Skinny Mexican Corn Salad
When I first saw this recipe, it reminded me of the corn that my friend introduced me to in Brooklyn. We hit up a newish/upscale Mexican Restaurant and she raved about their amazing corn with chili powder and cheese. I was skeptical (mainly because it involved a mayo sauce, and I am not a huge fan of corn to begin with), but I decided to give it a try anyway. I was blow away by the flavors coming together, and how perfect everything blended. Flash forward 3 years later, this corn is popping up everywhere, and I hear people talking about it all the time! Recently I ...
Crock Pot Thai Peanut Pork
This slow cooker recipe is a staple for my bosses. I make it a couple times a month, so I think it's a big hit. Even the kids liked this one! It is easy to throw together in the morning in the crock pot, and by the later afternoon the house is smelling delicious. It is truly one of those all day long crock pot recipes, so if you don't have a crock pot that has a timer on it this is perfect. It takes 8-9 hours to cook. I think this recipe over rice or quinoa would be really tasty, or a nice side veggie like roasted carrots would be ...
Linguine in Tex-Mex Pepper Cream Sauce
This is a super quick and easy meal to throw together. You probably have a lot of the ingredients already, which make it cheap too! You can throw most of the ingredients (ok not the pasta) into the food processor and save yourself a lot of prep time. The taste in this recipe came together very nicely. The original recipe called for pumpkin seeds as a garnish, but since they didn't carry them at my local grocery store I opted to leave those off. It may have been a nice addition, but without them the recipe did not feel like it was missing anything. Also, since I ...
Low Carb Crab Cakes with Mustard Sauce
Did you know that carb and crab are essentially the same word? Usually crab cakes are loaded with bread crumbs, which make them a higher carb dish, but this recipe does not have bread crumbs, making it lower carb. The mixture seems very loose when you first mix it, and it seems like the cakes will fall apart when you put them in the pan, but if you get the pan pretty hot before you add the cakes, they stay together and crisp up very nicely. They are accompanied by a mustard sauce as well. I think these crab cakes would be as an appetizer to be served at a party, or even ...
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 ...
