Baked Tomatoes~Healthy Recipe

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Barbara said I should share some of my healthy recipes so I will try to remember to do that once in awhile. Some of them I’ve tweaked from other people but here goes. I’ve been having this about every other day and it’s so good. If you’re not working on losing weight, or if your [...]

Works for Me Tip~Cantaloupe

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Who would think that I’d have cantaloupe memories or funnies, much less a tip! But I do. James used to call cantaloupe “cantelopen “. Every time we had cantaloupe when we were kids, my mom would say, “I can’t elope I’m already married.” One time my Grandma made us cantaloupe pie. We couldn’t imagine how [...]

Cheddar Chicken

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

MMM! I picked up a Real Simple Magazine at the thrift store the other day. This recipe was in it and we had it for dinner on Sunday. It’s quite yummy 16 buttery crackers (such as Ritz), crushed (about 3⁄4 cup) 6 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated 1 clove garlic, finely chopped salt and black pepper 4 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts [...]

Black Bean Brownies

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I mentioned these quite awhile ago in my Tellin’ the Truth post. I was proud of myself that I cut them and wrapped them and put them in the freezer to save for later. Now, I’ll admit they sound crazy but they’re not bad. You can slightly tell the texture is a bit “fiber-y” but [...]

Yummy Smoothie

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

James and I enjoy making smoothies. I found a recipe with this idea in a Weight Watchers cookbook. We tweaked it a little. We never measure for smoothies–we just dump stuff in. So, that’s what our recipe will be–adjust to your liking. 1 c. lemonade 1 carton vanilla sugar free yogurt 1/2 can peaches (in [...]

Chicken Enchilada Rice

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

A week or so ago, I threw together a new recipe that turned out really yummy. I put chicken breasts in the crockpot to cook. When they were about an hour or so away from being done, I added the following: *1 can cream of chicken soup and a can of milk *1 can green [...]

Ham and Egg Cups

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

I got this recipe a long while ago from Saralyn in a swap. Today was the 1st time I made it and they’re a hit! 6 slices deli ham 1/2 c. chopped green onions 2 c. shredded cheddar 6 eggs 8 oz sour cream 2 Tb parsley Place each ham slice in a greased muffin [...]

Spanish Rice in the Crockpot

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

The other day, I wanted to experiment to see if I could make Spanish Rice in the crockpot and it worked! Here’s what I did for 4 servings. I think you can just double or triple it. It should work the same. 1 c. raw brown rice 3 c. mixed vegetable juice (like V-8) 1 [...]

Fall Squash~Cheat

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Here’s my works for me today! I enjoy fall squash, but they are a pain to cut in 1/2 and bake. So, I just cheat. Here’s what I do. 1. Wash the outside of the squash with a tiny drop of dish soap. I just put it on my hand and run my hands over [...]
