I have been nominated for a Liebster Award!! Um…what exactly is that and what did I get? I, like many others across the net, it seems, have researched far and wide for the origins of this award. I, like many others across the net, didn’t come up with the exact origins of this award. I…

In my effort to try to step up my blog posts, I thought I would try to start a weekly recap. *shrugs* Hopefully I can keep this up. If not, I’ll be like one of those hundreds of blogs that just fall off the radar due to life. This blog isn’t a monetary thing for me…it’s –…
With a few ingredients from your pantry, you can whip up this Spicy Carrot Ginger Stir Fried Beef in under 30 minutes. Less than that if you have a rice cooker with a timer.
I had taken some good pictures of S’s Chicken Piccata dinner on my phone. But STUPIDLY I didn’t download them before taking it to the Apple store to have them wipe it clean…again…even though I’ve tried that like 7 times since I found it the stupid wifi connect doesn’t work. GRR!! Apparently, the latest software…
I’m done. I don’t want to be here any more!! I’ve done what I can and it’s up to them to finish it up and tweak and what not…. SO it was a nice break from the 2 weeks of work to have a SUNNY day and a brief trip to Montserrat! For those that…
Soooooo, today I am TOTALLY by myself today. My bubble isn’t that big and I am not sure how far I should wander. I got my days mixed up and thought V was going to pick me up today and play tourist with me. Not so much. I have a loaner phone, but there’s an error…
At some point, I will get to photograph the mountains. Hopefully this weekend I can see them. It’s rained every day this week. *sigh* Speaking of which… We had a meeting at 1. Neither of us had lunch by the time the meeting rolled around and this woman just wanted to explain everything in detail…from…
Moroccan Chicken Thighs COOKING LIGHT, JANUARY 2008True to form, I didn’t make this per the directions. I turned it into a crock pot recipe. For some reason, I don’t want to wait an hour to eat chicken thighs when I can throw the ingredients in the slow cooker and just let it cook that way….
Louisiana Goulash COOKING LIGHT, MARCH 2004 TOTALLY did not follow the recipe on this one. Something about having to wait 45 minutes for dinner on a weeknight that I don’t like. SO, with that being said, here’s what we did. Cooked the rice separately. Sauteed the celery and onion, then added the sausage. Sauteed that…
Double-Chocolate Cream Pie COOKING LIGHT, JULY 2000 I make this, but have learned to vary the recipe a little bit. The filling is VERY dense, but VERY good! I usually buy a pre-made, refrigerated pie crust because it’s easier. I do need pie weights though… I have some rice that I use to pre-bake the…
Caramel Pork March 2011 Yeah, this looks really good. I have YET to get my sauce to coat the pork like that WITHOUT using cornstarch…. I LOVE this recipe except when the anchovies are too strong. I have them. So, when I buy a can I usually stick the rest in the freezer for use…
Stuffed Peppers recipe Cooking Light, January 2003 This was pretty easy, tasty, and FILLING! I couldn’t eat the whole portion!! I thought it was going to be bland, and just by chance used spaghetti sauce. I had plain tomato sauce for it, but couldn’t find the second 8 oz can so I used Ragu roasted…
Chicken Cashew and Red Pepper Stir-Fry recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 You need to slice the chicken thinner than I did. I thinly sliced it, but I should have butterflied the breast before thinly slicing it. They came out to be rather large pieces of chicken in the dish. It was really good. It was…
Spicy Asian Noodles with Chicken recipe Cooking Light, March 2009 Rice noodles are really messy. When you’re trying to break them apart, they fly all over the counter. Do not believe the directions on the package as to how to “cook” them. Mine said to soak in warm water 2 minutes. Yeah, not so much….
Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce recipe Cooking Light, January 2009 This was REALLY quick to make. I started the garlic ginger rice in the rice cooker when I got home and then headed to the fitness center. When I got home, the rice was finished and I prepared the ingredients for the shrimp….
