Blame the excellent compost we’ve been making with our NatureMIll indoor electric composter, but we’ve had a bumper crop of zucchini this year. So what to do with it all? Sure there’s zucchini bread, which everyone and their grandma makes. Yes, it’s delicious and you can probably make healthy version of it. However, after winning [...]

My family and I have become obsessed by Top Chef Masters. I’ve stayed up to watch the repeat so often that it’s messed up my morning work out routine. (It’s hard to wake up at 5:30 a.m. when you didn’t go to bed until 11 p.m.) We’ve been rooting for Rick Bayless the most, but [...]

Recently I did a review of Jonny Bowden’s book Healthiest Meals on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What Meals to Eat and Why and his theory that “polymeals” cut the risk of heart disease and boost your overall health. (See my post, Healthy holiday polymeal cooking with the Healthiest Meals on Earth.) A polymeal [...]

I recently attended a meal making cooking class with a group of friends. Basically, it was a Once a Month-Freezer Cooking session combined with a Prepare Your Own Meals store. Our hostess (this was in a private home with a very large kitchen) shopped for the food, chopped the veggies, browned the ground meat, and [...]

This is very close to Cornbread Stuffing with Dried Cranberries recipe from Weight Watchers that I posted back in 2005. I wrote last week that I was going to make it Thanksgiving. Now I’ve changed my mind seeing that this recipe for Sausage, Apple and Cornbread Stuffing has only 2 Weight Watcher POINTS per serving. [...]

Yes you can eat BBQ and lose weight – you just can’t eat a lot of it, drink a six-pack of beer, and indulge in all those fattening sides like coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad and chips. It’s all about portion control and eating your veggies. Everything in moderation, dear reader. Here was my Fourth [...]

Let’s take a jump across the pond for this edition of Food Blog of the Week. The Passionate Cook is blogged by Johanna Wagner, 35, an Austrian based in London. She loves cooking, fine dining and wining, traveling, and hates beetroot (!) and mediocre food. She’s also a member of Slow Food, so obviously practices [...]

Big Bad Dad bagged an antelope last weekend. One of the cool things about his hunting trip was the availability of onsite expert butchering. He said the mobile set up was very professional and super clean. I thought it was especially cool because it was cheaper than taking it "in town" to the butcher shop. [...]

Every slow cooker cookbook I own has variations on the same recipe, but no new ideas. I was getting tired of making the same old slow cooker variations on chili and roasts. Then I came across Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook by Beth Hensperger and Julie Kaufmann. First, I was sold on it because [...]

Thank goodness, I finally found a recipe using ground beef (or in my case ground venison) that wasn’t chili. Nothing against chili. It’s just that we make it too much with all the ground venison we have in the freezer. The recipe, from a Weight Watchers recipe board member, is for beef and eggplant bake. [...]

Here’s a recipe that a woman passed out at my Weight Watchers meeting last Saturday. It’s delicious and oh so healthy. Everyone in your family should enjoy this taco soup though it’s so thick I’d call it a taco stew. Taco Soup (1 cup = 4 Weight Watchers POINTS) Brown 1 lb. very lean chopped meat [...]

We have a huge supply of venison thank to Big Bad Dad’s hunting efforts. I cook it up like beef, except for extra seasoning and fat/oil, since the meat can be gamey and is very lean. I saw this recipe by Lia Mack Huber in the November 2004 issue of Cooking Light. Beef Daube Provencal [...]
