If you don’t like chilis or beer, please walk away immediately, this post is not for you. This is an example of what goodness cooking in liquor can bring to chicken. It was juicy, flavorful, and fell apart like Isaiah Washington’s career. The only substitute for chicken this good on a Monday night would be the [...]

Light and Easy French Toast

I loveeee Easter time. It always reminds me of two things–days off from school and Cadbury eggs. I looveeeeeee Cadbury eggs. They are the future source of world peace. Anyway, whenever I had days off from school, I used to make diet French toast–because I’m obviously mentally incapable of eating anything high calorie without feeling guilty. [...]
Glazed Jerk Pork Tenderloin

We need to talk about something and that something is TGI Fridays. I now officially work right across the street from one and it’s ruining my life. All I can see are happy children enjoying the chicken and fries basket while I’m stuck eating my sandwich on diet bread with carrots. I don’t think you understand how much [...]
Sardines! Little Mommies Loves Them!
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Fish, sardines on March 17, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Since I’ve started a new job, I’ve been super busy and staying later to learn things. Therefore, losing time to cook. Little Mommies decided to swing in with a guest post that I must preface with two statements: Little Mommies likes exclamation points a lot. I do not support the consumption of sardines. That is all. ———————————— [...]

I have a pretty high, undying love for Fresh Direct. They have this sweet section with one click recipes, calorie counts and all. Since I started a new job this week (new suits, two Blackberries, loss of all street cred…), I needed something quick and easy to make. This recipe is delicious, easy, and fast. The [...]
Slow Cooker Spiced Moroccan Chicken

Moroccan food is one of those things I was never really was introduced to until college. There is this awesome restaurant called Nomad in the East Village that has some of the best tagines I’ve ever had. The true pit of doom in Moroccan food is the couscous. It, like rice, can be very high [...]
Deconstructed Egg White Salad Sandwich

Everyone has pet peeves–right? Something that skeeves them out? Mine is cooked egg yolk. Every bone in my body shakes from the smell, taste, just everything. I can take the runny kind, but seeing the cooked yolk can throw me over the edge. Therefore, I have always avoided the wonders of egg salad. I was at [...]
Roasted Broccoli Spears

My lady, she went downtown, she bought some broccoli….. (If you want to know what I’m talking about, start at around 2:40) But anyways, I love broccoli. It may help prevent cancer, caramelizes nicely in the oven, and sops up whatever you throw it in. Plus, it costs 2 extra bucks to get with your Chinese food [...]
