Alright ladies and gents, it’s time to get real. My absolute favorite holiday is coming up and it’s important that I spend as little on food as possible to have more money to spend on a Halloween costume. Now, as I make the terribly hard decision between being Miley Cyrus or Hannah Montana this year, I came [...]

Almond Butter – Raw
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), Sides (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Almond, Raw Food Diet on October 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The raw diet was definitely a success. It’s amazing how much better I felt on the diet and I really only found myself craving anything non-raw near the end, mostly because I don’t understand life without grilled chicken. It changed my views on processed food and showed me how much food is truly processed. It’s [...]
Watermelon Gazpacho — Raw
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Raw Food Diet, Soup, Tomato, watermelon on October 3, 2010 | 1 Comment »
So far, the raw food diet has been life changing. I have renewed energy, no issues waking up early for the gym, and I am basically never hungry. Yes, every so often I miss the ease of a turkey sandwich, but there are still so many delicious things you can make in such a short [...]
Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry

After going on two vacations and thus, needing a detox, I wanted to make something filling, yet low calorie to bring to work to eat for lunch. Now since I am not famous and do not get to claim “exhaustion” after too many vacations and getting fat from them and then get to hide away in a [...]
Jessica’s Laziest Things — Tomato Sauce
Posted in Main Dishes (For The Low Cal Left Brain), tagged Jessica's Laziest THings, Tomato on September 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I make a lot of things from scratch and I mean a lot. I am very willing to cook real meals to bring to work for lunch, make my own spice blends and the like. However, I have no ability to make tomato sauce. I am a slave to bottled sauce and I am not afraid to [...]
Asian Fusion Turkey Tenderloin

My family dinners growing up were very traditionally Jewish, although the religious portion of our Judaism still remains a mystery. We didn’t really mix things (i.e. the casserole), spice and flavor came from well, spices, and meals were pretty low sodium and cans of any condensed soup were as mysterious as Enrique Iglesias disappearing mole and were [...]
100 Calorie Fettucine Alfredo

No, I’m not kidding. I’ve been deathly afraid of this dish since the first time I saw it made on the Food Network and actually saw the amount of full fat dairy products that went into a single serving. The normal version of this dish should probably be made illegal by the Health Department for [...]
Pork Medallions in a Mushroom Riesling Pan Sauce

I’ve always had a slight fear of any form of “medallion”. I feel that they are the staple on any French or Italian menu and must have a super awesome sauce that I obviously can’t create without spitting out a few crazy French names and pans that cost as much Lindsay Lohan’s lawyers. I had this tenderloin [...]
BBQ Shrimp

The same night Daddy revolted and made himself and Little Mommies a hot dinner of Kasha Varnishkas , he also threw some “shrimp on the barbie”. This is a very basic recipe for grilled shrimp. You can use any size shrimp you like and any basting sauce. They used colossal shrimp since it was for dinner, [...]
Fire Roasted Chicken

There are three very important things that must be in every apartment of mine: honey mustard, good air conditioning (I do not look pretty when overheated) and cans of tomatoes. When I have no idea what to make for dinner, I find it’s pretty easy just to toss said tomatoes onto any form of meat [...]
