I get emails alerting me to different recipes especially from the Food Network. This one comes from Melissa d’Arabian and received 5 stars and 503 reviews. When I saw those numbers I knew I had to try this even though I have a favorite already on my blog. This recipe was different with bacon (yes … Continue reading
This combination of soup and sandwich makes for a very healthy lunch or dinner. I don’t think I have ever used the word “healthy” in any of my 1100+ posts except for when I mention it in a Weight Watcher’s recipe. So, here it goes – a soup loaded with veggies and a sandwich with … Continue reading

Besides shrimps, green beans and gochujang won me over even more – favorite ingredients for sure! I didn’t realize the recipe wanted you to broil the ingredients – well I didn’t like that … Continue reading

I use quality 100 % albacore wild tuna, salt free, no oil or water and when I added my tzatziki sauce it made a heck of a recipe. I have always used good ole … Continue reading
