Sun Dried Tomatoes with Toasted Goat Cheese
This one is super basic, but yields a very rich tasting and unique appetizer. If I recall correctly, this one goes back to something they were serving at the Belgian Lion before the Coulons closed it, but I’m not sure. (Arguably, this was one of the best restaurants in San Diego county, and I had […]

I’m always on the lookout for new gluten free items at Trader Joe’s for Shani, but unfortunately, a lot of the newer gluten free items are Indian flavors which poses a problem, as the flavors and spices used in Indian cooking don’t work well with her taste buds. (Could she make my cooking life any […]

As the Winter of Soups draws to a close, I wanted to try and squeeze at least one more soup in. It was stormy and cold here today, which made this one an easy sell. Actually, this is really a vegetable soup in disguise! If you’re struggling to get all those servings of veggies in, […]

As Shani and I were transitioning off of the Clean Program diet this year, one of the meals we were anxious to re-introduce into our lives was my Gluten Free BBQ Chicken Salad. If you take a look at the recipe, you’ll notice that it calls for some Ranch dressing. Typically I’ll use the reduced […]

The author Jim Harrison talks about having meals that heal. It’s the whole idea behind comfort food. We like it because it makes us feel better. I, too, believe in the restorative properties of food, not in any log term way; but, for a few minutes at least, a properly crafted meal can make a […]

I don’t know about you, but brown guacamole just puts me off a bit. I know that a little citrus will help keep it green, but I landed on another idea recently. We usually get the Avocado’s Number guac from Trader Joe’s. It has 2 separate plastic containers, and since there is only the 2 […]

This one is so dead easy I hesitate to even add it! Defrost 6 oz. Trader Joe’s Just Grilled Chicken Strips. Cook up the polenta according to the directions. (Did you know that polenta is corn?) Dice the chicken and add it to the polenta. Simple, tasty and a quick meal idea. It’s what we’re […]

This is a pretty quick salad to put together. While it might sound odd at first (Shani had her doubts), all of these ingredients do go well together! I think she was most reluctant about putting BBQ sauce on lettuce. Of the 2 types of BBQ sauce that Trader Joe’s currently has, we definitely prefer […]

At some point back in the late 90’s I woke up an discovered that my life was way out of balance. I was working too much (7 days a week was not uncommon) and I was way overweight. Who knew that eating mini hot dogs wrapped in bacon and dipped in Ranch dressing was bad! […]

This may be a bit long, but if you’ve been on this same journey, I want you to know that I understand what you’re going through or what you’ve been through. So Here’s my story: We were on vacation in Roatan and the lady sitting at the table next to us was trying to order […]
