Farmers Market Roasted Veggie Lasagna. I hope the picture above does this dish justice. It was amazing. I’m not one to go crazy with personal horn tooting but this was a huge success. I have shared it with 13 people as of noontime today. The responses were unanimous. “Oh my.” “Can I have one more bite.” “Yum!” “Is this recipe on Lemony Thyme?” Continue reading »

The pictures don’t do this recipe justice, but I am here to tell you that Italian Sausage & Polenta Lasagna is pure comfort. Surprisingly, that comfort is delivered without a guilt trip. That’s right, this recipe came straight out of the new Weight Watchers cook book AND it’s made in the slow cooker. Badda bing. Badda boom. Continue reading »

Most days, whether at home or the office I’ll have an Egg White Omelet Bowl for breakfast. A bed of spinach (getting my calcium anywhere I can), a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and scallions, and an egg white omelet packed with herbs. Today, my herb of choice was Thai Basil which is thriving in our Aero Garden presently. This Thai Basil Egg White Omelet Bowl fits in so nicely with my Healthy Choices plan. Continue reading »

I hope you’ve been enjoying my mini-series on Lunch Bowls. I’m a bit obsessed with portion controlled meals. Mostly though, I’m quite fond of a theme.

It helps my brain get organized.

We recently celebrated National Crabmeat Day. When Bowl Week meets Crabmeat a California Roll Lunch Bowl is born. Continue reading »

Egg, feta cheese, fresh oregano, ground chicken, lemon zest, spinach

I am a self proclaimed lover of all meatloaves and meatballs. I can’t recall a meat-loaf combination that I didn’t love. I’m rather proud of our Greek Meatloaf recipe. We use ground chicken, which on it’s own is fairly bland. No worries. Here’s how we bring full blown flavor to this dish. Continue reading »

The holidays have a way of throwing us me off course. No matter how hard I try, temptation is waiting at every turn. This year is going to be different. Yes, I will cave to some temptations, or better said…enjoy my favorite dishes in moderation. Yet, what I won’t do is completely abandon my Healthy Choices plan only to start over on January 1st. Nope, not gonna do it.

This Chickpea & Spinach Stew, adapted from Weight Watchers, is going to keep me on track. Continue reading »
