Oven “Fries”

Posted on June 23rd, 2008, by Erin

In an attempt to be more healthy around here (let the nightly bicycling begin anew), I hope to post some recipes that are halfway good for you.   Here’s a good alternative to real french fries that actually does work pretty well to replicate the taste and texture.  We had these with turkey burgers (seasoned with [...]

Tandoori Chicken and Phyllo Samosas

Posted on May 11th, 2008, by Erin

Both of these recipes came from this month’s Cooking Light. They are both absolutely wonderful. They are by no means “quick and easy” (the samosas took about 45 minutes, plus baking time, and the chicken takes about 15 minutes of prep followed by a day of marinating…) but the result is well worth [...]

But mostly, its an excuse to make great food and show off my culinary skills to my ever appreciative husband. Tonight, we tackle the French classic, and a light chocolate mousse with fruit [...]

Gnocchi with Chicken Sausage, Bell Pepper, and Fennel

Posted on March 30th, 2008, by Erin

I always love looking though my Cooking Light magazine until I realize that every recipe has about 9,253 ingredients to make up for the fact that it is “light cooking.” Well, most of them, at least. This one did not, and it had sausage, which I love. I was a little apprehensive [...]
