I have to be honest, I had a completely different post planned for today but... it just didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. Thankfully, I always have a plan b, c, d, e...
I'm a planner. What can I say?
My desk and home are full of lists, sticky notes, and note pads to keep me organized and as on top of things as I can be. I've even been told that my organization skills can even be a little... intimidating...
Read MoreI love asparagus. I seriously cannot wait for asparagus to come into season every year! Unfortunately, I am the only one under my roof that does enjoy it... as a result, most of my asparagus recipes will be intended for one or two servings.
The idea behind this recipe actually started with my mom a year or two ago. She had mentioned to me about how she had been wrapping roast beef around sautéed asparagus as a healthy sort of snack...

I love a good asian style salad and yet haven't had one in quite a long time.
Many years ago when I was younger and my mother used to by an asian style salad kit. It was very tasty and one of our favorite things to eat along side any asian dish. Most commonly we would eat it with a bowl of hot and sour soup and some spring rolls. Yummy!...

Nearly at every party thrown, there is almost always a plate of prepared sandwiches. Mini subs, silver dollar, tea sandwiches... It doesn't matter which you pick, they are always a hit!
One of my favorite sandwiches is the Italian Grinder. It contains so many of my favorite things. Salami, cheese, peppers... pepperoni, more cheese... Mmm...
But, how can you make something like that light?...
Read MoreWhen I first had the thought to do BLT Lettuce wraps, I was scared that they wouldn't be filling enough or hefty enough to satisfy as a meal. So when I went to work putting these together, I made sure to use some nice big romaine leaves and lots of chunks of tomato as filler.
These were super amazing and oh-so-filling! I even had trouble in getting all three down but they were just so delicious and guilt-free that I felt I owed it to myself and the rest of the world to bully through the last one.
I think the next time that I make these, I'll do two per serving instead and serve along side a bowl of Skinny Tomato Basil Soup!...
