Cooking Healthy For Me

Sometimes you just know.....

2012-05-07T00:07:00.000-04:00

This may come as something of a shock to you. The long and short of it is - This will be my final post with Cooking Healthy For Me.

Blueberry Nutmeg Cake

2012-05-04T00:07:00.000-04:00

When it comes to sweets – Honey Bunny likes them a little less sweet. …and usually with fruit! I’ve discovered that I really, REALLY like them the same way.

Radish Olive Crostini

2012-05-03T00:07:00.000-04:00

I have to say – this might be the biggest flavor “surprise” I’ve had in a while. Not only was this appetizer delicious, it was beautiful, came together quickly and tasted like a dream! ….seriously. ….it was that good. …and I don’t even like radishes!

Gremolata Fingerling Potatoes

2012-05-02T00:07:00.000-04:00

Where Honey Bunny loves corn – I love potatoes! Pretty much any way you make them – I’ll eat it! There’s something about creamy, luscious potatoes.

Corn with Cilantro Lime Salt

2012-05-01T00:07:00.000-04:00

Honey Bunny loves corn! He honestly feels that any recipe, no matter what it is, is better with corn!

So….we eat corn a lot! If it’s not IN something, it usually has a lot of butter on it. Delicious, but not the healthiest option.

Well, I found it....

Avocado Tangerine Salsa

2012-04-30T00:07:00.017-04:00

I get the munchies. What I REALLY want is a quick, easy and healthy snack! ...and part of healthy living is using fresh ingredients. With regards to snacks, sometimes that’s easier said than done….until now! This one is perfect - because I struggle daily with junk food.

One Year Ago.... and a Giveaway!

2012-04-27T00:07:00.000-04:00

In late April 2011, I went to the doctor for a routine visit. She gave me the bad news. I had some health issues that were only going to get worse if I didn’t change my ways….

What was a foodie like me to do?

I love food! If it’s deep fried or dipped in chocolate – I hear the dinner bell ringing! I love to late-night snack! I dream in cotton candy pink!

My Favorite Things Giveaway!

2012-04-26T00:07:00.000-04:00

Do you have favorite things? I know I do! While The Sound of Music IS my favorite movie the list of giveaways isn’t rain, kitten whiskers or brown paper and string!

Blog-o-versary Cake and a Giveaway

2012-04-25T00:07:00.000-04:00

WooHoo! Cake! Yummy, tasty cake! Cake for you and cake for me! I made a blog-o-versary cake, it’s fast, easy and (as far as cakes go) a reasonably healthy recipe! ….but I bet you’re wondering what we’re giving away today, aren’t you?

A Taste of the South Giveaway!

2012-04-24T00:07:00.013-04:00

Well – this is my blog-o-versary week! Last year on the 27^th of April, I hit publish for the first time on Cooking Healthy For Me….

I was super excited to start the week with a guest post from Susan - we had a GREAT time putting it together.

The rest of this week, we’ll have prizes and fun!

The Carnivore's Casserole

2012-04-23T00:07:00.002-04:00

Ooooh, this is GREAT! Hi Everybody! Are we in for a treat! I’m too excited for words! You’re gonna love it! We have a quick and easy healthy recipe for dinner and a surprise!

Asian Marinated Flattened Chicken

2012-04-20T00:07:00.018-04:00

Okay, this chicken is practically a public service announcement!

I gotta start with a short message to the guys reading this – sorry if I embarrass you, sorry if you feel left out, this post really is for chicks. Time to dish it out….

Peanut Butter and Jelly – Improv Challenge

2012-04-19T00:07:00.024-04:00

I was BEYOND excited with this challenge! Peanut butter and I are friends. Jelly and I are friends. Peanut butter and jelly are friends! We are all friends!

Wanna be our friend? Step into the kitchen…there’s always room to feed one more!

Orzo with Avocado and Tomatoes

2012-04-18T00:07:00.011-04:00

So I’m sitting there wanting guacamole and salsa….and chips! Not just a little bit, but a bucket full! Honestly, if there was a swimming pool full of guacamole, I’d jump in and eat my way out. I was jonesing for them that bad! ….but in a lady like way, of course!

Refrigerator Pickles

2012-04-17T07:30:00.003-04:00

Hi everyone! I'm snacking with Dana at The Kitchen Witch. She's currently recovering from surgery and needs a few folks to cook for her. Most would make chicken soup. Me? I make pickles!

Here's a question for you.....

Get in my belly….Strawberry Jelly!

2012-04-16T00:07:00.046-04:00

Strawberries are in season here in Florida and it’s the time of year that I fall in love with the Sunshine State over and over again! The weather is beautiful, the grass is green and there are folks selling strawberries on every street corner!

Brauts and Sauerkraut

2012-04-13T00:07:00.012-04:00

This braut sandwich was SO tasty, SO easy! I know that brauts are notoriously bad for you, but we wanted quick, quick, quick and a bit of grilling goes a long way in my book when it comes to comfort food!

Greek Chicken with Capers, Raisins and Feta

2012-04-12T00:07:00.018-04:00

Have you ever noticed that if something has Feta Cheese in it it’s automatically “Greek”? It makes sense, but it got me thinking….

Steak, Strawberry & Feta Salad

2012-04-11T00:07:00.011-04:00

We just love steak! When things go wrong – for some odd reason – we get hungry and want steak! When things go right, we celebrate by going out for steak!

A Duo of Muffins

2012-04-10T00:07:00.064-04:00

These are the muffins that came close to not happening. This is my tale of woe - pay no attention to the obvious exaggerations!

Strawberry Soup

2012-04-07T19:00:00.002-04:00

Happy Easter! Spring is here and the world is renewing itself with nature’s promise! Flowers are blooming, the weather is lovely …..and strawberries are in season! At least they are here in Florida!

Pasta with Grape Tomatoes

2012-04-06T00:07:00.031-04:00

Here are the last of the fresh tomatoes in my arsenal. Since I am cooking strictly from my pantry – this. is. it. However, I decided to do as the Marines say….Improvise, adapt and overcome!

A Simple Meal

2012-04-05T00:07:00.019-04:00

I love technology! In many ways it has made our lives easier and woe to anyone who tries to take my iPhone out of my rapidly texting, opposable thumbs!

Easy & Tasty....The Sgt. Chesty of Casseroles!

2012-04-04T00:07:00.020-04:00

This casserole is U.G.L.Y. Not just a little bit, either – it’s probably the ugliest thing to come out of my kitchen in a LOOoooOONG time!

I Blame The Carnivore!

2012-04-03T01:30:00.000-04:00

I have to start with a disclaimer: This dish was yummolicious and all parties involved were forgiven. The accused also has NO idea that this is all… his... FAULT!

I'm going to loopy-loopy my way to the truth….

Here I am, innocently sitting in my chair thinking about making something delicious and elaborate for dinner with the staples in my pantry.
