I will go without a lot of things but the one I hate to give up, is dessert. I saw this recipe last week but I've been running the gauntlet with work, family and walking. May I present the so del.icio.us and diggin it,  Strawberry Kiwi Dessert Cups. This looks more like a mini cake than some skimpy cupcake. So walk yourself over and get baking, whoops, no baking just make and eat. My favorite kind of dessert. I have yet to meet a dessert, I didn't like and that didn't like me. Especially the unmentionable one, who lives in the dark and forbidden hinterland of the dangerous underworld - chocolate! Give...

Here's another recipe from the amazing and fabulous ExHotGirl.  This is a vast improvement upon the lasagna recipe I posted a while back from Quick & Healthy Recipes and Ides. (Where I get most of my recipes for the week.) I liked it well enough but it was too thin, and just didn't have enough substance. So, I modified! Jenn's Kick ASS Lasagna 1 large container fat free cottage cheese (small curd) 2 tbsp dried parsley 2 tsp chopped garlic 1 jar spaghetti sauce (I used Prego's heart healthy sundried tomato and vegetable chunk) 1 box whole wheat uncooked lasagna noodles 2 cups...

A supernova is defined at wikipedia as a stellar explosion. Jenn's Oatmeal Supernova is exactly that, an explosion of breakfast goodness. Breakfast is the most important meal of day especially if you're trying to control your weight. I'm one of those strange people that can eat the same thing over and over again and still be happy. For breakfast, I eat blueberry whole grain waffles with peanut butter and honey or regular Quaker Oats oatmeal but no way instant oatmeal holds a candle to Jenn's recipe. Jenn's Oatmeal Supernova, here are the ingredients, please head over to her site for the cooking...

Man, I'm hungry and this sounds awesome. Check out the Three Bean Soup at ExHotGirl. "This one is a vegetarian meal - no chicken or beef stock, and no meat! It's a nice, tasty mild soup. It doesn't have an overwhelming amount of flavor, but was very pleasant and nice on a cold day. :) We omit a few ingredients in ours because Dan hates onions and mustard. I'm sure with those ingredients in the soup, it would be a lot more flavorful." Three-Bean Soup 3 cups water 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes, not drained (low sodium) 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans, drained and rinsed 1 can (15 oz) black-eyed...

This just looked to awesome until... I saw the sign. And I love sushi. Crazy Roll, Salmon Nigiri, Yellowtail Nigiri, and a delicious Unagi (eel) hand roll. Mmm...     I have a rule, avoid anything with the word "dumpster" in the name.  No matter what! Especially sushi places in a strip mall with "F*@^'N Dumpster Plaza on the signage. LOL. MikeZ - "Please pass the bread and the sake"   Make it a double - Okunomatsu Shuzo "Okunomatsu Daiginjo Shizukusake Juhachidai Ihei," Fukushima, please.
