Mashed Cauliflower

Rico was out late the other night (party time!), so I had my friend, Joanna, over for a thrilling night of dinner and Pilates DVDs. After we sufficiently embarrassed ourselves by no longer having the energy to complete a simple DVD which we were doing on advanced 6 months ago, we needed a reward.
Every girl [...]
Living in Sin Burgers
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Beef, Burger on June 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
On our first calm night of living together, Rico and I decided to throw together some burgers on the new fangled, in-home grill my parents gave us. Since we are much fancier than the straight cheeseburger type, we decided we had to do some type of gourmet hamburger. The result of my man’s bovine genius? Shallot [...]
Barefoot Contessa’s Chocolate White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I’m sorry to say this for whomever’s feelings I hurt, but I hate baking from mixes. They never turn out right and barely ever taste edible. I’d much rather slave in the kitchen and earn my praises, than know Betty Crocker did the work for me.
I feel the same way about boxed mixes as I [...]
Sweet Deal Popcorn

I’m a volume addict. I would rather eat 40 cups of broccoli with garlic salt as my daily caloric intake than 6 bags of M&Ms–well mostly because I wouldn’t stop at six. But then again, I don’t know what would happen to my body after 40 cups of broccoli…I’m gonna stop talking about that now. So [...]
Diet Chocolatey Hot Chocolate
Posted in Drinks (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Dessert on June 13, 2009 | 1 Comment »
As we all know from my liquor recipes, I am not the person who prefers to get their calories from a drink. I would rather toss back a medium McDonald’s fries than one of those tiny mocha things at Starbucks. After going through about a million boxes of the Nestle’s diet hot chocolate, I started to realize that [...]

Can I tell you how much I love comments? Can I tell you how much I love comments that ask for recipe ideas even more? Come on people, I write a blog, I like attention! Well here’s a request from Nameeta:
Jess, I have a special request for a hummus sandwich recipe. Any ideas on what I [...]
Life is Peachy
Posted in Drinks (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Alcohol on June 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I am continuously on a search to find alcoholic drinks that are not only low calorie, but tasty. I try to allow my only alcoholic caloric intake to come from the alcohol itself, not the mixers. I was walking home from work the other day (because yes, I actually enjoy the 2 mile walk to [...]
Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Like every other young child in Westchester, I did more community service than I was physically capable of because I was told it was the only way to get into a good college. Now, don’t get me wrong, I definitely enjoyed getting involved in the community, but it’s amazing how hard we would try to show diversity [...]
Grilled Veggies

So all, I am officially domesticated. The lease on my apartment with the girlfriend was up and I am moved in with good old Rico. The lady found herself a job at a firm in New Brunswick, and Rico was generous enough to take my bum self in. My parents, who are quite supportive of both [...]
