Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Easy Enchilada Casserole Grab a rotisserie chicken and a few staples that you may already have, and let’s make a super easy dinner. Enchilada casserole is a “Taco Tuesday” staple around here that’s just as good reheated for lunch the next day. Ingredient Tips I typically have Hatch red enchilada sauce in my pantry, but…
Vegetarian Chili
Vegetarian Three Bean Chili Sometimes you want something savory and cozy, but healthy at the same time. Full of protein and fiber, my three bean vegetarian chili was born when I needed a Meatless Monday dinner on a cold night. I added canned tomatoes and beans from our pantry and odds and ends of vegetables…
Honey Hoison Pork Tenderloin
Honey Hoisin Pork Tenderloin Way back in the early 2000s, I was a frequent writer for Cooking Light magazine. Sadly, Cooking Light‘s last magazine issue was December. It was, and will remain, one of my favorite food magazines. Realistic, healthy-ish and full of delicious content. Their food editors tested and retested recipes and always made…

Artichoke Jalapeño Dip
Artichoke Jalapeño Dip This artichoke jalapeño dip falls in the category of “healthyish.” Full of artichoke hearts and pickled jalapeños, it’s creamy enough to feel indulgent. Use water-packed artichoke hearts, not the ones marinated in olive oil. Fresh lemon juice and good quality Parmesan and mayonnaise make a difference. I use Hellman’s or Best Foods,…
