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,…

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…
