Crispy Salmon Tacos
This is one of two recipes that I made last week after broiling a big piece of salmon just for moi. The other was a brown rice salmon salad that I will be posting next. With just a few simple, yet very fresh ingredients, this recipe takes your average fish tacos to a whole other level.
The Fit Cook's Pho
I love when recipes come together by accident! I was sauteing some veggies for a frittata and made more than I needed. I put the leftovers in a big white bowl and suddenly imagined them in broth and noodles. Just a few minutes later, dinner was served.
Broiled Barbecue Chicken
I learned this technique from a friend who, at first, made me think he was going to start a fire. And he almost did! After tasting it, I realized it was a delicious way to make delicious "barbecued" chicken, minus the fuss of the grill.
Coconut Chicken & Banana Waffles
It wasn't until recently that I first tried Chicken & Waffles, and O-M-G, did I fall in love. I didn't think it could be easily made at home, much less made healthy. Wrong! Here is a fit twist on the Southern fave.
Chicken Roasted with Cherries
I've been cooking with (and snacking on) cherries for over a week, thanks to the love affair that began with the first bite of a delicious duck braised in cherries, wine and carrots, during my trip to Piemonte in Italy last month. Here's one way I'm enjoying them here at home.
Summer Steak Salad
This salad represents so many things that I loved about Piedmontese food. From the creamiest, most decadent Gorgonzola to the ripest apricot picked straight off the tree, juicy cherries at their peak and veal so tender we ate it raw (not rare, raw!), there are layers of flavor in this salad that take me right back to beautiful Italy.
Crispy Coconut Chicken with Mango Salsa
I let a friend take over my kitchen and he made this. It was so good (and so fit!) that it made it on the blog. If you love coconut and mango, and easy weeknight dinners, you will absolutely love this!
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 at home, and it tastes even better when you bring fresh ingredients to the table.
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.
