Roasted Cauliflower and Pasta

I have Spring fever!  Who else is with me?  If you live in a warm area, I’m super jealous because Spring isn’t showing any signs of arriving where I live. The stores are in full swing with their pastel and floral lines, even including bathing suites (but let’s not go there right now) and it’s got me anxious to get my Spring fashion groove on.  However, I can’t exactly wear a light weight mint colored blouse when it’s 21 degrees F.  Dang, that’s cold. I’m also craving Spring-y foods, like fresh herbs, fruits, and veggies (which are hard to come by in CT at this time …

French Fry Salad

I had my youngest sister in mind when I created this salad. One day my sister and I had a conversation about salads.  I have no idea how we even got on the topic.  Anyway, we said that everyone knows that a salad is supposed to be healthy.  Therefore we concluded that you could put whatever you wanted on it and the entire plate of food would still all healthy.  Let’s add ice cream, doughnuts, and cookies!  Yes, in our minds, if it’s on a bed of lettuce, all that junk food instantly becomes healthy.  😉  Unfortunately, we both know that’s not …

Cherry and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who likes to make holiday themed goodies?  I do. I’m sad that the Christmas season has passed because that means that I don’t have an excuse to make dozens and dozens of cookies.  Hmm…  or do I?  I have a cool idea.  Valentine’s Day is a holiday, and it’s even still cold out so the hot oven won’t make the kitchen unnecessarily warm, and it’s even right around the corner! I just bought this sweet heart printed blouse, these cute heart pajamas, and I painted my finger nails with red polish with gold sparkles.  It’s not that far fetched that I’m …

Healthy Taco Bowl

Tacos are awesome.  It’s just that simple. There are roughly a bazillion ways to make a taco.  (Yes, “bazillion” is a technical term.)  You can go balls to the wall on calories and toppings.  You can make it vegetarian.  You can even do a non-Mexican take on a taco (which I love but I admit that always plays with my mind a little). Today I chose to enjoy tacos in a healthy and a lazy way.  By lazy, I mean, I simply threw all of the ingredients into a bowl (or actually a plate) instead of taking the time to make individual taco shell style …

BLT Egg Bagel Sandwiches

Breakfasts on the weekend are calorie free, right? I’m all about the bacon, about the bacon, about the bacon.  Can you hearing me singing that to this tune?  What a catchy song.  😉 I briefly considered all the fatty bacon and loads of carbs in the bagel.  However, I had a craving for bacon.  Can you believe it?  I rarely crave bacon or in fact any kind of meat.  Of course, I needed to satisfy my craving and the first thing that came to my mind was a BLT. Then I thought it would be cool to have a BLT for breakfast and adding …
