Lettuce Wraps

July 27, 2009

Since starting weight watchers, we’ve eliminated a lot of carbs from our diet. I don’t think I really realized just quite how many carbs we were consuming. Oh I’ve always known I was a carb lover and don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is anything “wrong” with carbs but like most things in [...]

Green Chile Burgers

July 11, 2009

I love burgers. I still feel like I’m still making up for the 4-5 years when I didn’t eat them in high school/early college. I get a weekly craving for them. Unfortunately, eating them weekly is not very good for the waistline. However, I have to give into the craving every so often and one [...]

Sesame Beef

August 13, 2008

I can not remember a single time growing up that my mom made any sort of beef stir fry. The only Chinese style beef I can remember eating was stew meat (and I desperately need to learn how she made it cause its so good as a base for beef noodle soup which i’ve been [...]

Grilled Roast Beef Sandwich

August 8, 2007

I’m loving making paninis right now, and trying different combinations of meat and cheese and bread. Panini are all the craze right now. ..well what we American’s are calling Panini anyway. Panini is the actually the pluralized form of the the word “panino” in Italian, which means small bread roll and is typically made from [...]

Skewered Steak with Vegetables

June 20, 2007

This was my first attempt making kebobs. I wasn’t quite sure what blend of spices to use. When we grill steaks we normally just season with salt & pepper and brush with melted butter. Its the way hubby loves steak so I don’t normally use many spices on steak. I do have to say my [...]
