national pie day
It’s National Pie Day in America. How both very exciting and random that it’s celebrated in the middle of winter. I though that I’d honor the day with a look back at one of my favorite pie posts. Click here to read all about the fabulously tart Lemon Pie with Pecan Crumb Crust. So, what…

Welcome to “Have a Sweet Thursday”. Today we feature a not-so-bad-for-your-waistline Mini Mocha Cheesecake from the current edition of Everyday Food Magazine. Just 174 calories and 2 grams of fat per mini cheesecake. How great is that? What’s their secret to a slimmed down cheesecake? Two things, a smaller portion, of course. And the cream…

After a holiday season of eating lots of sweets, it was more than time to turn towards a healthier and more savory dinner option. This Chicken, Edamame and Noodle Stir-Fry from the September 2007 issue of Everyday Food magazine hit the spot. Not being a huge onion fan, I left the red onion out. I…
