Browned Butter & Caramel Banana Muffins

I'm worn out. I mean bone-tired, physically and mentally. Work has been intense and I'm in dire need of a vacation. So this weekend I just took it easy. I caught up on the first season of Scandal and cooked a little bit.

Tomato Tart Recipe

I really love savory French tarts but I've been trying to really watch my calories lately. So when my new Cooking Light showed up in the mail and I saw a recipe for under 300 calories, I decided to give it a whirl.

Grilled Fish Taco Recipe

I adore fish tacos. I think most people do too, once they try them. They are the perfect summer meal. Light and refreshing, yet still satisfying. Sometimes I make my lazy version of fish tacos with frozen breaded fish.

Caramel Apple-Pear Crisp Recipe

Today, I had some apples and pears that I needed to use up before they started to turn. I decided to make a apple-pear crisp but I really wanted to make it a little more healthy than my usual recipe which has a ton of butter.

Benefits of Green Juice & Green Juice Recipe

If you are like me you've probably been overindulging a bit too much with the holidays. I've really been craving fresh bright foods lately since I'm quite sure my body is trying to tell me something. I mentioned a while back that we'd been juicing and Mr. T. recently restocked us with bushels full of fruits and veggies so that we can back on our healthy track again.

I decided to make green juice for lunch today. I always feel like I'm drinking a cup of chlorophyll when I have green juice. Green juice will give you an energy pick-up after you drink it as well. Turns out drinking green juice is pretty trendy too, as it seems celebrities are using it to detox.

Authentic Greek Stuffed Peppers - Greek Feast

We love Greek food around Casa de Elle Beau. We'll eat it any time, any day and any place (well, as long as it's clean). I'm convinced Mr. T. was Greek in a past life. He's obsessed with Greek food and could literally eat it for every meal.

Reduced-Fat Chicken Marsala Recipe

I'm not a fan of winter. Even though I was born during a blizzard, I have no affinity for anything to do with cold weather. I don't like skiing, snowboarding or even walking outside when it's cold. The one thing I do like about winter is hearty cold-weather food that cheers us all up. (That and big sweaters to cover my food sins.)

Even though it's officially spring, winter seems to be dragging on forever. Last night, I was craving something hearty and warm so I whipped this recipe up. It's quite easy and perfect over some pasta and with a Caesar salad on the side.

Grilled Chicken with Sauteed Mushrooms & Onions Salad (AKA "Man Salad") Recipe

We've been trying to eat salads on the regular at Casa de Elle Beau. But you know how easy it is to run out of salad recipes. One night I got a little creative and put together what I lovingly call "Man Salad". It turned out to a chart topper. Mr. T asked me to make sure I remembered what I did so that it could be repeated. If your man whines or throws a temper tantrum when you try to feed him a salad for dinner, give this one a shot. There's a chance he just might like it!
