I consider chicken the simplest of the proteins. It has a naturally delicious flavor, and all the prep work really is done to supplement taste or add texture. Over my many, many years, I’ve delved into different chicken techniques, but I definitely have a few favorites. Pan to oven cooking of chicken never ceases to [...]

Perfect Fried Eggs
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Breakfast, Eggs on August 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I have a really strange hatred for cooked egg yolk. Hard boiled, scrambled or in an omelet, sometimes I even have problems smelling it. However, I LOVE fried eggs, but only if the middle is perfectly runny. I am often met with disappointment at diners when they flip my eggs, to get rid of the [...]
Southern Imbibing

OK, so this is another drinking post. I was told by my Aunt Lindsay and maybe one or two others that I’ve done too many posts about drinking lately–while Little Mommies also informed me that my zucchini posts were becoming too numerous as well. I’m sorry people, but I really like zucchini, and I really like [...]
Gazpacho
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Soup, Vegetable on August 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
There is nothing like a bowl of gazpacho in the summer. Light, refreshing and minimal calories (This recipe is only about 65 calories a cup!!!), it’s a perfect summer meal or snack. Plus, all the veggies will fill you up to keep you from eating too much other stuff. I suggest making this for parties, [...]
Oven Fried Zucchini, Two Ways
Posted in Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Oven, Squash, Vegetable, Zucchini on August 12, 2009 | 1 Comment »
So, this is a rough week. One of the production guys from the office is on vacation. Therefore, I’m stuck running not only morning and afternoon shifts, but the night shift as well. My inability to engage in any social activities after work led to a promise to myself to only cook things for dinner, during the [...]
Sauteed Broccolini

I bought broccolini. I’m not really sure why, since I have no idea how to cook with it, no idea what it tastes like, and no idea what to do with it. But, alas, I bought it. Yup, there it is. A mix between broccoli and Chinese kale. Still had no idea what to do [...]

“The cheesecake is enough calories for a family dinner of 4!” “No, soup’s in the thousands?” “Oh good, at least the French fries are under 600 calories!” The above statements were the results of the shock and awe spurred from this link: http://calorielab.com/news/2007/07/28/calorie-pusher-comes-to-town-the-cheesecake-factory-hits-rochester/ Yes, this link contains the calorie counts for the Cheesecake Factory menu. Yes, it [...]
Frozen Key Lime Pie (Little Mommies Guest Post)
Posted in Desserts (For The High Cal Right Brain), tagged Dessert, Lime on August 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m gonna let Little Mommies basically take this post over because surprisingly what she wrote is funny. Kidding… Sorta… …No, but really, she’s adorable and everyone should love her and make this pie. Take it away… I’ll try to only interject once or twice. Catch me in italics. ——————————————————————————————————– Jessica has a summer birthday and [...]
