TGIF!! Even though I’m loving my rotation in school food service, I’m still so so so very happy that it’s Friday. So, here are my Friday Favorites for this week. Favorite Fitness Must Have: Garmin Forerunner 910XT with HRM. Ok, calling this $450 fancy watch a “must have” is a bit of a stretch. Maybe [...]
Warming Up with Chinese Noodle Soup
Posted in Food, Run, tagged main dish, meat, pasta, quick and easy, running, soup on Monday, January 23, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Before I went to bed on Friday I checked the weather for Saturday at 8 am. 4°F and an inch or so of fresh snow on the ground. I had an 8 mile run scheduled and I couldn’t decide which was worse: running for 8 miles in the unbearable cold or 8 miles on the [...]
Wok-Stirred Curry-Ginger Chicken with Zucchini
Posted in Food, tagged chicken, main dish, meat on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Trust me, the dish tastes as good as it sounds. And it’s so easy that even little ol’ me, an 8-to-5-employee-turned-dietetic-intern-with-no-spare-time-in-the-world, has time to make it! The complex flavors will blow you away. I was hoping to use this recipe as a main dish for my “theme meal” during my hospital food service rotation, but [...]
Souvlaki

I love meals that Mike and I can work on together. Translation – he can grill. I also love meals that are fairly easy to prep. Souvlaki was just that! I served this with homemade pita bread and some Greek salad for the perfect meal. So, quick, give this meal a try before it gets too [...]
General Tso’s Chicken
Posted in Food, tagged chicken, main dish, meat on Wednesday, September 14, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Problem: Mike loves “Chinese” takeout. My stomach can;t handle the grease. Solution: make it at home. I made it this time with a lightly battered fried chicken, but I think next time I’ll skip the frying all together. It will 1) save time and 2) be just a tad bit healthier. Using low sodium chicken [...]
Chicken Tikka Masala with Naan

I bought a huge tub of plain, non-fat yogurt to use in some dish I planned on making. Then, I couldn’t remember what dish I wanted to make. Does this ever happen to you?? It happens to me way too frequently. I tried to fix this by writing down the meals I have planned on [...]
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Posted in Food, tagged main dish, meat, pork, sandwich, slow cooker on Thursday, August 4, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Folks, I’ve never made pulled pork before in my life. In fact, I’ve probably only eaten it a couple of times. I don’t know why the idea of making pulled pork got stuck in my head, but I’m so glad it did. And I’m so glad I didn’t ignore that little voice, because oh my [...]
Pad Thai

It’s just like take-out. But better. I seriously can’t get enough of this stuff. I never bothered making it at home because I thought Mike hated it. Boy, was I wrong. I’m not sure why I ever thought that, but I tentatively brought up making Pad Thai for dinner and he enthusiastically agreed to it. [...]
Cajun Chicken Pasta

I’ll admit it – I’m kind of absentminded. I make food, take pictures, and forget about them. By them time I find the pictures again, I have a hard time remembering what the dish was and what I put in it. Today, I realized just how many of these dishes go un-posted and now I’m [...]
