Healthy Meal: Spicy Shrimp and Bok Choy Noodle Bowl

cooking / 1 Comment

I’ve made this recipe before and actually loved it, but now that I’ve discovered shiritaki noodles I thought I could cut some calories and make it even healthier. However, Daily Plate was having some problems when I tried to put this in, and it originally told me the recipe was 39 calories. I got ridiculously excited, and was disappointed when I came to my senses and realized that wasn’t possible. The server issues went away, and now it’s showing a more appropriate 158 calories. Not bad for a huge serving, but it’s too bad about the glitch because even 158 …

Healthy Super Bowl Snacks

cooking, diet / 3 Comments

With the Superbowl tomorrow, everyone on a diet is dreading a day typically full of chips, beer, and calorie-heavy snacks. There are a ton of articles with healthy recipes (check out Hungry-Girl and Poked and Prodded for some that look great). If you’re going to a party and you’re on a diet, bring your own yummies and try to avoid (or at least minimize) the other stuff. For my Superbowl plans, I’m running in the NYRR Gridiron Classic (4 miler) first thing in the morning. I ran over to NYRR today to pick up my packet/t-shirt, and it was 4.95 …

Healthy Meal: Miso Soup with Shiritaki Noodles and Daikon

cooking / 1 Comment

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I found shirataki noodles at the grocery last night, and I was really excited! I had also found some daikon a week or so ago, so I had been planning on making an Asian soup with it (I usually can’t find daikon, and substitute parsnips, which aren’t quite the same). I figured having both of those ingredients meant it was the perfect time to make this soup. I didn’t follow a recipe – just used what I had on hand – but it came out decently. I forgot to take a picture, but …

Healthy Meal: Mahi Mahi Steak with Mango Salsa and Curry Couscous

cooking / Leave a Comment

This has been in my list of recipes to try for a while, so when Western Beef had mangoes on sale the other day, I picked one up and planned to try this. Fish recipe notes:Because I was grilling on the Foreman, I didn’t put any olive oil on. Just slapped it on the grill, sprinkled some pepper on, and let it go. Easy. Salsa recipe notes:Wow, peeling mango is such a pain! I cut my finger on the peeler because I wasn’t being careful at all, which was unfortunate. For two servings of salsa, I used one mango, 1/2 …

Healthy Meal: Pork Chops with Mushrooms and Asparagus

cooking / 2 Comments

I started out by adapting a Food Network recipe for Pork Chops with Wild Mushrooms, but honestly, I made so many changes that the recipe really isn’t the same. And so I present to you my own quick and easy version. Recipe notes for the asparagus: Preheat your oven to 450. Trim the asparagus (I had about 12 stalks) by holding it in two hands and bending them till they break – this is a foolproof way to get rid of the woody stems at exactly the right spot. Spread them out on a baking sheet, and use a pastry …