Chipotle-Marinated Pork Chops with Chimichurri Sauce recipe Cooking Light, June 2000 I was worried these would be too spicy. They weren’t…until you reheat them for lunch! HOLY COW! I can’t put much on the chimichurri sauce. It was watery for some reason and I don’t think it really did much to enhance the flavor of…
Cilantro-Lime Chicken with Avocado Salsa recipe Cooking Light, April 2009 I hate cilantro, so I didn’t use any. I just marinated the chicken in the lime juice. I could taste a little of the lime, but not much. Next time I may put some of the rind in with the chicken to marinate. The salsa…
Asian Flank Steak recipe Cooking Light, MAY 1996 Yeah, I’m not so great with cooking meat for some reason. This was mighty tasty, but I undercooked it at first…like WAY undercooked it. I didn’t have the right kind of vinegar so I used balsamic instead. I think it tasted better than rice wine vinegar would…
Pork Chops Oreganata recipe Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 Yeah, these really should be called lemon pork chops oreganata. They were really good, but lemony. I would add more oregano and cut back on the lemon rind and juice. We served these with rice pilaf with shallots and parmesan. Measuring cups and spoons Knife Cutting board…
Sautéed Tilapia with Honey-Scallion Dressing recipe Cooking Light, AUGUST 2006 I wasn’t too sure about this, but it was pretty good once we made it. We did not serve it over lettuce. We made the garlic ginger rice (already reviewed) and added the green giant Asian vegetable steamer medley. It was really good!! I was…
Mushroom-Chive Pilaf recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 1997 YUM! This was easy to make and VERY tasty!! I didn’t put the mushrooms in at the end. I sauteed them with the onion and garlic, then added the broth and rice. I forgot the chives, though. It was yummy just with the shrooms though! Measuring cups and…
Slow Cooker Chicken Paprikash Cooking Light, March 2006 I’ve come to realize that I DO NOT like garlic cooked in the crock pot. I thought it was the cajun spice, being as I only noticed that interesting…shall we say, flavor in the red beans and rice dishes I was trying. SO, I thought it was…
Hoisin Barbecued Chicken Cooking Light, January 2001 I really need to read the directions before I plan the meals. I didn’t marinate the chicken. OOPS! I tossed the chicken thighs in the sauce and then roasted them in the oven. They were really good!! I think, though, the next time I make them, I’m going…
Stir-Fried Shrimp with Garlic and Chile Sauce Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 This was pretty good. I had the sweet Thai style chili sauce, which made it interesting. The vinegar and the sweet sauce made it a little sweet and sour. I doubled the sauce and only had 1 pound of shrimp, so there were no…
Chicken Biryani Cooking Light, JANUARY 2009 YUMM-MY!! This was really good!! I didn’t add the golden raisins, the almonds or the HIDEOUS cilantro. I probably chopped the chicken up too big, so make sure it’s truly bite sized about 1″ pieces. My hands were cold because the chicken was still a little frozen. *shiver* I…
Fettuccine with Shrimp and Portobellos Cooking Light, April 2004 CTM did all the chopping and prep for this dish and pretty much made the whole thing, really. I made the fettuccine. *snort* We used baby portobellos instead of the whole portobellos. We always have those on hand because they’re the same price as the white…
Mango and Black Bean Salad Cooking Light, March 2008 So, I’m not really sure WHAT the tomatillo salsa does for this recipe. I may try it with regular salsa next time and see if that makes a difference. The mangoes were UBER ripe and tasted almost as sweet as candy!! I don’t think there was…
Orange-Ginger Grilled Chicken Thighs Southern Living, April 2006 Yet again, I didn’t follow the recipe. We had turkey thighs. So, I made the marinade yesterday morning and put them in the fridge to marinate while I was at work. I think I doubled the orange juice and used tamari soy sauce instead of low sodium…
Chicken Thighs with Goat Cheese Sauce and Tarragon Cooking Light, May 2001 O M G these were deliscious!! There is A LOT of tarragon in this recipe, though. If you don’t like licorice you might not like it. I had to buy two packages to meet the 1 1/2 cups in the recipe. I LOVE…
Hoisin Pork Tenderloin Cooking Light, April 2007 This was REALLY good. I can’t put much on the sauce, though. The glaze was excellent on the pork, but you cook the marinade and serve it on the side. It just tasted like salty garlic to me. I don’t think I would put some over my pork…
Braised Balsamic Chicken This was pretty good. It didn’t have enough of a balsamic flavor to suite me even though I doubled the amount. I used fire roasted tomatoes which added a great depth of flavor to the sauce. We served this with rice. Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Large nonstick skillet Spatula
Creole Chicken and Vegetables recipe Cooking Light, January 2006 This was really good, low cal, and cheap. I used the Northwoods seasoning from Penzeys to give it some added spice. We served it over brown rice. Very filling and very delicious!! Knife Cutting board Measuring cups and spoons Large nonstick skillet Wooden spoon Can opener
All-Star Pork Meatballs This is a SparkPeople.com Recipe These were really good! They make 6 HUGE meatballs. I think the next time I make them, I will probably make 12 regular sized ones so I think I’m eating more than I am. They were quite tasty and the glaze on top was yummy!! Definitely on…
Jambalaya Cooking Light, DECEMBER 2004 Well, the best intentions… I had planned on making this in the crock pot. Somehow, the crock pot came unplugged so when I got home Thursday, a little early from work, I put it on the Dutch oven to cook. It was YUMMY! I made some short grain brown rice…
Chinese-Style Glazed Chicken Breasts Cooking Light, SEPTEMBER 2001 OMG These were soooooooooooo good! I used low sugar marmalade as the “fruit preserves” and it added just that hint of citrus that made this dish DELISH! I also added some fresh ginger, about a 1 T to the sauce. It was easy to prepare. We butterflied…
Spicy Tilapia with Pineapple-Pepper Relish Cooking Light, APRIL 2007 We had this Tuesday night. That’s our light night as I WI on Wednesday mornings. It was really good. I made some cumin rice to serve with it. I would, however, use crushed pineapple in juice instead of the chunk. The chunks were just too big….
Balsamic Rosemary Pork Cooking Light, APRIL 2004 This was mighty tasty. I think I would let the sauce cook a little longer to make it more syrupy, but it was excellent none-the-less. Be carefuly not to overcook the pork on the first round. Ours was a little tough because of that. I served this with…
Colonel Benjamin’s Curry Chicken Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2003 Well, I didn’t really follow this recipe to a T. I am one of the fortunate people to have ACTUAL masala from India. Thank you, Mrs G! Her mother sent some back and I got a little baggie of delicious smelling heaven that is known…
Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn’t follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don’t think so. I think it’s something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the point where you cook the stew WITHOUT…
African Chicken in Spicy Red Sauce Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2006 Okay, so there are A LOT of spices in this one, but if you do ANY kind of baking AT ALL you have them on hand anyway. I keep that Berbere in my pantry ready to go for the next round. The first time I…
