It’s warm here again today!
That means that in approximately 4 minutes people will be wearing bathing suits and I’ll be feeling fat.

Health Kick – Chicken and Rice
12 Thursday Jan 2012
Posted in Food, Healthy Eating, Recipes
It’s supposed to get down to 28F tonight! That’s, like, totally cold for Greenville. It was over 60 degrees last week, so I have high hopes that we’ll be back to warm in a few days.
In the meantime, though, I’m craving all sorts of cozy foods, which are generally NOT on the healthier spectrum of things!
Fish with Hot Sauce Gravy
11 Wednesday Jan 2012
Do you like Tabasco sauce? I do. Actually, I like anything that tastes mildly buffalo-esque and is spicy and tangy and red. Brand has no bearing on my enjoyment, though I know a lot of you probably have a favorite hot sauce.
You can use that one for this recipe. :)
This is a fabulous method for cooking fish, and it’s expandable to make as much as you need! You can use any kind of fish you’d like, but I recommend a white fish that goes well with the flavor of the sauce.

Happy New Year!
We’ve been MIA for a few days because we’ve been busy drinking our faces off and getting ready to both start new jobs!
But, back to the food.
This week I’m going to share with you a few VERY easy Asian recipes that can be mixed and matched to form complete, healthy meals. They’re all healthy, light, and fresh – you’ll love them! Another great feature of this set of recipes is that they use largely the same ingredients, so if you have a few things on hand you can make a ton of easy Asian food all the time!

Fried rice is super delicious and FUN to make at home, but by the time we factor in eggs, oil, carbs, and meat, it can end up pretty heavy!

One of my favorite ways to make fish is this yummy dredged fish with lemon-caper-butter sauce. It’s DELICIOUS, but not overly healthy.
So, to get us back on track after the greatness that I hope your Christmas was, let’s lighten it up a little bit, ok?

Remember awhile ago when I told you about the goat cheese flatbreads that I made for Jay a long time ago that he loves and I love and we all love?
You can read about it here if you haven’t memorized all my recipes yet.
Those flatbreads are fabulous, and can be topped in SO many ways. Here are just a few ideas I have for toppings and calorie reduction that are delicious, simple, and healthy!

Hummus is one of those things that we all know is on lists of healthy foods, and it can be.
It can also be ridiculously salty and filled with olive oil so…be careful there.
Hummus is extremely easy to make and I’d ALWAYS recommend making it yourself instead of trusting delis and grocery stores with your fat, salt, calorie, and chemical intake. Hummus lasts a nice long time, so make a double batch and keep it around for dipping veggies – this is a way better alternative than ranch!

We’re still working on making our Health Kick page full of good food and advice for healthy living, and this is one of my favorite healthy snacks! Popcorn in bulk is CHEAP as all getout, and if you pop it yourself you’re saving tons of salt and calories that you’d find in microwave popcorn bags!
