Since it’s balls hot outside in Texas, I’m looking for things to make/eat that don’t require use of the oven. Here’s a salad I found in the August 2009 issue of Parents magazine!
Corn and Edamame Salad
3 ears corn
2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame, cooked and drained
1 tomato, seeded [...]

Slow-Cooker Tex-Mex Chicken
Our house gets ridiculously hot in the summer – it faces west, so it is burning up between 4-9 pm. I’ve decided to use the crockpot more because it emits much less heat than the oven or stove, and also because it’s so much easier to toss stuff into a crockpot!
I made this tonight and [...]

Honey-Mustard BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
We needed something quick and easy to eat (since I am having a root canal Wednesday, I can’t eat too many things). This was *very* good! We’ll probably make it again on our vacation next month.
Honey Mustard BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
3 lb. rotisserie chicken
1 1/2 cups bottle BBQ sauce – basically a whole bottle (I used [...]

Kraft Food & Family – for when I lose the magazine!
This free magazine has got to be one of the coolest things I get in the mail. If you don’t already get it, you definitely need to sign up for it! All of the recipes are available online too, but I like to have a copy in my hands. I’m old fashioned that way.

My chicken salad experiment
Every once in a while, we will have potlucks at work. Mainly because all we do at work is talk about food and new recipes, etc. – and it’s always healthy stuff (ha). I signed up to make chicken salad, originally thinking I would just go to Costco and get the best chicken salad ever [...]

Pork tenderloin
This is the recipe we’ll be trying tonight – I hope it tastes good, I’m a little concerned about the Russian (1000 Island) dressing!

1 (1 ½ lb) pork tenderloin, fat trimmed
Salt and pepper
All purpose flour
2 tbs vegetable oil
8 oz. Russian dressing (or Thousand Island)
¾ cup honey
1 packet of onion soup mix

Beef Tortilla Casserole
I will admit – I have been super lazy this week (sick dog, general laziness, you know how it is) but this looked really good to me. This is in no way healthy, and I don’t even want to know how much sodium I am about to digest, but it sure smells good in the [...]

Pizza Casserole
My sister makes this all the time, so I decided to give it a shot last night. It did not disappoint! I believe it is 6 WW points per serving (of course, you could probably make it healthier or less healthy if you wanted to). Kevin wants to make a BBQ Chicken Pizza Casserole next. [...]
