I already did a version of this coleslaw, but this time I reduced the fat even further. Plus it was time for a few prettier pictures of it. Girlfriend needed a makeover. Bad. As do I, which is why I am making reduced calorie/fat versions of things. Time to slim down. ASAP. After a couple [...]

Thumbnail image for Healthy Chicken Salad with Tangy Avocado Dressing

This recipe is great because there are so many variations you could make on this. I made a simple, no bells and whistles version (most likely because of an empty fridge), but here are some possible add-ins: Celery: Hello, lovely crunch! Red grapes: I love grapes in my chicken salad. Diced avocado: You can never [...]

Emeril’s One Pot Cooking Party: Stir-Fried Pork Salad

September 22, 2011

So…here I go again changing Emeril’s recipes. I do not think I am a better or more knowledgeable chef than Emeril Lagasse. In fact, that idea is laughable. I just know what my husband and I like. This is the fifth installment of the Emeril series–here are parts 1, 2, 3 and 4. This recipe started off as Wok-Seared [...]

Lentil Salad with Grapes and Feta

September 15, 2011

This isn’t an Emeril recipe, but since I can’t provide you with all of his recipes, I wanted to give you a recipe. Plus this is a great warm weather recipe, and (sniff sniff) warm weather won’t be around much longer. If I was a vegetarian, I would eat this every day. I might still [...]

Latest Lunch Obsession

April 30, 2011

I’m definitely a person who goes through phases with food. I’ll eat the same thing for days, or even weeks on end. Then I’ll get bored and start eating something new. This only applies to breakfast, lunches, and snacks. Dinner is something different every night. Except about once a week when we get Lebanese carry-out. [...]

Creamy Coleslaw one 16 ounce bag of shredded green cabbage and carrots (you can shred your [...]
