The Cuban Sandwich is a classic. Made with roast pork, Virginia ham, imported Swiss cheese, dill pickles, mustard/mayo on Cuban bread….then grilled into amazing.

Baked Sweet Potato {with Steamed Asparagus, Goat Cheese & Fried Egg}
While many people enjoy hash browns or home fries for breakfast, we typically don’t think of a baked potato as a go-to morning meal. I’m here to tell you this dish has everything you need (with the exception of a side of bacon) and weighs in at under 250 calories. Continue reading »

This Warm 7-Layer Salad is addicting and gorgeous. There’s so much going on here. Layers and layers of going on. Every bite is unique and delicious. All credit to Rachel Ray for this fabulous recipe. I must admit I was a bit skeptical the first time we made it, but once we took the first bite we were all in. That may have something to do with the wonderful bacon flavor infused throughout the layers. Continue reading »

Crab Rangoon Dip {with Wonton Chips}.
Crab Rangoon are such a favorite around here. We even make them from scratch from time to time. But that was before I served this dip to my family on Sunday and then again to my work family on Monday. I think we’ll be cutting corners (instead of individually folding and deep frying) and jump right to the good stuff from now on. It was a huge hit!! Continue reading »

Turkey & Sweet Potato Southwest Chili.
My motivation for this dish was to deliver a flavor packed hearty chili (you know…the kind your manly man will eat) but with less calories. Because lets face it, most of us don’t need the extra calories and are perfectly happy as long as we’re satisfied. This chili is definitely satisfying. Continue reading »

Have I got a great new soup recipe for you. If you LOVE Italian Wedding Soup as much as we do, you’re going to adore this Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup.
After enjoying Greek Whole Roasted Chicken seasoned with lemon, garlic & oregano it seemed only fitting to turn the yummy homemade chicken broth infused with those flavors into a Greek inspired soup aka Lemon, Tortellini & Meatball Soup.

Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms.
When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite. But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal. Continue reading »

Apple, Smoked Bacon & White Cheddar Quesadillas.
What you see is what you get and oh my my, it’s plenty. Four ingredients that play so nicely together. The tart yet sweet apple is wonderful with the sharp cheddar. And thick cut applewood smoked bacon adds a bit of salty to the mix. We enjoyed this for breakfast, but I could be very happy pairing our Apple, Smoked Bacon & White Cheddar Quesadilla with a side salad and calling it lunch. Continue reading »

When making Healthy Choices, one of the first things I add to our weekly dinner rotation is Jenny-O All Natural Turkey Tenderloins. This versatile white meat is actually slightly lower in fat and calories than boneless skinless chicken breasts. And their mild flavor lends itself to recipe creativity. Like this flavor packed colorful Moroccan Stuffed Turkey Tenderloin. Continue reading »
