Hope everyone had a great weekend! Last week’s menu went pretty much as planned. Lots of Thanksgiving leftovers and a couple of new recipes that came out great. I had to make a couple of tweaks to the menu based on what was available at the supermarket, and there weren’t really enough leftovers for Sunday dinner, so we had pizza…
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving weekend! My Turkey Day meal went great – a couple of minor glitches, but that’s par for the course for my first time cooking a big holiday meal. I can’t believe it’s over and the holiday season is here. Soon my twin girls will be a year old – now I need to start…
Hope you had a great weekend! Ours was fun with some visits from friends and family, bagel and lox brunch on Saturday, and a birthday celebration for my brother and sister-in-law Sunday night. Getting ready to head out to Fairway for my weekly grocery shop. Hopefully I won’t be in the supermarket every day like I was last week after…
Hurricane Sandy really got in the way of last week’s MPM. Monday night as I was heating up the oven to make roasted broccoli, our power went off. I guess I should have started cooking earlier. Luckily we have gas burners, so I was able to light the stove and sauté the broccoli, and with the residual heat from the…
Happy Monday! I was all set with my menu for the week until Hurricane Sandy became a serious threat. I’m sitting at home right now waiting for the storm to hit and wondering what we’ll do if we lose power. I wasn’t nervous about this storm until everyone else around me seemed to be panicking. I think it’s contagious! I…
Last week’s menu was a success! Planning what we would eat and buying the groceries for the week led me to be able to carry out the plan with few disruptions. Let’s see if this week goes as well! I won’t be doing as much cooking since it’s a bit of a busy week, but here’s what we’ll be having:…
I love the fall – the cool crisp air, the leaves changing colors, and of course the plethora of Nutritioulicious vegetables and fruits that are now in season. One of my favorite class of vegetables is winter squash. Do a search for “squash” on my site and you’ll see a pretty long list of recipes and information about these members…
When clients ask me how they can eat healthier, one of the first tips I give them is to plan ahead. The biggest challenges to heathy eating tend to come when we’re busy and don’t have time to cook or we just grab whatever is most convenient, which isn’t always the best option for our health and waistline. Over the…
Yesterday female butcher Kari Underly shared the best cuts of Kosher beef to use for moist heat cooking, such as braising. In part 2 of the Kosher beef series, Kari explains the best cuts of Kosher beef for grilling and sautéing. Beef shoulder ranch steak. This is a newer cut, and it’s a real gem on the grill. If your…
Beef…it’s what’s for dinner. Remember that tagline? Many people shy away from beef these days because they think it’s the culprit of health problems. While it’s true that you should limit the amount of beef you eat per week, when eaten in moderation, like most other foods I discuss, beef can have a place in your diet. But do you…
