Healthy Meal: Middle Eastern Chicken Pot and Butter-Nut Couscous

cooking / Leave a Comment

Today I was bored and channel surfing, and I saw that Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute Meals was on Food Network. I have a sentimental fondness for Rachael Ray, because watching her was how I first learned to cook. In fact, a lot of the recipes on this site come from her recipes, though I rarely take the time to watch the episodes. It was fun to once again watch her on TV and then make the meal later that night. Recipe notes:I cut the olive oil in half and used lean chicken breast instead of thighs, both to reduce the …

Healthy Meal: Chicken-Beet Salad Sandwiches with Onions and Goat Cheese

cooking / Leave a Comment

I picked up some beets at the farmer’s market at Lincoln Center, and then went searching for a way to use them other than just plain as a side dish. What I came up with is an adaptation of a recipe I found over at Food Network under a ridiculously cheesy name. I’ve modified it quite a bit, so I’m going to post my own full version of the recipe. Recipe:Take a beet (~85g), peel it, dice it, and boil it for 10-15 mins. Don’t let it get mushy – you want it to be slightly al dente so your …

Healthy Meal: Zuppa Ossa Buco

cooking, running / Leave a Comment

Today’s lunchtime soup is brought to you by the fact that I had ground turkey going bad in my fridge, and this soup called for various ground meats, for which I figured I could substitute turkey. The recipe was supposed to make 4 bowls, and I cut it in half, therefore expecting to get 2 bowls. Instead, I got 3 large bowls of soup. Unfortunate, because last night I alreayd had dinner when I made this, so I was already going to have one extra serving (after bringing 1 for lunch today). Now I have two. It is pretty good, …

Healthy Meal: Apple Chicken Salad Sandwich

cooking / 1 Comment

I know I’ve been really lax about posting healthy meals lately. I’ve eaten out a few times, eaten leftovers other times, and just plain gotten lazy and not written a post the rest of the time! I do have the pictures saved, so expect me to catch up and provide a lot of great meals over the next few days. Today I’m going to start by posting a lunchtime treat from Monday: apple chicken salad on whole wheat mini pita bread. Apologies for the picture sucking; it was taken at my desk with my PDA camera, while trying not to …

Healthy Meal: Sirloin Bourguignonne Burger and Greek Salad

cooking / Leave a Comment

This is one of the first things I “learned how to cook” when I first started cooking. It’s not really cooking, per se; it’s really just grilling and combining a few different ingredients. However, it comes out really good, and the flavors work well together. I paired it with a simple Greek salad. Recipe notes for the burger:I’ve changed this recipe a lot, though I think Food Network may have changed it on their site? I distinctly remember using a whole portobello mushroom and spreading it with mustard, and I swear it was this recipe. Anyway, I used ground turkey …
