For a low carb dinner option tonight, I made pork lettuce wraps for my husband and me. He absolutely loved them as did I! I started by browning a pound of ground pork, seasoned with kosher salt and pepper. To the cooked pork, I added onion, carrots, red pepper and jalapeño. I let the vegetables…

Turkey Meatballs
Are you looking for a hearty appetizer to add to your New Year’s Eve party or even your upcoming Superbowl Party? I made an appetizer twice this Holiday Season and it was a hit both times. I made it once for my annual Christmas Party and then yesterday to bring to a friend’s house. These…
Ground Turkey Asian Lettuce Wraps
A little over a month ago, I made Dennis and I ground turkey lettuce wraps for dinner. I loved the flavor so much (OMG! They were soooo good!), I immediately texted a picture of them to my sisters-in-law to show them what I had made for dinner, knowing they would both love it. Donna had…
Cod with Lemon, Basil and Kalamata Olives
Who doesn’t love summer? There are so many reasons to love summer … reading on the porch or the patio, days spent at the beach, barbecues with family and friends, warmer weather, the county fairs across the country. I could go on and on. One of the many reasons I love summer is for the…
Sophisticated BLT
Tonight, we wanted a quick and light dinner. I chose to make BLT’s, but wanted to fancy them up a bit. I made a spread for my BLT that would be more than just mayo. I mixed a couple tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, pepper, and Italian…

Chicken Tostadas Marinated in Cilantro Dressing
One of my favorite fast food restaurants is El Pollo Loco. I’ve always enjoyed El Pollo Loco, but even more so now that they’ve introduced an under 500 calorie menu. This is where I choose to eat if we happen to be heading out for a quick bite on a weeknight because I know I…
Filet Mignon in Rosemary and Butter
Kylie was going to be at a friend’s tonight, which meant it was just Dennis and I for the evening. We thought about going downtown for dinner, but then I decided maybe it would be fun to just stay at home, cook and have a relaxing evening … we are going to have to get…
Fish Tacos with Corn Salsa
I love fish tacos; they are refreshing, healthy, and make a great light summer dinner. When I make this particular fish taco, I saute Alaskan Cod that I have cut into bite size pieces and let sit in a dry rub I make out of cumin, oregano, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Mrs. Dash…
