So about that eating healthy…

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I flagged this recipe on The Food Network website from Sunny Anderson a few months ago and knew that when the husband and I wanted to indulge, this would be the meal.  Fried fish… big, crusty sourdough rolls… cheesy, creamy pasta. Yum yum yum.

Friday, January 8th, 2010

In my hunt for healthy recipes, I came across a meatloaf recipe that called for ground beef that caught my eye… I knew I could just sub in ground chicken for the beef and make it that much better.  It turned out quite tasty and moist and it satisfied my love of Mexican flavors!
