Yup, you always want what you can’t have….and I want sushi….seared tuna, spicy tuna, sushi (yes I am repeating myself). I keep thinking one of these days the pregnancy rules will change and I’ll hear from my Doctor- “oh now you can drink wine and eat sushi and not worry about laying on your back”…
Quick Fix Dinner: Creamy Tomato Soup
If you would’ve asked me if I liked tomato soup before I made this soup for the first time I would have said “no, blech, yuck”. I am pretty sure the only tomato soup I had eaten back in the day was the canned version (when I was younger and as a result almost scared…

20 minute meal: Salad with Seasoned Salmon
Since I talked about the importance of Vitamin D yesterday, today I will share a simple meal with you starring salmon which is naturally high in Vitamin D. I found this pre-seasoned salmon from Costco. We have a hard time finding wild salmon at our local grocery stores and since farm raised salmon is higher…
Turkey Lettuce Wrap Tacos
A lot of you are probably familiar with lettuces wraps from P.F. Changs. They used to be one of our favorite appetizers to order from that restaurant and since I haven’t been there in over a year and a half, I thought it would be fun to make my own lettuce wraps, Mexican style. Yes,…

Holiday Appetizer: Roasted Broccoli & Carrots and Herb Marinated Olives
You know what is great? Roasted vegetables. I love vegetables of any kind, but roasting really takes the flavors to the next level. I think this is a great appetizer in addition to the heavier ones you might find at a party including meat, cheese or starches. Let’s upgrade from the boring raw veggies to…
Holiday Meal Continued: Vegetable Gratin
This side a perfect match for the lamb I posted here yesterday. I love that it is red and green- how festive! It couldn’t be any easier. I actually saw Barefoot Contessa do this on her show. I couldn’t find the actual recipe but it looked so easy that I was able to remember the…

Hearty Vegetable Soup
There was a time that I wasn’t very fond of soup. Just wasn’t interested in them at all. Then I started making my own and realized soup is one of the easiest things to make and I love being able to control the fat and sodium. Sorry folks, but soup is not where I want…
