    There is nothing special about this pie

    It’s apple season here in NYS… it’s not been a great apple season by any stretch because the weather..well has been crap for apples. Srsly dude. But that doesn’t mean I’m not going to make a pie. I adore this pie. There is nothing special about it. Except every time I make it, I’m reminded…

  • Kibbeh-inspired Pot Roast

    I combined my love of Middle Eastern Spices with the traditional pot roast recipe to come up with something mildly spiced but very flavorful. I’ve also substituted white potatoes for sweet potatoes for a little different flavor (and to be more South Beach Diet friendly- sweet potatoes are phase 2 only and are considered a…

  • Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

    Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

    This South Beach Phase Two smoothie is a great way to start the day or a great boost of protein after training. It tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! (without the bread, obviously)

  • Sausage, Escarole and White Beans

    I love to make this on a cold night. It’s warm and satisfying and disgustingly easy to make.

  • Texas Caviar

    This recipe for Texas Caviar was shared by Brie  in the South Beach Diet group on Ravelry. Since not everyone can get on Ravelry, I posted the recipe here with Brie’s permission. This is Brie’s original recipe. I will confess to making this with two 15 ounce cans of black eyed peas. Ingredients 1 pound…

  • Pork Chops with Rainbow Chard

    We got tons of chard with our farm share this year.  We really didn’t know what to do with it.  We came up with this yummy and quick way to use up that chard. You can substitute any braising green but chard is my favorite! For more substance to this for an entree, pump up…

  • Just Can It: Black Bean Soup.

    We have been trying to eat at least one serving of beans a day . Black beans are basically my favorite! They are great because they are a complex carbohydrate and the Doc says they help stabilize blood sugar and do mad good things for your cholesterol levels. Surprisingly, they are high in anti-oxidants, something…
