Last night it was a recipe that originated from the NHS Healthy Eating programme that is now, I think, defunct. But it had some great recipes. I made steamed rice to go with the recipe for Healthy Citrus Chicken, but I added a few pineapple chunks. It was a great sweet n sour chicken, better… MORE

Casserole Crazy

Updated: Jan. 14, 2012 5:42 am

I don't usually rely on casseroles night after night, but never made it to the store yesterday for the fresh fish I'd hoped to cook. Instead I had a pound or so of lean ground pork in my refrigerator and an odd assortment of other ingredients. And yes, my college boys are STILL home and always… MORE

What to do with those leftovers!

Monday's Moroccan Chicken was yummy, but as I often do for co-op meals, I cooked too much. I can't stand throwing food away and my kids always complain about having to eat the same thing two nights in a row. The lectures about kids starving all over the world don't seem work and I tire of the… MORE

Moroccan Chicken with Fruit and Olive Topping kicks off the 2012 diet.

Jan. 3, 2012 7:35 am

Updated: Jan. 3, 2012 8:46 am

Like everyone I know, I'm feeling the consequences of overindulgent holiday eating. I don't like to diet and really don't believe in diet plans, however, I need to refocus my attention on the basic healthy eating habits I know to be beneficial. While perusing my cookbooks, I'm looking for… MORE

Austin Cream Poke Pie

Updated: Jan. 12, 2012 4:51 am

I enjoy making Boston Cream Pie, but my refrigerator is full! I don't have room for a layered cake. I also would like something a little bit lighter. So, after looking at a couple of recipe books today (including the JELLO brand cookbook.) I came up with a really refreshing low fat version of… MORE

It's a cliche to make health and food related New Year's resolutions, but here I am: I'm going to cook/eat/play/live healthier this year and help my family to do the same. Brevity being the soul of wit, I'll leave it off here for now. MORE

So I always thought what a hoot it would have been if I'd actually had been able to write a blog back in the good old days when I was a restaurant inspector. I worked in a large city and had a good sized district containing a variety of restaurants, bars, groceries and various… MORE

A call for help: looking for healthy plant-based recipes

Dec. 15, 2011 12:28 pm

Updated: Jan. 13, 2012 8:40 am

My last post closes with a passing observation that I've yet to find a recipe on this site that fits in with my new way of eating. To review: my new way of eating is entirely plant-based foods. This includes things like fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, spices, herbs, and not… MORE

The Holidays! Love em! The Baking! Love it! What to do now? The hardest thing I have found to manage is not the sugar, it is the starches. There are many healthy sugar substitutes out there and I have a couple of favorites. For baking, I buy Stevia… MORE
