Lighter Basic Coleslaw

I’ve never been a big fan of coleslaw, primarily because its usually swimming in mayonnaise. I actually used to hate mayo but its grown on me in moderation. Hubby on the other hand is definitely a fan so I try to accomodate his love of things like potato salad and coleslaw on occasion but try to minimize the [...]

I have been on a serious mexican food kick lately. Hubby finally had to tell me he was sick of eating enchiladas. I’ve been enjoying making a big batch of enchiladas on the weekend and putting them in the fridge ready to go. Coming home & throwing them oven = easiest meal ever! I’ve been [...]

I seriously love me some good Mexican food. Chinese takes first place in my heart since I’m half Chinese after all, but Mexican takes a close second. We eat Mexican food all the time; its a weekly staple in our house which also means that fresh salsa is also a staple. My usual go to [...]

I love summer time grilling. Quick, easy and delicious dinners in a matter of minutes. I frequently marinade chicken after dinner for the next day so when I get home from work, all I need to do is fix up some veggies to toss on the grill along with the already prepped chicken. Its fabulously [...]

We have a couple weeks of spring left before it will be too hot to enjoy dining on the deck. I’m really not ready for another ridiculously hot Texas summer but considering the fact that its already in the mid-80′s and we haven’t even reached May, means that 90/100 degree weather is just around the [...]

Spring is upon us. We’re hitting temps in the 80′s already. Sigh. I have a feeling that we’re in for a short Spring this year and a long hot summer. I’m not ready. I hate Texas summers. I dread it every year! But for now, I will try to enjoy what remains of decent weather [...]

Pita bread. Its one of those things when I started blogging that I never imagined I’d make myself. But now its one of those things I can’t imagine ever buying again! Homemade bread is always better than store bought, but seriously — fresh, piping hot pita bread can’t be beat! The directions say let cool?? [...]

I’ve had chili on the mind lately. Its such a good hearty comfort food for a cold day. The end of winter is quickly approaching as we steady into 60 degree weather. I was flipping through my copy of The Food You Crave by Ellie Krieger and saw this recipe. And I knew I wanted [...]

I love muffins. They’re good for breakfast, snacks and dessert. I mean cookies and brownies are good for all that too, but you definitely feel a little guilty for eating a brownie for breakfast. But muffins, no guilt. Especially if they’re made with whole wheat flour! We started weight watchers last June and I’ve only [...]

The first time I saw this recipe, I knew it would be a winner. For starters, one of my favorite bloggers Elly blogged about this delish meal. Second, you really can’t go wrong with this blend of ingredients. I love ancho chile powder!! I actually stopped buying regular chile powder about a year ago. Ancho [...]

Its the start of a new year which means everyone is ready for a fresh start. Everywhere you turn its about eating healthy and losing weight! I figured I’d chime in with a healthy side dish! Well leaving off the sour cream would be the way to go. I like a little sour cream with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m still alive. I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. I”m trying to fix that though! (How many times have I said that? ) But really. Work has been hectic for awhile. I started a new position in early May and it has kept me busy! But I’m working on my work-life balance and [...]
