This Skinny Cheesy Vegetable Chowder is a hearty chowder reduces the fat and calories (only 160 per serving) without sacrificing any flavor! Seriously delicious and so easy to make! I have a delicious Cheesy Vegetable Chowder Soup for you today. This soup reminds me of cream of broccoli soup, which I love, but hate all the fat and calories. This soup gives the impression of being creamy and rich, and is filled with delicious flavors. The base of this soup (carrots, celery, onion, and garlic), is the same base that starts off this Tomato Basil Soup and this ...

Crispy Pressed Tofu with Garlic & Mint
You may remember last week when I posted a review for the EZ Tofu Press, and now I am excited to share a tofu recipe with you, and have a giveaway! Ben, the creator of the EZ Tofu Press has been generous to offer a EZ Tofu Press to a reader! I am going to share this delicious recipe with you first, and then at the end of the post give you the details on the giveaway. I was so excited to use my tofu press and found a yummy sounding, yet unconventional recipe to try it out with. I am very used to eating the typical tofu with soy sauce or some Asian sauce alike. ...
Chinese Broccoli & Zucchini
A while back I made a recipe for some Beef and Broccoli (wight watchers recipe), and I noticed that the sauce was delicious. I decided to try it with just some veggies, and it has been the base of all my Chinese food in the last 6 months. The sauce tastes just like any sauce you would get from a Chinese restaurant, but doesn't have all those unknown ingredients. I love being in control of making my own 'take-out', because I know exactly what is in it, and I can make it a lot healthier. This is also such an easy recipe because you can really take any veggies ...
Cheesy Artichoke Bread
I decided to make this bread one day, based on everyone's favorite Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I didn't have any spinach on hand, and I thought that since this 'dip' would be on top of the bread already, having both spinach and artichoke might make it too heavy. Just artichokes would do. This bread is the perfect snack for gameday parties, potlucks, or just to eat on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It's indulgent and super satisfying. I lightened it up a bit, however I still wouldn't call this healthy, by using neufchâtel cheese instead of full fat cream ...
Quinoa & Tomato Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
I was searching for a good recipe for portabella mushroom caps and found a few yummy ideas. Grilled caps, caps stuffed with tomatoes and mozzarella, caps with a balsamic glaze...all kinds of ideas! I was thinking to do the caps stuffed with tomatoes and cheese, but I realized I didn't have all the ingredients. I had started cooking the mushrooms and thought I needed to 'stuff' it with something that was going to be more filling because it was going to be our entire meal...I don't really cook many sides when at home. Immediately I thought of quinoa! I could ...
Cajun Vegetable Pasta
Often when we go out to dinner I see something on the menu like Cajun Pasta. 100% of the time it is Cajun Pasta with Chicken, and usually when I ask for no chicken, it is brought to my attention that the chicken has already been cooked in with the sauce. Major fail. It would be so easy to make the sauce and chicken separately, and substitute something like broccoli or mushrooms in place of the chicken. No dice. Most places are happy to add chicken or meat to anything, but often find it difficult to serve without it. This also reminds me of a ...
