Well, here you have it! This is what my dinner plate looked like last night! So easy, so healthy! Tuna Steak with Green Beans I bought frozen tuna stakes and thawed them. In a pan on medium/high, I sautéed fresh garlic in olive oil I added the steaks and seasoned with salt, pepper and fresh [...]

Here’s a healthy recipe to start your week off on the right foot. I had a soup similar to this at a restaurant the other day. It seemed like an easy thing to make so I decided to give it a try. Not only is it delicious, but I’ve made a huge pot! Over the [...]

I’ve had a few requests from my Canadian readers to address the fact that they don’t carry my favorite brand of Greek Yogurt in Canada. Fage.  So I’ve found a great alternative! I must admit, it’s not as creamy and thick as Fage, but calorie for calorie, ingredient for ingredient, protein for protein it’s on par 100%. The brand is called [...]

I love Caesar salad, but I hate the calories that go along with it! I make a delicious low fat, low calorie Caesar dressing (a recipe which I will share at some point) but sometimes you just want to be able to go to a store and buy a dressing, instead of having to make it. Well, [...]

I wanted to share a discovery with you! It’s this new (well, new for me because I just tried it) great, nutritious bread! You can find it at your local grocery store. I’ve seen it at Metro and Longo’s. The bread is made by Stonemill Bread Company. They make a variety of products, but my choice would be [...]

The very first time I made Meat-loaf,  I messed up big time… and it was delicious! There were two recipes on the same page of a cookbook and I managed to read half of one and half of the other! I have since revamped my recipe for Meat-loaf, but this one steams from my original mistake so [...]

As much as I love to cook, I don’t always feel like it. Especially when I have hardly anything in the house and I can’t bring myself to go to the grocery store after a long day. One of my go-to dishes at a time like this is Tuna Sambal. My husband and I used to frequent a little Indonesian restaurant and [...]

Our bodies need calcium – in my opinion, dairy is the best way to get it. From one glass of non fat milk you can get over 300 mg of calcium! That’s almost 1/3 of your daily requirements! (Which are 1000 mg a day incase you didn’t know.) I am not a doctor, but it is my [...]

I love this recipe because it’s rich in protein and high in calcium. Did you know that your body actually uses the most energy to digest protein? This means you burn more calories digesting protein then you do digesting carbohydrates or fat! And because it takes longer to digest, you stay fuller longer too! Make this the night before and pack two slices for lunch [...]

We’re having company this weekend. As you know, I try not to keep crap in the house that I don’t want to eat- I know if it’s there, I’ll eat it guaranteed. But, I also don’t think it’s fair to assume that company is going to eat the way we eat. I mean, I make yummy [...]
