January 20, 2013 1:04 am in Cabbage, Chicken Tenders, Poultry by BigSurMom from : web

These chicken breasts taste like a good on ya piece of fried chicken, but nary a whisper of oil touched these beauties! We ate this meal at LYFE Restaurant in Palo Alto. It was delicious, and the vegetable side, brussel sprouts, made this an exceptional meal. So, armed with a few facts of how it was prepared I have attempted my version of this low Read more »

But I have found a new appreciation for this lovely green vegetable.Check out my salad recipe that highlights cabbage. I alternate between napa, purple or the stand Read more »

Sweet and bitter. Mango, green apples, arugula and a few walnuts. A great combination of flavors. Sprinkle with a bit of parmesan cheese and toss with a sesame ginger dressing. The dressing a blend of two off-the-shelf bottled dressings, plus a portion of H2O. This makes for a light, tasty, and healthy alternative…Remember, go easy on the walnu Read more »

Breakfast for less than a Buck!

January 5, 2013 6:54 pm in Breakfast, Egg Whites, Featured Posts, Spinach, Vegetables by BigSurMom from : web

Egg whites, frozen spinach, and Herdez salsa. A perfect breakfast and on the cheap! The breakfast provides great protein without the added fat. I do miss the yolk if only for the color it adds. But now I add reds and greens and the egg white omelet comes the life. Even Josh eats this..with nothing on it but a little salt. Cut it into triangles an Read more »

Artichoke Soup

January 17, 2013 4:40 pm in Artichoke, Artichoke Soup, iFatfree Favorites by BigSurMom from : web

I live very close to Castroville, Ca., the artichoke capital of the world, and use them in my recipes all the time. Love their nutty flavor. I add lots of onions, shallots or leeks to most recipes. This really helps to thicken a dish, like my favorite recipe for a good old bowl of soup. Check out the recipe and let me know what you think. Modified Read more »

Mini Blues

Two Bite blueberry muffins, modified. Made this recipe today and served to my family whose palates range vastly. Jack loved them, Josh not so much. Richard, he who never to minces words, said cardboard, sandy and tasteless. So, with such mixed reviews I think I’ll try again. Please let me know what you’d do to improve the flavor.

Found this amazing dish in the January issue of Los Angeles magazine. Chef Jason Neroni calls it Cauliflower “T-Bone.” He tops the dish with a gremolata made with basil, orange peel and olives. Well, didn’t have any basil but had lots of cilantro. So modified the recipe a bit. Delish! Can’t wait to eat at Superba Snack Bar (superbasnackbar. Read more »
