grower’s.

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil; 2 tbsp. vinegar (I use white, red or cider depending on […]
I have been really getting into stir frys these days. They are such an easy way to be creative with cooking! Color, texture, flavor… Start with a basic recipe and add your own flair. That’s what I did last night. I started with a basic recipe from the March issue of Cooking Light. The first time I […]
Please Note: This is not a recipe to start today and eat tonight. It takes two days to get to the finish line. It’s something to do while you’re doing everything else. Trust me…it’s worth the wait! I am having a love affair with beets these days. I used to HATE beets…those slimy red things […]
