 Crispy Coconut Chicken with Mango Salsa I let a friend take over my kitchen the other night and he made this. It was so good (and so fit!) that it made it on the blog -- it's the first recipe ever that wasn't entirely developed by yours truly. If you love coconut and mango, and easy weeknight dinners, you will absolutely love this! 1 Comment  Caprese Cordon Bleu I used to love Chicken Cordon Bleu when I was growing up. My mom bought the frozen kind at Costco and we had it for dinner at least once a week. As fancy as it sounds, it's really easy to make, and it tastes even better when you bring fresh ingredients to the table.  Green Eggs & Ham My version of this Dr. Seuss classic is an easy spin on your morning eggs. Serve over whole grain toast or brown rice for a complete meal any time of day. Suggestion: I'd serve this to my friends for brunch!  Spiced Chops with Sweet N' Tangy Mango Chutney All I want to say is YUM! These are easy to make and out-of-this-world good! You can also switch ingredients depending on what you have and what you are in the mood for. Once you try these, try the substitutions in the post!  Simply Poached Egg I'm proud to admit that the egg pictured in this post is my first poached egg, ever! Turns out, it's not as hard as some may think. Once you get the poaching part down, you can put the egg over anything -- toast, an English muffin, steamed asparagus -- you name it! Just go for it!  Crispy Panko Crusted Fish I am seriously obsessed with coconut oil, and have been cooking with it all week. I made this five-minute fish after receiving a care package from Bison Brewing. Excited to try their Honey Basil Ale, I couldn't think of anything better to pair it with than fried fish. The panko absorbs the coconut flavor as it crisps - it's to die for! Smashed sweet potato recipe included!  Curried Chicken Coconut Stir Fry ... for one! The best part about this recipe is not how good it tastes, although it's really delicious, but how quick and easy it is to make. I usually have brown rice leftover in my fridge, so this is the perfect weeknight dinner for me.  Creamy Banana Soup I had this soup at Jacob's at the Hotel Kura Hulanda during a trip to Curacao. I had to ask if by banana they meant what we call bananas or plantains. As it turns out, it was plantains. The server warned me against it because she finds it too sweet. This made me want to try it even more!  Fit Fish Tacos with Chipotle Crema ….and by crema, I mean Greek yogurt. These tacos are healthful, quick, easy and light! It's the perfect weeknight dinner, and fun to entertain with.  Girl's Night Sliders Wouldn't your friends thank you if you treated them to a yummy meal that didn't send them home wishing they hadn't worn their skinny jeans? Here is one idea. I took the ultimate bar food and made it skinny - these sliders are very low in fat, and high in protein and fiber. |  Follow:
