Mediterranean Pizza
View recipe: Mediterranean PizzaOne of my favorite things about cooking is venturing outside of my comfort zone. There are foods that my tongue simply refuses to acknowledge as tasty such as eggplant and spinach. Luckily for my culinary skills my husband does like those foods, but this isn’t Iron Chef so I season and experiment but never taste.…

Spicy Coconut Moqueca
View recipe: Spicy Coconut MoquecaWhen it comes to TV chefs everyone has their favorites. I’m partial to Rachel Ray mostly because it was her easy and accessible style of cooking that prompted me to change my life by cooking my own meals and becoming more conscious of what I put in my body. Of course Rachel’s portion sizes leave…

Seafood-Shroom Burger
View recipe: Seafood-Shroom BurgerWhen it starts to warm up outside I like to challenge myself to find creative ways to enjoy some of my favorite dishes…but lighter. I’m not much of a red meat eater anyway because some of the things they do to beef, quite frankly, scares the hell out of me. I indulge occasionally but I…

Thanksgiving Light
View recipe: Thanksgiving LightEven though I’m not living in America right now and even if I were, I’ve kind of shunned Thanksgiving, this year I’ve had a craving for some delicious Thanksgiving Dressing and I thought why not do a Turkey Day light?! I’m sure you’re wondering what Thanksgiving has ever done to me to make me shun…

Simple Marinara Sauce
View recipe: Simple Marinara SauceWhen I’m in the mood for something quick and easy, pasta is one of my favorite ‘go to’ dishes. It doesn’t have to be complicated with a multi-ingredient Bolognese or with the precision of the perfect cream sauce. Sometimes it is best to follow the KISS principle: keep it simple stupid. With the right pasta,…

Welsh Rarebit Mac & Cheese
View recipe: Welsh Rarebit Mac & CheeseI don’t really eat macaroni and cheese often, mostly because of all that fatty stuff that goes into and makes it so darned tasty! But when I do get a craving it is definitely NOT for that boxed crap filled with nutrition-less noodles and orange powder…what animal does powdered cheese come from?? Anyway when I…

Spicy Paella
View recipe: Spicy PaellaIt has been awhile since I’ve enjoyed any culinary treats from Spain. The last time I hit up a Spanish restaurant it was in the birthplace of Einstein and unfortunately the food was not as great as its most famous citizen! I didn’t get the paella but my husband did and boy was he disappointed.…

Faux Spaghetti & Sauce
View recipe: Faux Spaghetti & SauceIn my quest to learn about new things or just to try foods I’ve never eaten, I recently stumbled upon spaghetti squash. I’d heard of it but I really hadn’t seen it up close before. So last week I spotted it at the grocery store and targeted it as my next culinary feat. I went…

Beer & Seafood Soup in a Bread Bowl
View recipe: Beer & Seafood Soup in a Bread BowlI wouldn’t say that I lead a sheltered life as a young child but I was a fully grown adult before I had the luxury of eating soup from a bowl made out of bread. I was living in Boston back in 2004 and working hard for John Kerry and sharing a huge coastal house…

Sweet & Savory Bulgur Salad
View recipe: Sweet & Savory Bulgur SaladI am not one of those people who hate salad. Whether it is the lettuce and dressing variety or the pasta variety, I love a good salad. In fact I am such a salad lover that I don’t need lettuce or pasta, and often I forego both when I’m feeling adventurous or simply tired of…
