One of the things about being on South Beach for so long is that I’ve noticed a definite shift in my tastes. Things that I would never have eaten before (like salmon, for instance), I am eating regularly and enjoying. And although I’m not nearly as daring as some, I have branched out of my… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-openers

Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Well, we’re back to breakfast again. I’ve had time this summer to actually cook breakfast and have discovered some real winners. It’s amazing all the things you can do to dress up eggs! What I love about this recipe is it gives me the feeling of enjoying a breakfast burrito without the tortilla. OLE’ OMELET… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
In the spirit of outdoor cooking, I give you this recipe for awesome ribs. Matt tried grilling ribs for the first time last week, and they were wonderful! I can assure you, this recipe comes with two thumbs up from our kids. Two very greasy, sticky, messy thumbs up. And mom approves this as a… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Living in Texas, I’ve learned to like different kinds of food than I ate growing up. Iced tea, for example. Bar-B-Que. Cobbler – of any kind – with Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream. And of course, Tex Mex. I’ve even learned to apply the techniques and flavors of tex-mex cooking with breakfast! CHILE SCRAMBLE Recipe… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
After you’ve been on the South Beach diet for awhile, you begin to realize two things: 1) you eat a LOT of eggs and salad, and 2) you eat a LOT of eggs and salad. I was always a cereal-for-breakfast kind of girl, so this high-protein, low-carb way of eating has taken some adjusting. Strange… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Summertime always seems to awaken in me a desire to cook a little differently. Light, easy, simple suppers with lots of fresh veggies seem to be our summertime menu. No heavy casseroles, no hot soups or chilis. As we head into summer, I give you this recipe which – incidentally – I served to rave… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Super Summer Suppers!
Cookin’ on the Beach: Souper Soup!
On a recent rainy day, I had a hankerin’ for some soup. But most soups are filled with carbs and sodium and therefore on the “forbidden” list. I decided to try my hand at some homemade soup. If you know me, you know I don’t “do” soup. That’s what Campbell’s is for. So this was… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Souper Soup!
Cookin’ on the Beach: Salad Sensations!
This has got to be the easiest salad ever. And perhaps, one of the most yummy. It comes together so quickly and is truly no-fuss but the dressing is absolutely delish. This is another one I get requests for. SWEET-SOUR LETTUCE SALAD Recipe from Taste of Home Quick Cooking Annual Recipes 1999 Yields: 8 servings… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Salad Sensations!
Cookin’ on the Beach: Salad Sensation!
I’m notorious for trying new recipes. In fact, the running joke at our house is that it doesn’t matter if we like what I’ve made because the chances of us ever having it again are slim to none. While that is a slight exaggeration, it’s not too far from the truth. But I do have… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Salad Sensation!
Cookin’ on the Beach: Is it lunchtime yet?
This month I will treat you to lunch-time recipes! Most of the lunches on South Beach, particularly in Phases 1 and 2, are salads. And believe me, we’ve eaten some pretty yummy – and some not-so-yummy-but-you-choke-it-down-because-you’re-hungry – salads. The trick for us has been to make sure we include protein with the salads to help… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Is it lunchtime yet?
