Coconut and Lime Pork

Are you trying to eat healthier?

I am and I love to make food that is not only healthy but tastes great. I also like to put different meats into lettuce leaves. So when I saw this recipe, it was a no brainer.

Cajun Shrimp Linguine

With summer here - at least the weather seems like summer. Hot! Is it warm where you are? It has been extremely warm here in South Florida. With temperatures so hot, I wanted something light and yummy for dinner. Something with a little spice would also be nice.

How about Cajun Shrimp Linguine?

Easy Bubbly Chicken Parmesan

Do you love Italian? I think my husband could eat Italian every night. He travels to Italy often for work and gets his fill there, but sometimes I just have to make one of his favorite dishes - Chicken Parmesan.

I know that there are many versions of this recipe, so why mine? I am hoping that my version with a little less sauce and slightly crunchy chicken will entice you to try it.

Easy Basil Balsamic Dressing

Do you love salads? Salads are my favorite meal. I could eat salad everyday.

Do you have a favorite salad? I don't think I have a favorite, but most of mine usually involves some kind of chicken.

Don't you just love all of the healthy things you can put on your salad and they are so good for you. And then there is the dressing.

I made salads the other night with some great ingredients:

3+ Ingredient Meatloaf Minis

I was craving meatloaf so when I saw this recipe for meatloaf minis in Food & Family I decided to give it a try. It was an easy recipe and you could make the meatloaf centers any way you want.

Only three ingredients; four if you want to add a filling to the centers. I liked mine plain but my husband preferred BBQ sauce in his.

Easy Chicken Stuffed with String Cheese

Here is a quick and easy meal that is sure to please everyone. Chicken and string cheese, how can you go wrong. I had great ideas about dinner last night, but one thing lead to another and before I knew it, my husband was home from work. I had two chicken breasts and it seemed like everything I wanted to make, I didn't have all the ingredients. I did have string cheese, so that's what I used.

Sorry that these are not the greatest images. My husband, kept saying, "can we eat now?"

Roasted Pork Loin with Pineapple Glaze

We had a few friends over last week and I wanted to make something special. I found this recipe from Marcela Valladolid who is on the Food Network channel.

When I first saw this I was not sure about it, since I am not a big prune fan. My husband is so I knew he would love it. I like to make a recipe as is the first time but sometimes I know I need to modify it. Which was the case here.

Slow Cooker Chicken with Mango, Black Bean and Corn Salsa

If you follow me, you know that I have mango trees and they produce many, many mangoes. It is that time of the year again - mangoes are starting to fall. I picked up about a dozen over the weekend. What can I make? Something with chicken and mangoes!

Green Enchilada Pork Chili

How do you decide if you want to make a particular recipe? Is it the name - decadent chocolate brownies would call my name. Or maybe a picture of a luscious prime rib. I do a little of both.

Mexican Hot Dish

We love Mexican food and when it is easy, that makes it even better. This is a one pan meal. Dump everything into your pan and bake. I also like recipes that are versatile - add ingredients that you like. It is not spicy however.

This is not your "I need a quick 30 minute meal", but make it on a night when you have more time or the weekend since it takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes to bake. Every time I serve this, they ask for the recipe.
