Salads are some of the best foods to eat during the spring and summer months. Fresh produce and light ingredients go hand-in-hand with warm temperatures and sunshine, and the best salads are filled with both. Whether you’re craving cool crispy veggies or warm grilled chicken, your options for healthy spring
By Meredith Kimelblatt – There’s a common misconception that eating healthy meals is the same thing as eating meals with no substance. But eating a plate full of mostly veggies or fruit at lunch probably won’t satisfy you until dinnertime. In fact, not eating enough at lunch can make you
Chicken salad is a classic recipe that brings back many childhood memories of my beloved Miracle Whip. It was a sad day when I discovered the main ingredient was corn syrup so I try to use it sparingly, if at all. The good news is that plain yogurt has come
“Another key to true happiness lies in the understanding that most of life is ‘everyday.’ Most of our lives consist of a routine – an unremarkable series of events that take place day after day. So if we are going to enjoy every day, we must learn to embrace the
By Jennifer Cote – Valentine’s Day might be coming up, but just the day before that, Lent begins. So… some of us might be considering what to give up, for the 40 days of Lent. Candidates should not be chosen lightly. One year, we gave up flour. That was the
The weekends are a marvelous time to sleep in and stay warm in your bed. What better time to make a Delightsome Breakfast for two to share in your bedroom. We could take our time and put our favorite, romantic movie, ‘Pride and Prejudice’ on – just a few days
Since 1996, I’ve been holding onto a recipe for Lemon Poppy Seed Biscotti that I tore out of the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. We all do it, don’t we? We casually flip through our favorite publications, coffee or tea steaming by our side, and imagine whipping
By Meredith Kimelblatt – Just because Christmas cookie season is over doesn’t mean everyone immediately loses his or her sweet tooth—that would make keeping your New Year’s resolutions way too easy! To hit the perfect balance between satisfying your sweet tooth and keeping yourself in shape this year, there are
Completely You: Food By Hillary Tonken for Completely You – The “Everyday Superfoods” series shows you how to use healthy ingredients to make simple dishes full of flavor. Check out previous articles in the series about kale, oats and beans. Even though it’s considered a whole grain, quinoa (pronounced “keen-wah”) is
By Meredith Kimelblatt – It’s a New Year, and for many people this means a whole new set of healthy-living resolutions. Eating healthy, getting more exercise and starting a diet are three of the most common resolutions out there, but are also all ones that many people give up on
By Jennifer Cote – If your New Year’s Resolutions include healthy eating, make it easy on yourself by packing the freezer with a few emergency meals you can depend on in a fix. It’ll be easier to stick to those resolutions when the stomach’s growling and the clock’s ticking, if
By Meredith Kimebladt – The holiday season is known for a lot of things—crowded malls, cookie exchanges and lots of family time are all popular holiday hallmarks. But when it comes to Christmastime, comfort food tops the list of holiday traditions. From comfort food-filled family dinners to holiday potlucks, good
By Jennifer Cote – When a friend suggested that we make “Scripture Cake” for our church’s Annual Women’s Christmas Dinner, I jumped at the chance to research the subject. Some date this cake back to the late 1700s; a few versions were published in the 1800s. It was also known
Looking for something sweet and seasonal that comes together quickly and tastes great? This cranberry cake fits the bill. My neighbor Polly gave me a slice of this a while back and I could have sworn it had almond paste in the recipe. But no, it’s almond extract and the
By Jennifer Cote – “Frazzled Housewife” is almost becoming a foreign word. With the convenience of fast food and store-bought items that require minimal preparation, we can spend very little time in the kitchen. If a special event comes up, we can call the bakery department of most any grocery
By Kathy Howard – I found this recipe about 20 Thanksgivings ago on the back of a can of Libby’s pumpkin. It’s a family favorite and a holiday tradition. I often double the recipe to give bread to neighbors. I love bread of all kinds. My family’s favorite muffin is
By Jennifer Cote – It seems to come as a package deal with the approaching holidays: Planning menus, arranging dates, organizing parties. One thing I don’t want in that package: A stress-induced frenzy from biting off more than I can chew! So I keep notes of all the best time-saving
The headline is a misnomer. I should have called it Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Sausage and Kale Bread Pudding. But that was a mouthful – granted, it’s a good mouthful, but too long for a title of this recipe. Anyway, it’s that time of year when butternut squash is abundant —
By Jennifer Cote – As I researched “Chicken Alfredo Recipes” online, a common keyword was “Olive Garden Chicken Alfredo Recipe”. Translation: This is the recipe everyone wants. And no wonder—most of the online “Olive Garden” style recipes call for a whole cube of cream cheese (on top of the cream
These appetizers get the award for cuteness. And they taste great too. It’s a simple frittata made with spaghetti and cooked in a mini-muffin tin, then topped with a little pesto and tomato sauce. A friend named Diana found these on the blog “Foodalogue” and offered them at a recent reception.
