Healthy Meal: Emeril’s Shrimp Scampi

I was trying to post something light because I know so many of us overindulged on Christmas. However, this recipe actually ended up being a bit heavy because it involved a) pasta b) shrimp and c) oil. Not necessarily a diet recipe, though it’s also not terrible for you. Fortunately, I went running today (NINE miles. Yes, NINE. I’m so proud of myself), so I’ve really earned some more calories to eat (even though I don’t generally make a practice of that). But really, if I don’t eat anything else with the pasta (maybe just some steamed veggies), I’m where …

Healthy Meal: Holiday Strata and Fresh Winter Fruit with Creamy Poppyseed Dressing

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! 🙂 I forgot to take pics of my Christmas Eve dinner, but I have some yummy brunch recipes coming up – holiday strata and fresh winter fruit with creamy poppyseed dressing. Both were absolutely delicious, and pretty filling, but still on the lighter side for brunch. Good thing, since I ate quite a few treats the night before! Strata recipe notes: First, I cut the recipe in half – it still made 6 decent-sized servings. I used olive oil to saute the mushrooms, just because I didn’t look at the recipe when I started …

Healthy Meal: Super Tuscan Burgers and Potato Salad

Tonight I’m back in the swing of things with some burgers and potato salad. I know, not your typical dinner OR your typical winter food (more of a summertime picnic lunch), but it was good and a delicious way to use up the ground turkey that I had. Sorry for the picture sucking. Tomorrow I’m going to buy brighter lightbulbs for our living room so I can take pictures without the flash and they hopefully won’t be too dark. Recipe notes:I made this recipe without many changes for nutrition, which is why it’s a bit higher-cal than usual (I still …

Healthy Meal: Spanakopita Chicken Meatballs with Spicy Cucumber and Yogurt Sauce

Work has been a bit busy the past few days, but it’s finally the weekend and I am on vacation until Wednesday!!! Hurray. I’m heading out to celebrate with a few friends, so I wanted to make a fairly light dinner but something that was still filling so I wouldn’t want as much cider 🙂 This is one of my old favorites that I pulled out. Apologies for the dark pictures; I really need to get some better lighting in my living room. As you can see, I paired the meatballs/sauce with a nice Greek salad. The ingredients for that …

Healthy Meal: Minestrone alla Genovese and Panini con Rucola e Prosciutto

Tonight’s dinner I was kind of concerned about. It’s a two-part dinner, and I checked out the calories before I made it. The soup alone was 690, and I was sure that the grilled ham and cheese would add a ton! However, I was really hungry, and decided to make both anyway. I tried to take the pictures with no flash, but I think they came out worse than with the flash. Our living room just isn’t bright enough for photography, unfortunately. But see how I got all artistic and put dots of pesto on the sandwich plate? 🙂 Recipe …
