This was a simply great, quick dish adapted from Cooking Light. If you catch shrimp on sale, it’s practically frugal as well… The idea for tonight was fire, sun, warmth and brightness. This fit the bill quite well.
1/2 lb fettuccine, cooked to package directions and drained (really, start cooking it as soon as you start [...]
Now, depending on who you are, the picture down there might not look so appetizing. But I promise this was one of the most well received dinners at my house in a long time, and I quickly put it into the category of “company dinners.” Not that we ever have company for dinner (and if [...]

This is another slightly adapted Cooking Light recipe. I really enoyed it, and although my husband was dubious upon seeing that can of creamed corn in a bowl, he came around when it came out of the oven. It was easy, flavorful, and tasted like the corn pudding that you get at Chevy’s.

This is actually called taco soup, but the husband requested the alternate title for giggles. And there it is, honey! Another crock pot dish from A Year of CrockPotting, this came together easily, and was really tasty. We had it with a little bit of sour cream, and some baked corn chips for a relatively [...]
These were a great way to start Sunday morning. I found this recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook, Bridal Edition, which I actually hadn’t cracked open since I received it as a gift over a year ago. Shame on me. I had to modify the recipe a little bit to make it [...]

This recipe comes from Debbie at A Woman of a Certain Age. I found this on my TWD blogroll… not sweets at all, but a healthy way to enjoy spaghetti carbonara! I would probably add some more seasoning, especially salt, to this next time, as I found everything but the crust (with the Parmesan cheese) [...]
Alrighty, I’m back. Sorry for being out of comission there for awhile. Hope I didn’t lose too many people! To make up for being gone so long, I’m going to post for the next four days in a row. Maybe even more, if I start cooking again this weekend.
So, this recipe is a modified Cooking [...]

Happy New Year! Have you guys heard about this apparent tradition of eating black eyed peas on New Years? I have never heard of such a thing… in my house growing up, it was always saurkraut, which is not my thing. I’m pretty sure black eyed peas aren’t my thing either. Maybe refried beans. Do [...]

A Cooking Light recipe. The husband wanted to try out some new vegetarian meals, so this was on the list as something I’ve wanted to try for awhile but hadn’t gotten around to. I thought the tofu could use some extra jazzing up, but it’s tofu so… I’d probably add some black bean paste or [...]

This recipe came from a vegetarian cookbook that apparently includes fish recipes. Wonderful! It’s also totally low fat (including only the fat in the salmon) and surprisingly tasty and filling. I was doubtful at first that it would taste good because it smelled a little… strange but the flavors combined nicely in the oven. Ours [...]
