Pita Salad with Tomatoes recipe Cooking Light, July 2009 I’m eating this right now for lunch… I didn’t add the fresh herbs. For some reason, I’m not too keen on those in salads. Just weird that way. I added green peppers and radishes to the mix. Last night,…

Grilled Jerk-Marinated Pork Kebabs recipe Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2008 So, apparently I’m boycotting skewers this week, even though the menu had like 3 recipes that required them. *snort* We just grilled the pork chops instead of cutting them up. They were thick loin chops that I had intended…
Greek Salad with Feta and Olives recipe Cooking Light, April 1996 I didn’t add the lettuce or the escarole. C’est la vie! I wanted the salad to marinate a bit before we ate it and the lettuce would have just wilted. Besides, I wanted to be able to…

Onion Rice Pilaf Southern Living, NOVEMBER 2004 I’m soooooooooo guilty of not reading the directions. I got the part where you’re supposed to bake the rice and said, “Who in the hell bakes rice??” I didn’t do that. I cooked it on the stove. It was pretty good,…
Dal with Ghee, Cumin, and Mustard Seeds
Caesar Salad Cooking Light, October 2003 We didn’t use egg substitute. We used two egg yolks. It wasn’t as creamy as I thought it should be. Next time I might use three egg yolks. It was pretty good, though. I think it could use a little garlic and…

Creamed Spinach Cooking Light, NOVEMBER 2005 This was okay. I don’t think my stomach liked it all that much, though. Not that it tasted bad, but there might have been something with the lowfat cream cheese that I used that didn’t sit well with me. It doesn’t look…
