Black Bean Soup
April 23rd, 2013
There are very few dishes that my husband and I can both eat. He is vegan and tends to eat more on the low carb side for his diabetes. Despite the fact that I’m a vegetarian, I am not a huge vegetable lover and I live for the bread group. So this makes finding common
Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese
March 24th, 2013
Thank goodness for my church’s First Sunday Covered Dish meal! Otherwise I would never have a chance to try out new recipes – like this Slow Cooker Mac and Cheese – since my husband, son and I eat basically the same meals every single day of the week! I first had Slow Cooker Mac and
Corn and Cilantro Salad

 brought in this salad with corn, cilantro and beans. Most of these kinds of salads include raw onion and since I don’t eat onions, I have to pass them up. Luckily, she had "Pin It")
At our office Soup’r Bowl part, my coworker (who also so generously provided me with her to-die-for banana chocolate chip muffin recipe) brought in this salad with corn, cilantro and beans. Most of these kinds of salads include raw onion and since I don’t eat onions, I have to pass them up. Luckily, she had
Kale Chips
January 14th, 2013
I fully realize that I am half a year late for the Kale Chip craze. Sorry for being so 2012. I was gifted some kale from a co-worker’s garden. It sat in a freezer bag in my fridge for nearly 2 weeks before I had enough motivation to use it. Surprisingly it wasn’t slimy or moldy after
Enchilada Soup
January 6th, 2013
Happy New Year! I have a feeling 2013 is going to the best yet. Do you agree? What will you be doing to make 2013 great? Among my many resolutions are to tone up and to post once a week on this blog. Yes, I’ve been gone awhile, but let me rewind, a bit: One
Party Ranch Dip
October 3rd, 2012
Dip and football go together like fireworks on the Fourth of July! And this weekend I served this delicious and super easy dip while we watched football. In the picture is Spicy Buffalo Wheat Thins, but we actually dipped with tri-colored veggie chips. Those veggie chips paired perfectly with the Party Ranch Dip. In fact,
Vegetarian Chili Five Ways
September 11th, 2012
You may already know that Chili Five Ways typically refers to a dish that involves chili, cheese, onions and beans over spaghetti noodles. But that is not exactly the combination of this particular Chili Five Ways. Because the titular recipe is not really a recipe and more like a way to use up some leftovers. I
Black Bean Spread
July 16th, 2012
I try very hard to buy enough groceries for the entire week. To stay on Points, I like to know well in advance what I’m eating for each meal. Not doing so could lead to going over my daily Points – which I only want to do for special, really yummy food. But I recently
Honey Mustard Slow Cooker “Chicken”
July 14th, 2012
Weight Watchers wants you to have two tablespoons of healthy oil per day. I eat at least a quarter of an avocado most days, and I think that counts. But oil – olive, sunflower, canola – can’t do it. Can’t cook with it, can’t dress salads with it. Despite whatever potential benefits exist within it,
Slow Cooker Oatmeal with Fruit
June 5th, 2012
In my quest to find recipes that require little more direction than dump, mix and cook, I ran across a recipe for slow cooker oatmeal. I like oatmeal, but I definitely don’t like cooking it over the stovetop and I especially don’t like microwaving it. Honestly, why does have to make such a mess of
