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 [...]

Parsley Grilled Chicken

July 8, 2009

I mentioned in a recent post that I started weight watchers. I’ve been “trying” to lose weight for the last year or so…. counting calories off and on, “going” to the gym. Whatever it was that I was doing was failing. More like the lack of what I was doing. I finally had the last [...]

This recipe is something I’ve been eating as long as I can remember. Its nothing fancy, and quite frankly doesn’t even look too fabulous. But oh are they delicious! My mom made these a lot for us as kids cause they were super easy to prep on the weekend and stash in the fridge. I [...]

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 [...]

Smoky Braised Chicken & Gnocchi

August 9, 2008

I’ll be honest and say that the flavor of this dish is not exceptional; its very simple. After all, there’s really only paprika and a bit of salt & pepper. But it was a deliciously simple dinner. I’ll definitely make it again – hubby really enjoyed it and it was so easy. Its perfect for [...]

Veggie Lo Mein

February 22, 2008

I’ve been slacking. Work has been nuts – I’ve been working like 11 hour days on top of continuing to check my email once I get home; the result of having half our team half way across the globe. So I guess I’m not really slacking per se, but I’ve been too busy to dedicate [...]

Chinese Style Tilapia

February 13, 2008

This dish goes back to my childhood. My mom used to make fish this way, usually with catfish cause its inexpensive and with the sauce who can really tell? I prefer to make this using tilapia but either works! I love it. Hubby loves. But to be honest, I’m not sure what the masses would [...]
