Lemon Parmesan Crusted Tilapia FilletsBut all that exercise does work up an appetite. There's plenty of choices around the lakes, and around Minneapolis in general, for standard summer food. Hotdog stands, and fish fry, burger, and pizza joints. But such foods will eventually defeat the purpose of exercise if eaten on a regular basis. So I often make my own post work out… |

Low Fat Vanilla Pudding with Fresh BlueberriesIf I had to chose, I would say that blueberries are my favorite of the berries. They are the perfect fruit for snaking: small enough to eat by the handfuls, sweet and nutritious. Perfect for watching a movie. Instead of popcorn, I would sometimes have a large bowl of blueberries. And at eighty calories and four grams of fiber per cup,… |

Lamb Dumplings with Tomato SauceWhile when we think of dumplings, the ingredients that usually come to mind are asian inspired, these are filled with an all spice-seasoned lamb and carrot mixture. So for the dipping sauce I am also offering something slightly different: a chunky tomato puree. And if you find that the edges of these dumplings do not have that… |

Lettuce Wraps with Sriracha-Honey BeefPF Chang's restaurant chain undoubtedly has one of the most popular versions of lettuce wraps around. Even though I have had it only once, a very long time ago, it still left an impression. I'm not sure if they created the concept but it's genius; such a simple way to bypass traditional carbohydrate-rich wheat wraps.Lettuce wraps are… |

A Bitters IssueA couple nights ago, I happened across two Trinidadian women (spokespersons for the Angostura Bitters Company) on a cable network news show talking about bitters, more particularly the fact that it had been off the market for a major part of last year. What?! No more bitters? Can that even happen? Apparently, there was an issue on the… |

Compared to all purpose flour, one cup of spelt flour contains 16 grams of protein, 88 grams of carbohydrates, and… |

Stuffed DatesWe broke a record here in Minneapolis this month: the first March in recorded history in which it has not snowed. In fact, it seems that we might be experiencing a mini heat wave. And I'm thrilled! (Implications of global warming apart.)So spring is here with with a bang and with it opportunities or excuses - depending on how you look… |
