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 [...]
I whipped this up together quickly one night when I didn’t really feel like cooking. Served with some creamy noodles (thanks, Lipton in a bag) and some green beans, it was easy and tasty. To cook the beans, I just pushed the finished shrimp to the side and cooked the beans with some seasoned salt [...]

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/2 c. sugar

2 cloves garlic, chopped

I stole this recipe from my newlywed friend Kiija over at Pleasant Eats who stole it from Cooking Light. I did make a few adaptations, and this recipe turned out surprisingly well. We served it up with some peas and pearl onions, and some oven roasted potatoes (with onion soup mix on top. Onions all [...]
Now, don’t get me wrong. This title is not meant to be a knock on this recipe. Regular fish sticks that you buy frozen cannot be as healthy for you as these, which are baked in the oven with a crunchy breading. But fishsticks these are. Delicious, healthy for you fish sticks. The “tangy dressing” [...]

Back when I was a vegetarian (maybe more on that another time) this was one of my favorite dishes. It’s easy, and it is full of flavor. I love to serve it with some Pad Thai from a box (or from the freezer) because I’m too lazy to make real Pad Thai. [...]
