Here’s a side dish I could seriously eat for dinner. One of those dishes where, if you don’t move the bowl away from me I’m going to keep eating…and eating…until the bowl is absolutely picked clean. Directions: 1. Soak some dried sliced shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of water to rehydrate. 2. Slice a bunch [...]

Tonight I just checked out the Taco Bell website. Did you know that it listed the Fiesta Taco Salad as having 840 calories and 45 grams total fat? Yikes! So much for salads as being healthy. Don’t worry too much. It looks like a big chunk of those numbers come from the shell bowl. The [...]

Soy Miso Chicken

We’ve been eating way too much rice, pasta, and bread lately. Fried rice, rolls, chow mein – the list goes on and on. So for dinner the other night we stuck to white meat chicken over some cucumbers and lettuce. I didn’t even bother to use dressing hoping to eliminate any extra calories/fat from our [...]

In the mood for a mincing marathon? Well it’s not actually that bad, it’s more of a mincing 10K. The hardest part of this recipe is mincing the chicken and removing all of the little straggly pieces of fat stuck to the meat. If you’re kind of anal about it like me, this may take [...]

I usually enjoy regular green salad with dressing from the fridge as much as the next person. But once in a while I get really bored with just the green lettuce and same old dressing. Tonight was one of those nights that I just couldn’t bring myself to have a plain salad…again. So, a delicious [...]

The other evening I went to the market to buy some ground turkey for a dinner I had planned. I was really happy because the paper said it went on sale that day and I’m a sucker for a sale. So I went about my shopping and finally got to the refrigerated meat area and…no [...]

Salmon Skin Salad and Sushi

Lori — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:09:50 +0000

Whenever I go to Yanagi Sushi I have to order one of two things along with my dinner, salmon skin roll or salmon skin salad. If I want to be healthier I order the salad but if I am really hungry, as I often am, I order both. As you can see the salmon skin [...]
