Spicy Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

I developed this recipe after looking at about a dozen online recipes for Butternut Squash Soup. My best ideas about cooking come from looking at a bunch of recipes, then putting them aside and going it on my own. This soup is fairly quick and easy to assemble if you roast the squash and carrots … Continue reading

This recipe is fast and easy and full of flavor. I found the foundational recipe on a site called the Defined Dish. The original dish used bison, but I used what I had–turkey burger. I also adjusted the spices to suit my tastes. It can be served for breakfast or dinner. Serves 2 Ingredients 2-3 … Continue reading

Spring Fish Chowder

This recipe originally came from the My Fitness Pal Blog. Of course, I have tweaked it a bit to suit my own taste. It is a quick and easy recipe that is nutritious, high protein, and low cal as well. Takes about a half hour to 45 minutes to prepare. If you keep track of … Continue reading

Yummy Low Cal Protein Bar

Because I am older and regularly exercise, my needs for calcium and protein have increased. So I went online for a search, discarding recipes that didn’t meet my nutritional needs or that were too high in calories. I finally found one on a blog called Haute and Healthy Living. The cool thing is that this … Continue reading

Black Bean Burger

Dan and I avoid eating read meat for the most part. Up to now, we’ve been ordering veggie burgers in restaurants and buying frozen offerings in the grocery store, but I found a recipe on a site called ChinDeep that wasn’t as complicated as most I’ve seen. It contains only 4 ingredients (if you can … Continue reading

Mango Frozen Yogurt

Because I am counting calories these days, desserts are few and far between. This recipe appeals to me because it is only 138 calories for a 1/2 cup serving. It is delicious, easy to make, and doesn’t require an ice cream machine. I made it from costco/kirkland frozen mango. This is made in a food … Continue reading

Turkey Burger Pasty Pie

I bought a pallet load of turkey burger from Costco (just kidding, but a lot). I froze it and normally use it generally for burgers on the grill, meatballs, or white chili–but I wanted something new, so I searched online. This recipe is a hybrid of all the recipes I looked at. The pie is … Continue reading

Garlic Confit with Herbs

I grow garlic in my garden–lots of it, sometimes too much for Dan and I.  The original recipe solved the problem of how to preserve the bulbs in an interesting, tasty, and useful way.  It is a an easy recipe and doesn’t even require peeling the “toes.”  FYI: The word, “confit,” comes from the French … Continue reading

Sriracha-Orange Chicken (slow cooker)

I found this recipe on the site, Cooktop Cove. As usual, I have tweaked it to fit my tastes, increasing the number of chicken thighs and adding salt, pepper, and paprika to the flour coating.  It is a tasty dish with sweet, heat, and sour notes from the marmalade, sriracha, and lime juice.  It is … Continue reading

Sugarless Mango-Lime Sorbet

A friend texted me a rather vague recipe for this dessert.  It is delicious and uses no sugar. It is sweet enough for me, but if you’d like a sweeter dessert, you can add a bit of Stevia. Easy peasy. Sugarless Mango-Lime Sorbet 2-3 large ripe mangoes, peeled and cubed ( you may use frozen … Continue reading
