Living green and eating well on a budget
I love clam chowder! I visited a friend in Boston many years ago and fell in love. I know I will never be able to recreate the chowder I ate there. And I know I would never want to read nutritional information for those recipes either. I have come up with a recipe that still [Read On]
This recipe has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I think I originally found a version of it in a Cooking Light Magazine. The chicken thighs add just the right amount of richness without adding too much fat. This recipe comes together rather quickly, but if you are super pressed for time [Read On]

Nothing goes together better than football and chili! But, life can get boring if you make the same old chili, and your diet can be blown if you eat the wrong chili. I came up with this “healthy” recipe so that I could eat as much as I wanted. This recipe turned out great and [Read On]
Last week I was on vacation and decided to make meals from around the world that I had never made before. Monkey Girl and I headed out the the library and checked out a dozen different cookbooks for inspiration. My father and my husband love to fish, but hate to eat fish (go figure!), so [Read On]
My husband LOVES beer cheese soup! There was a restaurant we went to all the time when we were first dating, and he would always get their beer cheese soup. When we were getting ready to move to New Jersey I tried to con one of the waitresses into giving us the recipe, or at [Read On]
