Hi! I love skinnytaste.com - one of the best sites I've seen out there for healthy cooking. Gina (the blogmaster) does an amazing job with photo documenting her recipes, and she explains some of the finer points for people like me who are only novice at cooking. I have found that planning out my meals for the week, and…

Just found this group!!
I love skinnytaste because it is real food that I can make for the whole family!! I love the skinny overnight pumpkin oatmeal in a jar. I have been making her pumpkin butter at least once a month since the fall. Not only is it great in the oatmeal but it is so good in greek yogurt with granola. I love the butternut squash…
Awesome Salisbury Steak
This has quickly become a family favorite. I think I have made it six times now. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/01/skinny-salisbury-steak-with-mushroom.html
Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/06/spicy-shrimp-fried-rice.html Let me say first that I love the final results. I will be tweaking it for the future. In the recipe itself, there is some things I found confusing. For instance, the shrimp is supposed to be seasoned with paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder, and cayenne…
Roasted Yellow Squash
Went to the garden and found a perfect squash so I brought it home. I made this and it was so good and not bad on calories. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/08/roasted-yellow-squash.html
Chicken Rollatini
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/chicken-rollatini-with-spinach-alla.html Wow! I highly recommend this one. A little messy to make, but its worth it. I used thin chicken cutlets. I always imagined that something like this would be difficult to roll up, but it was very easy. No toothpicks, just baked them seam side down.…
Sausage Zucchini Boats
YUM! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/07/sausage-stuffed-zucchini-boats.html#more I will be making this again. I am one of those people that loves anything-parmigiana - and of course, putting it on fresh baked italian bread is the only thing I've ever known what to do. But these are really fun, easy to make, and I didn't…

Phillo Dough Taco Salad
I had high hopes for this. http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/2012/02/02/taco-salad-taco-cups/ The first thing I found was that phyllo dough is very flaky and comes apart while you are putting it in the muffin cups. Secondly, the muffin cups I were using were standard size, but were way too small to fit all of the…
Cajun Chicken Pasta
http://www.skinnytaste.com/search?q=cajun+chicken This was absolutely delicious! I have to admit, when I read about the cream cheese mixture as a sauce, I was fairly unsure. When it came time to pour it and the chicken broth on my delicious looking seasoned veggies, I had some cooking anxiety. But it turned out really…
Baked Zucchini Sticks
http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/01/baked-zucchini-sticks-13-pts.html I must have done something a little wrong with this one. The bread crumbs weren't very sticky on the zucchini, so they were a bit messy. But overall, the taste was very good. I bought plain whole wheat bread crumbs instead of flavored (which I couldn't…
