If you are on a low carb diet, if you are a vegetarian, or if you like mushrooms and cheese, then you’ll like this creation! I had 2 leftover portobello mushrooms from our sandwiches (previous recipe) and I didn’t know what to do with them. I also had spinach in my fridge. After googling “spinach…

Portobello Mushroom Sandwich
When I saw a package of large and perfect portobello mushrooms in the grocery store this morning, I had to buy them. Immediately I thought about a pesto mayo on a delicious fresh bun. A big juicy grilled portobello can be just as delicious as a burger if you do it right. This sandwich is tender, crunchy…
Spaghetti with Zucchini, Mushroom and Chicken

This dish is really easy to throw together and it can be modified to your liking! Ingredients: 1 Zucchini 1 package chicken tenders, cut thin and bite sized 1/2 package baby bella…
Healthy Bun-less Burgers
Who doesn’t love a big juicy burger on a fresh sesame bun loaded with all the toppings? While it might be tasty it isn’t the most healthy dinner in the world. I’ve found a way to really enjoy a weeknight burger without all the carbs and fat. I promise it is still delicious. Try this…
Red Wine Beef Stew
With the snow comes my cravings for a soup or hearty stew. Growing up, my mom always made us a delicious beef stew with carrots, celery, onion and served it over egg noodles. It was always so warm and comforting. I can never make it as good as hers but here’s my version. Ingredients 1.5 lbs…
Chicken Enchiladas Verde
Saturday night was girls night in after a beautiful snowy day, so Alex and I decided to do some cooking. We researched a few different chicken enchiladas recipes, compared them with what we had in my fridge and decided to make a healthier version, but trust me we didn’t lose out on flavor. We paired…
Shrimp Tacos with a corn, poblano pepper and black bean salsa
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with tacos. At work, we make weekly Friday visits to the taco truck. Thinking about the endless possibilities of what you can put in a taco makes my mouth water. I’ve made quite a few versions of tacos over the last year but Kyle and I agree, tonight’s…
Stuff Your Own…Stuffed Pepper!
I had an urgent craving for stuffed peppers this past weekend and thought they would be nice for Sunday family dinner. I have never made them before but they seemed simple enough and I thought they have such potential to be delicious. Keeping things on the healthy side, I used a short brown rice instead…
Healthy, Hearty, Potato, Leek & Spinach Soup
When it gets cold, who doesn’t love a big bowl of hot soup? Well, Kyle. He detests soup which is so upsetting to this cook because I would make it almost every night in the winter if he would eat it! Soup is easy to make, hearty and can be very healthy. There are really…
Chicken Fried Rice
Jews love Chinese food, I’m not sure why but my family has been ordering Chinese delivery since I can remember. Often times however I find it too greasy and I feel sick as soon as I’m done eating it. Cooking any kind of Asian cuisine at home can be scary but I’ve found a way…
Mac n’ Cheese
What’s better than hot, cheesy mac n’ cheese with a nice crunch on top? Try this recipe and know it’s just as delicious leftover!! It’s up to you what cheeses to use- there are so many options! In my experience, Trader Joe’s has a huge selection for the best prices. Photo Courtesy of Snap Photography…
(Buffalo) Oven Fried Chicken
What’s better than fried chicken? Nothing. But let’s face it, fried foods are not good to eat on a regular basis. I have made many adaptations of Ellie Kreiger’s oven fried chicken recipe but tonight’s was the best! Really, you can make it any way you want but you have to know the trick- and…
Chili for the Non-Beef Eaters
Enjoy a healthy turkey chili on a cold fall afternoon! I learned this recipe when I was on a diet last year and adapted it to my liking. It also comes in handy when Kyle’s parents visit since they don’t really eat meat. I was originally scared of the ground turkey but in something like…
Mediterranean Tuna Fish
Do you get tired of the same old tuna fish? All the mayo isn’t good for you anyways. Try this Italian style version to dress up a lunch time favorite. Ingredients Can of tuna fish Capers Artichokes Red Onion White Beans Juice from a lemon S&P Garlic Powder Red wine vinegar Fresh Parsley (if you…
Italian Combo
There’s a lot of different ways to make an Italian Combo. Personally, I think the best one ever made is at Jersey Mike’s (now Mikee’s Place) in Southbury, CT. You have to get everything on it and add hot peppers and bacon. It’s the ultimate sandwich mostly because their bread is fresh and delicious….
