I love to remake many of the recipes at California Pizza Kitchen. This skinny remake isn’t on their menu anymore but comes from one of their cookbooks. Chicken Caesar salad is very popular. Placing it on top of a pizza makes it a sensational, hearty, salad meal. This version is so much skinnier since I’m [...]
Just one squeeze of a lemon contains a whopping 45% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin C! Squeeze some into your water glass, add a slice to your tea or soda or drizzle over salads and veggies. Besides immunity-boosting vitamin C, lemon also contains calcium, magnesium and potassium.
Looking for an easy dessert to make? Well, your search is over. This is one of my “no time to bake cakes” since I’m starting with a cake mix. It’s all the other ingredients I’m adding that makes this cake skinny compared to a regular cake. And, it’s really yummy. The skinny for each slice, [...]
This skinny breakfast or brunch treat is fun to make, easy to prepare and very decadent. The addition of cream cheese, jam and strawberries takes this French toast to a whole new level. You’ll save a ton of calories and fat by using reduced-fat cream cheese, reduced sugar preserves and egg whites. The skinny for [...]
Should you warm up or stretch before you walk? Most people think they should stretch and then walk. But, Prevention Magazine says the best warm-up is simply 5-10 minutes of slower walking. It preps your whole body. Save the stretching for the end of your walk when your muscles and joints are loose. Try to [...]
Bulk mushrooms can be hard to use before they spoil but I’ve found they freeze well. First, rinse and clean the mushrooms with a moist paper towel, cut off the stems and slice them. Next, freeze the slices in a single layer on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet. Finally, transfer the frozen slices to freezer [...]
When making pasta, bring the water to a full, rolling boil before adding the pasta. One of the prime causes for pasta sticking together is that the water has not yet come to a full boil. When you add pasta to water that has not yet reached the boiling point, it releases natural starches, which [...]
Huevos Rancheros is a classic Mexican dish consisting of fried eggs covered with salsa, beans and cheese all served on fried tortilla’s. It’s a menu favorite at diners, sit-down restaurants and fast food joints throughout the western states. What makes my recipe skinny is using scrambled egg whites, a small amount of reduced-fat cheese and [...]
Here’s the new skinny on storing spices. The email you received and the original post on my Facebook Page was incorrect. Happily the shelf life of most spices is several years, not 6 months!!! To insure the best quality for your recipes, write the date on the containers when you open them. You’ll never have [...]
This fabulous, hearty, fiber rich soup is my very favorite split pea soup! It’s chock full of healthful ingredients such as green peas, pearl barley, carrots and onions. To keep it skinny, I’m using lean chunks of ham but adding them after the soup is cooked. This popular soup is usually cooked with a fatty [...]
