Easy dinner. We grabbed a couple burritos at Chipotle. I ordered the Vegetarian Burrito with black beans, cilantro-lime rice, grilled veggies, pico de gallo mild salsa, and a heaping scoop of the BEST guacamole (possibly ever… okay maybe top 5). Next time I will order some hot salsa as well to amp up the heat … Continue reading »

Orange Chicken
I’ve got a whole day of food pics today. I’m going to start with dinner and go backwards. As promised in my last post, here is a pic of my new microplane! I used it not one, but two days in a row. Yesterday to grate ginger root, and today to zest a lemon. For dinner, … Continue reading »
Stir-Fry with steak, asparagus, and tri-colored peppers
After this weekend’s indulgences, I opted for some healthier meals today. Tonight I made a stir fry for dinner, using a recipe I found at health.com (yes, it’s called libido-boosting stir-fry; no that is not why I made it – I honestly just thought it sounded good!). While my brown rice was cooking on the … Continue reading »

The dish contains a head of broccoli, sweet red pepper, onion, fresh parsley, ham, and the cheese sauce is skim milk thickened with a … Continue reading »
Tortellini Soup
For tonight’s dinner, Tortellini Soup was on the menu. So, don’t laugh, but I didn’t understand why it was actually called Holiday Tortellini Soup; why “holiday”? But ahhhh, now I see. Check out these colors: Also had a mini loaf of my new fave take ‘n bake breads. Meijer didn’t have any of the Asiago … Continue reading »
Grillin’ and Chillin’
Since we moved into our house last October, we haven’t really had a chance to enjoy our yard and our deck yet. Tonight though, we tried out our new grill for the first time. We thought burgers might be a good place to start! We still don’t have any deck furniture but we made a … Continue reading »
Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Spinach and Couscous with Feta
Tonight I was fending for myself only for dinner, so I cooked myself whatever I wanted…Oh snap! …And apparently what I wanted was a black bean burger and couscous. The definite winner of the meal was the Black Bean Burger. First I sauteed onion, garlic, frozen corn, and cumin in a little EVOO. I then … Continue reading »
