Healthy Meal: Portuguese Sausage and Greens Soup

cooking / 5 Comments

For this weight loss challenge to work, I can’t just exercise; I need to make sure I’m eating healthy as well or all those hours spent in the gym will be for naught. I’m trying to stick to a mostly low-carb diet (I’m still eating plenty of fruits and veggies, but avoiding potatoes, grains, etc). For lunch, I pulled up my Food Network Recipe Box and found a soup recipe I had saved in November 2007 (yeah, I’m about as caught up on my Recipe Box as I am on my Google Reader). Having neither chourico or kale, I substituted …

Healthy Meal: Baked Schnitzel, Braised Cabbage, and Potatoes

cooking / 3 Comments

It’s been forever since I posted healthy recipes, but with a week in New York, I’m getting a week to cook instead of eating out all the time! I’ve been trying hard to avoid high heat cooking and eat more raw foods, but today I had a craving for my favorite meal from Dano’s on Seneca. Dano’s is this incredible Austrian restaurant near Cornell (well, not that close – it’s about forty minutes away) that I loved going to for every special occasion – if you’re ever in the area, I’d highly recommend it. Anyway, I used to get wiener …

Healthy Meal: Chicken Chili

cooking / 5 Comments

This recipe was given to me a few years ago, when I was in college and went over to my friend Tyler’s house for a party. Tyler was a pretty good cook, and had made a whole pot of this chili for us to eat as we drank copious amounts of beer and played Kings. That particular house had a specific rule that if you drew one of the cards (I can’t remember which one now), you were doomed to be the Boxhead – which meant you had a beer case put on your head until the next person drew …

Healthy Meal: Frank and Beans

cooking / 5 Comments

This weekend wasn’t really a good one for me cooking-wise. I was so looking forward to coming back and making yummy food, but I ended up being so busy that I actually didn’t cook almost at all! Thursday night for dinner I made tofu tagine, but I put too much turmeric in and it came out kind of gross looking because it was too yellow, so I didn’t take a picture or post it. Then Friday afternoon I made a quick healthy lunch of a grilled turkey burger patty and peas, but that’s not so much a recipe. Saturday I …

Grilled Pork Chop and Veggie Lentils

cooking / Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning for Easter, my mom made delicious almond biscotti and apple crostada. I helped myself to five of the biscotti (100 cals/each) and one piece of the crostada (250 cals). That was a pretty big breakfast! For lunch, I had just a turkey burger (plain, no bun) and a cup of steamed green beans. That put me just about on track for dinner, with 400 calories to “spend.” Not wanting to buy any food, I decided to make do with what I had in the cupboard, and so I went with this recipe. I had made this before with …
