Rhubarb Crisp
Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone! It is rainy, damp, and dreary outside as I write to you, and nearly freezing! I think it may have even been snowing/sleeting earlier today! We have been having EXTREME weather this week. I kid you not, but earlier this week it was 90 degrees! It’s crazy! I guess I should be very thankful for this weather though, since other parts of the country have been hit hard by terrible tornadoes… And this weekend, I think the weather will improve and become a bit more normal for this time of year….. which is the perfect time of year to pick and cook with rhubarb! For…

Fresh Papaya
Hi Everyone! Since I started doing Weight Watchers I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, mostly because they are zero points. They are also a healthy and delicious snack!

Homemade Ranch Dressing
Hi everyone! Tonight I want to share with you a recipe for ranch dressing. Ranch dressing is my Dad’s favorite salad dressing and I have tried time and again to make it for him, but not with the best results. I was stupidly trying to make ranch dressing without buttermilk, because I don’t normally keep it in my kitchen and my Mom doesn’t keep it in hers either. I tried sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, yogurt, and various other combinations of ingredients, with only so-so results. I finally broke down, and tried a recipe with buttermilk, and I am telling you; it is the key ingredient! Totally worth it, and I…

Spicy Orange Beef
So as many of you probably know, I started Weight Watchers last summer and have lost about 31lbs! I still have a little ways to go; but the program really works! The recipe that I am going to blog about tonight is adapted from their new cookbook Turn Up the Flavor. I have to say that so far I have enjoyed the cookbook, and the recipes I have tried all have been good. One recipe that turned out really well is Spicy Orange Beef (Spicy Tangerine Beef in the cookbook), and it is only 4WWPP!! I made some slight modifications and paired it with some jasmine rice for a fabulous…
