It's nice and sunny and in the 50s. Today we had a big melt of the 8" of snow we got last week. With the prediction of several days of 60 degree weather, the snow should be gone in no time!

I just made Chicken Prosciutto Tortelloni and broccoli with a reduced-fat alfredo sauce and a little marinara mixed in. It was the first time I have made alfredo (that I can remember) and this reduced-fat version turned out great! It was packaged toretelloni and I just threw the broccoli in...

I just finished watching the 12:30 am replay of the show here. I was bawling like a baby! I was conflicted as to whether or not I should even watch, since I already knew how horrible puppy mills are and knew it would be hard to watch. The part that really got to me was seeing all the animals...

Wow! That's a big family. Good luck with your project!

I want what you're having!! (minus the chowder) I'm a late riser, so all I have had so far is pancakes, but I made them "healthier" with reduced fat and added wheat bran and ground flax seed. I guess I'll have to start thinking about lunch in a couple of hours.....

The salad I have been eating for dinner a couple nights a week lately is: romaine hearts with gorgonzola, craisins and spiced pecans with a raspberry vinagrette dressing. It is SO delicious....hmmmm.....maybe I'll have one tonight.

I started making this bread about a week ago and now I am totally hooked too! I've been making a loaf about every other day. It also works great substituting whole wheat flour for part of the flour. Now I really wish I had another dutch oven so that I could make two loaves at a time!

This is a really good recipe for healthy cookies. I love these. Jinxy Knows Best: Moving Away from Processed Foods

I wasn't thrilled with my dinner tonight. I had some uncured turkey "hot dogs" from the food co-op. I made a pizza crust dough and wrapped them up with cheese and tomato sauce. Found out I HATE uncured turkey hot dogs. On the bright side, the crust tasted delicious! :)

Hmmmm.....does it actually have to be a recipe? Or could it be something new that we made up?

My most used appliance is definitely my Cuisinart toaster oven. I don't use a separate toaster so we often use it just for toast. Also, since there are only two of us, I usually use it for heating leftovers, toasting sandwiches, making garlic bread, etc. I LOOOOVE my toaster oven and I'm sad...

Good luck on your attempts to eat a more healthy diet. Sure, it's more difficult, but the rewards are great! If you still want to bake some goodies, but want to make them fit better into your plan, you can try these healthy baking tips...

That's so funny!!!! Maybe when he gets voted out he could at star in a TV movie about Leif (he could lip-sych!)

I ended up making veggie soup. DH likes V8, but I bought the low-sodium version and he decided that he hated it. SO.....I browned some onions and garlic, threw in the V8, a bag of mixed vegetables, some whole wheat elbows and seasonings - - - VOILA! ...a yummy veggie soup. I also made grilled...

So far today I have had - Breakfast: Banana, toast w/peanut butter and raspberry jam, Lunch: Cuban sandwich from the co-op and some Lite Cheddar Puffs, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie. Not too bad, but I will need to get a bunch of veggies in at dinner! I'm thinking of making a veggie soup.

Wow. Those sound really yummy!

Here in MN there are no baggers and so there is no choice but to do it by myself. When I lived in NJ there were no baggers, but if you didn't bag yourself, then the cashier would bag it for you. I used to HATE HATE HATE it when there was a big line and the person at the front of the line was...

I prefer to bring my own reusable tote bags. They are much sturdier than either paper OR plastic. Once in a while I will forget and get a few plastic bags in the house, and even then it is more bags than I would ever be able to use use up lining small garbage cans, etc.

Caesar dressing is great in wraps - especially if they are chicken based.

Personally, since gnochhi is a bit heavy, I like them with a light marinara sauce with fresh basil. But anway, gnochhi rocks!

That's how I like them too. And if you leave them to sit in the milk and sugar for a bit they start to break down and are extra yummy.

I love my Panasonic bread machine and use it a couple times a week. I both use it to make dough for rolls or pizza crust, but also bake in it at least once a week. The only thing I don't like about mine is that it makes a square-shaped loaf. It IS super easy - basically dump in the...
