Chicken and Spring Mix Salad with Spicy Pineapple Dressing by jason kim

We have been meaning to do something light and healthy for a while now after our consecutive (more like week long) meat-eating spree, so we wanted to do some sort of salad that could be filling as well as healthy for you. Lucky for us, we found a great recipe in this month's issue of Cooking Light that not only provided something…

Delicious seasonal vegetables roasted with herbs! A great side dish.

Fresh Garden Salad with Balsamic Marinade by Salad Foodie

A summertime side with plenty of garden vegetables in a pleasant balsamic marinade. Add grilled meat or fish and dessert and dinner is a cinch. Allow 30-60 minutes marinating time before serving (though it can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours if preferred.)

Leftover 2-Bean Stew by Amos Miller

A quick bite using odds & ends was WAY too delicious not to post. Forget 8-bean and even 18-bean soups - 2 cans of beans, a few veggies and a little smoked sausage turned a toss-off dish into a tasty winner! I had no intention when I threw this together to share it with anyone other than a couple of hungry mouths in the kitchen.…

Roasted Butternut Squash by B Innes

To roast butternut squash you can either roast cut in half, cut side down, in a pan with a little water for about 1-1½ hours and then scoop out of the skin or peel, seed, cube and roast for about 30 minutes on high heat. My version uses a light marinade to oil the cubed squash and add a little sweetness. I keep it simple, but feel…

Shallot Herb Grilled Corn by Carolinaheartstrings

My immersion blender came with a small bowl and attachment that allows it to work like a food processor. I love it. It is great for small quantities such as this margarine rub for corn. I had a smidgeon of the mixture left over and used it on a grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!

Cream of Broccoli Soup Without the Cream by Mellie Duffy

This is a soup recipe where 2% low-fat milk is used instead of high fat cream or half & half. I add a bit more flour to help thicken it. It's really satisfying and fills you up!

Crustless Zucchini Pie by Carolinaheartstrings

I use the term “pie” liberally in this recipe. This is not really a pie per say. I did start out thinking I would put this delicious zucchini mixture in a crust, but when it came right down to it, I just couldn’t. I wanted the fresh taste of the vegetables to be the star of the show!

Sweet Potato Nutella Rolls by Carolinaheartstrings

Okay, okay I admit it. I am a Nutella junkie. I have to be very careful and eat it sparingly, but I do, occasionally as a treat and I have to also admit that I generally just eat it on a spoon. Why waste time with some other vehicle for this ooey gooey goodness. I have not delved into the world of baking with Nutella. Until now.…
