We’re officially almost finished – recipe #13 in the 15 Healthy Dinners to Start 2015. We eat fish about once a week, and this week the fishmonger had a nice sale on Steelhead Trout. Generally speaking, I prefer Rainbow Trout over Steelhead Trout, but the fishmonger just advised me to treat it more like salmon, and […]

Seeing as how the hubby wasn’t a huge fan of yesterday’s zoodles, I figured I’d make him something a little more hearty for tonight’s 15 Healthy Dinners meal. So today, I served up Southwestern Stuffed Portabellas – mushrooms stuffed with beans, rice, and mexican flavors. These tasty little numbers aren’t the most photogenic meal I’ve […]

Dinner #3 in my “15 Healthy Dinners to Start 2015” series is all about zoodles: noodles made from zucchinis. To make them, you need a “zoodler” like shown above – you can get them for under $10 on Amazon. Making zoodles is pretty simple – you put a zucchini per person through the zoodler, then boil for […]

For the second meal in my 15 Healthy Dinners series, I was stuck with a bit of a quandry: how do I get my meat-and-potatoes loving husband to eat salad for dinner? He sees salad as a side dish at best. The answer? Top it with a meat lollipop that looks straight out of the […]

It’s 2015, and so, like just about everyone else out there, I’m on a diet. Well…maybe not a diet, exactly. I’m not counting anything…points, carbs, calories, or steps…none of that. And I’m not cutting any giant groups of foods from my diet, or insisting that they be served in a “juice” variety. I’m just going […]

Meal planning for two: three tips to reduce food waste

Whitney — Sat, 01 Nov 2014 17:03:28 +0000

Recently I had a conversation with a newly married friend of mine. She and her husband had budgeted $60 a week for groceries for the two of them, but they were finding it hard to stay on track.
