I was hesitant to make this.  First, I was worried it’d be too sweet, and second, I was worried my husband wouldn’t like it. After we had the first bite, my husband said “This is an eleven!”.  I asked what he was talking about, and he said that on a scale of one to ten, [...]

Pasta, salty meat, & cheese…what’s not to love?  This is quick to put together, and tastes like you ordered it at an Italian restaurant.  I used half whole wheat tortellini, and half spinach tortellini.  I love the bright colors! Serve with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and you’re set! Pasta with Prosciutto and Spinach courtesy [...]

It’s a sad day in the Kidd household.  My beloved Viking toaster is… well… toast.  I’d like to thank her for a glorious 5 year run, where she lovingly toasted bread and other items, while looking majestic on the counter top with the word “Viking” smiling back at me.  She happened to be my only [...]

It’s a rainy day here in Chicagoland.  I actually walked my son to school today in the stroller with an umbrella, and then with my little baby girl in the Moby wrap against me.  I thought I was nuts at first (we only had one car today and my husband needed it to haul stuff [...]

I love sushi. I love the beautiful $12 (or more) rolls that come so artfully prepared to your restaurant table or delivered to your door.  I even love the roll made daily at my local Whole Foods market.  I love it all.  I’ve even made my own California rolls which I blogged here. However, I [...]

This is another one of Gina’s remarkable recipes.  I’ll be bringing this to picnics and potlucks this summer!  It’s so easy and so fresh & delicious.  Even my 4 year old liked it!  I ate leftovers for breakfast! I can’t rave about this enough. Gina said that you can make it ahead of time, but [...]

Orange Chicken…. just say it and I think I start to drool.  That ooey gooey deep fried stuff they serve at a local Chinese fast food chain is just to die for.  However, I don’t want to imagine the nutritional content of it. When Melissa D’Arabian did these recipes on her show the other day, [...]

My mother in law came to visit (and help with the baby!) and made us dinner one evening.  As we were going through recipes together to decide what to make, she mentioned this Tuna Quiche.  It was something that I actually didn’t have in my family cookbook. Tuna, cheese, egg, pie crust…. yep, she had [...]

Simple… check.  Healthy… check.  Tasty… check! I need to thank Hungry Girl for this great recipe.  Simple & delicious!  Note that I quadrupled the recipe for 4 chicken breasts. Ranch-O Bacon Chicken serves: 1 (*** multiply for your servings) WW PointsPlus: 4 One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet 1/2 tsp dry ranch [...]
