- Asparagus with Curry Butter
- Asparagus with Curry Butter was suggested today by EatingWell on Facebook. I've been smelling my new curry plant and wanting to make something curry, so this was perfect timing. Quite delicious; I never knew I liked curry so much. I didn't have any...

- Pecan-Crusted Chicken
- I've been wanting to make Pecan-Crusted Chicken since week 2. Here I am at day 80 and I've finally made it! I don't know why, but something made me feel like this recipe was going to be difficult or time consuming. It was neither! The chipotle gives...

- Baked Tortellini
- I've said it several times; I'm not on a diet, I'm eating well. Tonight's dinner exemplifies that statement. Baked Tortellini is a new family favorite. I will be adding a clove or 2 of minced garlic next time though, because I think that will make...

- Japanese Chicken-Scallion Rice Bowl
- This is what Japanese Chicken-Scallion Rice Bowl looks like before you pour it over the rice. I think that the picture on the Eating Well website might not have included the rice either because if you look at the next picture you'll see a big...

- Not All Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth is Created Equal.
- Since so many EatingWell.com recipes call for Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth (including tonight's dinner, Japanese Chicken-Scallion Rice Bowl ), I figured this is a good tip to share with everyone. Not all Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth is created...

- Star Wars the Clone Wars EatingWell Cake
- This very could be the first ever Star Wars the Clone Wars EatingWell cake ever. The Pineapple Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting was so good on Easter that Gaetano wanted it again for his birthday party. (His actual birthday is the 20th. Yes,...

- Spice-crusted Chicken Breast & Oven Sweet Potato Fries
- Tonight it was a simple dinner, but a really flavorful one - and *very* low calorie too: Spice-crusted Chicken Breast served with Oven Sweet Potato Fries. (We used tenders instead of breasts.) That's all spice; no bread crumbs. The tiny bit of...

- Turkey Cutlets with Sage and Lemon
- Today the wind broke a branch of tangerine sage which I only planted a few days ago. In order to make use of this fragrant herb, I went to EatingWell's website and found a recipe by searching for sage. The only ingredient I didn't have handy was the...

- The EatingWell Taco
- Tonight we had "The EatingWell Taco" -- yes, that's really what it is called. Here's a picture of the meat. Here's the "The EatingWell Taco Shell" that go with The EatingWell Taco recipe. They were fun to make; since I've never...

- Beef & Bean Chile Verde
- Dan made Beef & Bean Chile Verde for dinner tonight! (All I did was peel the garlic for him.) He did a great job. This is a really fast and easy dish. Here's the finished Beef & Bean Chile Verde topped with a little bit of shredded Jack...

- Swirled Cheesecake Brownies
- The hardest part about making these Swirled Cheesecake Brownies is waiting for them to fully cool before cutting them into 24 pieces. I can't take this waiting... I want to taste one now. They smell sooooo good! UPDATE: I couldn't wait any longer....

- Artichoke-Scrambled Eggs Benedict
- The "supporting" ingredient in Artichoke-Scrambled Eggs Benedict (doubled recipe): Artichoke bottoms that were roasted in the oven with extra-virgin olive oil and some dried Greek oregano (on one side only because the Greek oregano is...

- Baked Apple-Cinnamon French Toast
- The first layer of Baked Apple-Cinnamon French Toast is the mixture of bread, spices, and dried apples. (Prepped the night before; it must stay in the fridge for at least 8 hours.) The second layer of Baked Apple-Cinnamon French Toast is 8 slices of...

- Pineapple Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
- 20 slices of Carrot Cake without coconut flakes since several guests don't like 'em. I did add a little coconut cream to give it the flavor since it's a texture thing for those who don't like it. (I made sure to add the equivalent in calories as not...

- Grilled Chicken Tenders with Cilantro Pesto
- Another new chicken recipe success; Grilled Chicken Tenders with Cilantro Pesto (served with Roasted Asparagus & Garlic-Lemon sauce ). If you like Japanese food (like sushi) you'll love this dish. The soy sauce combined with the sesame and...

- More Turkey & Tomato Panini
- We really love the Turkey & Tomato Panini recipe. We've had them several times the last few days. So I figured they deserve more pictures. Dan cut the loaf into (from top to bottom) Dan, Mom & Gaetano size slices. We've gotten more brave...
