I’ve roasted many vegetables, so why not radishes? They are available year round and are not expensive, either as a snack or a side dish. I’ve provided three different recipes; one with a yogurt dip (I favor this one), another with balsamic vinegar and a third with a citrus vinaigrette to drizzle. All of them … Continue reading
As time goes by I am making more of my own salad dressings, versus using bottled varieties from the grocery store. There is so much flexibility in making your own vinaigrette or salad dressing using preferred ingredients (often healthier) of your choice.

Sheet pan recipes are so convenient and actually fun to make. Pork tenderloin, or “Gentlmen’s Cut” is a great candidate for this type of cooking as well as the three veggies I’ve used (technically, potatoes are a stem vegetable) Then I also love, love balsamic vinegar and rosemary!

This recipe I have adapted courtesy of Guy Fieri. Frequently his recipes are complicated but when I saw this salad I knew I had to try it. Very … Continue reading
One more green bean recipe – obviously this vegetable is a favorite of mine. The addition of feta cheese really pulls all of the flavors together. Another more traditional recipe is Three Bean Salad Three Ways. I also recently took a cooking class and one of the recipes was Grilled Shrimp and Green Bean Salad.
This is a Weight Watcher’s chicken recipe using fresh tomatoes and one of my favorite herbs, rosemary. Normally, rosemary does not overwinter in Michigan, but when I put it right next to the south side of my home it is has come back for 2 years now. So, no more digging it up and bringing … Continue reading
A Weight Watcher’s recipe with three of my favorite ingredients; balsamic vinegar, onions and thyme. Delicious together and another recipe that I have changed just a little. After eating some Krispy Kreme Monkey Bread for breakfast yesterday I needed to be careful of what I had for dinner!
Sweet Vidalia onions and caramel-like balsamic vinegar combine to make a sweet and complex dish and only worth 1 point per serving.
