This was a decently tasty meal for me just winging it. I didn't like this teriyaki sauce as much as my usual version, but it wasn't bad. The peas were from my CSA box, and I steamed them for about 6 minutes to get them just crisp-tender. ...

This was a very quick and easy light dinner for a rainy evening after a beautiful weekend! The mushrooms can be replaced with fresh, or even omitted if you aren't a fan, but I like the subtle umami flavor that they add.

Another take on low carb burgers - these I made with 85% lean ground beef, similarly seasoned with salt, pepper, and a bit of Worcestershire; each patty about 1/4 lb and 1/2 inch thick; and grilled for about 4 minutes on each side. To go with it, I sauteed ...

Tonight we had a super easy dinner - turkey smoked sausage, roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and scrambled eggs. I've talked about the turkey smoked sausage before, and I just sliced it up and browned it in a skillet. The broccoli and cauliflower I sprayed lightly with olive ...
