Turkey Wrapped Asparagus
If you’re looking for a quick side-dish, look no further than these turkey-wrapped asparagus. What I love about asparagus is that they taste great and are also an excellent source of folic acid, and vitamins A, B, and C. They are super easy to prepare as well, so definitely give these a try, even on [...]
Tandoori Chicken Salad
If you’re looking for a light, but spicy dinner, this salad should satisfy your palate. It’s got plenty of veggies and the tandoori chicken gives this dish an Indian flare. Tandoori spice mix (or “masala”) can be found primarily at Indian grocery stores, although many regular grocers are starting to carry it as well. Our [...]
Weekday BBQ Turkey & Gouda Panini
My husband, Anil, came up with this fantastic recipe that’s super simple to make and is great for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Toss a salad or serve with some chips to make this into a light, but satisfying meal. Leave out the turkey and add more cheese (or different kinds of cheese) to serve this [...]
Chicken Marsala
Warning – this dish can take a bit longer to prepare than you might like, so I tend not to make it on week days. However, since it is a bit fancier than your average chicken dish, it makes for a great date night, birthday, or other special occasion meal. I like to serve this [...]
Spiked Lemon Pudding
I made this super-easy, no-bake dessert on new year’s eve. If you’re making this for kids, or would like to keep it alcohol-free, feel free to leave out the limoncello. I think my hubs actually preferred it with less of this Italian, lemon-flavored liquor. This recipe would also be great for entertaining, especially with some [...]
Mediterranean Eggplant & Zucchini Lasagna
I love this pasta-less twist on lasagna. It takes a bit of time to make, so may be more appropriate for a weekend dinner, but its heartiness and warmth are sure to satisfy. The fact that it contains a healthy dose of veggies, doesn’t hurt either. Ingredients (for 2-3 people) 1 medium eggplant 1 medium [...]
Spinach and Goat Cheese Pasta
If you like the taste of goat cheese, you’ll love this recipe. If you don’t, you could leave out the goat cheese, or be bold and give it another try . Goat cheese’s creamy texture and strong flavor, combined with spinach and penne, and a glass of red wine might just win you over! Ingredients [...]
Hash browns with Avocado and Fried Egg
One of my favorite meals is brunch. I love coming up with new brunch ideas and particularly like this hearty version of eggs and hash browns. It keeps you full for hours and makes the perfect weekend brunch. Serve with hot coffee or tea. Ingredients (for two people) 4 medium potatoes, or 3.5 cups of [...]
Spicy Asian Soup with Bok Choy
Try this Asian-style veggie soup for a light and healthy lunch or dinner. It’s super comforting, especially in winter. You can easily adjust the salt and spice level by adding more soy sauce or chili oil or paste. Ingredients (for two people) 32 fl. oz of vegetable broth (I like Pacific Natural Foods low sodium [...]
