Now that I'm back blogging, I realized that I don't know what to cook or to write about. I want to stick with light meals because I do want to get in better shape. The elliptical will help, but I need to get my diet under control. I'm not good at dieting when my food is restricted to the same old thing. So, I pulled out old copies of my favorite cooking magazine,
Cooking Light. I found a few recipes I might like to try, but I thought maybe you guys could help me decide what to choose. Maybe you can even share with me one of your favorite light dishes that I can give a whirl. The recipes I came up with are as follows (they are all linked to the recipe):
Sea Bass with Citrus Salsa I don't know how hard it's going to be to find Sea Bass, though.
Pork Tenderloin, Pear and Cranberry Salad And there are several soups:
Butternut-Leek Bisque (shown above),
Slow Cooker Beef and Sweet Potato Chili,
Easier Chicken Noodle Soup with cheese-filled tortellini, and
Hummus Soup. I wonder about the hummus soup. I love hummus, but as soup, it sounds pretty intense.
If you like Brussel Sprouts I like to steam them until they are REALLY tender, then saute them in olive oil that has some minces garlic and onion...pink Himalyan Sea Salt and fresh ground black pepper. Top with a little freshly grated parmesan cheese if you can handle the extra calories. You can also add some bits of ham or lean bacon if you need more protein. ; )
ReplyDeleteYou know the sea bass has got my vote!!!
