Philly Cheese Steaks on Portobello Mushroom “Buns”
My hubby, who's from Philadelphia, invented the ultimate low-carb sandwich: the Philly Cheese Steak on Portobello Mushroom “Buns”. It is so easy to make – great for the lazy days of summer. You won’t believe how rich, juicy and yummy it is! If you love portobello mushrooms, you will love this sandwich! You just scoop out the gills from the mushroom caps, and broil them a few minutes. Saute up some onions and peppers. Saute some chopped deli roast beef with a little soy sauce, sherry and tomato paste. Top the mushroom/bun tops with slices of provolone cheese, and put them under the broiler … [Continue Reading...]

Vietnamese Slow Cooker Pot Roast
This Vietnamese Slow Cooker Pot Roast was inspired by an article in the Wall Street Journal’s weekend Eating and Drinking section by Andrea Nguyen. The recipe was for a beef stew and the tastes were amazing: lemon grass, star anise, Chinese five-spice powder, fish sauce, ginger, garlic – it’s so well balanced and has so…
Pumpkin Chili
It’s that time of year for all things pumpkin! Fall may be my favorite time of year – the cooler weather, the panorama of color as the leaves change, a hike in the woods with drying leaves underfoot. It’s also when hearty comfort food replaces the lighter fare of summer. And what’s more comforting than…
Shrimp Fra Diavolo over Zoodles
This is a fresh, lower carb take on Shrimp Fra Diavolo. Instead of serving it over pasta, it’s served over zucchini and yellow squash noodles, otherwise known as “zoodles and sqoodles”. Love those silly words! Actually I’m not sure whether the yellow squash noodles should be called sqoodles or yoodles – take your pick! There…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Cooler, less humid days are finally here and winter squashes have started to show up at the market. Their subtly sweet savory flavor just says fall! And there’s nothing like a warming soup on a cool autumn day. The flavors of this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup are on the hearty side with roasted garlic, bacon…
Pork Chops with Red Wine Sauce
I’ve been making versions of this recipe for years. It’s a great simple, don’t feel like a lot of fuss dinner. The pork chops simmer in the red wine sauce for a fairly long time, an hour, but the preparation time is short. And it’s just a hearty, comforting dish. I recommend serving the pork…
Italian Beef Stew
We’re starting to get that cool fall weather that just beckons for a warm, hearty stew. This is an old family favorite Italian Beef Stew recipe that was handed down from my mother-in-law. It is the epitome of comfort food! The beef chuck becomes almost fall apart tender with the long simmer. Lots of onions…
Oven Fried Okra
I got some fresh okra in my produce box this week. I thought I might fry it, but I decided to try doing a healthier, lower calorie oven fry. I was not at all disappointed, and I doubt I’ll ever bother with the mess of deep frying okra again. The oven fried okra came out…
Cauliflower Not Potato Salad
This Cauliflower Salad has all the flavor of potato salad with nowhere near the calories. There’s something about the taste and texture of cauliflower that makes it a great low calorie stand-in for potatoes. You can do it mashed or as we have here: cook it crisp tender and dress it as a salad. The…
Mediterranean Baked Chicken
I love briny olives and they are the star of this Mediterranean Baked Chicken. You can use Kalamata olives, but if you have a grocery store with an olive bar, go and get a mixture of different olives – it will make this even better! This Mediterranean Baked Chicken comes together quickly and tastes so…
Rosemary Balsamic Pork Tenderloin Steaks
These Rosemary Balsamic Pork Tenderloin Steaks are so good! The marinade is simple, but imparts such great flavor! And pounding the tenderloin into steaks makes it super tender. I have to thank my husband for that idea – I never would have thought of it! It works amazingly well! To make the steaks, you pound…
