Do you love to eat???

I love to eat. I love to eat healthy, good, tasty food that is easy to prepare, nutritious and filling. I also know that my friends love to eat because they are always calling asking for easy recipes that they can also prepare! I have created this blog so all my friends can enjoy the easy recipes I have found and share my newly discovered passion for cooking!


I don't claim to be a fancy chef who creates magnificent meals...but I do enjoy finding recipes and trying them out on my ever so willing husband! When possible, I will post accompanying nutritional information.

Feel free to join me on my journey and pass this blog along to all your friends and my future friends. Best wishes for a balanced lifestyle of healthy cooking and joyful eating!!

This week I made two fabulous recipes I found on http://www.hungry-girl.com/

So Fancy Fish Pak

6 oz tilapia

8 thin (or 6 thick) asparagus stalks, tough ends removed

2 slices lemon

1 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread

1/2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley

1/2 tsp. crushed garlic

1/8 tsp salt

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl mix together butter, parsley, garlic and salt to form a thick paste. Set aside. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil in front of you. Line up the stalks side by side (like a raft) in the center of the foil. Lay the fish on top of the asparagus. Spread the butter mixture evenly over the fish, and top with the lemon slices. Fold and seal the top and bottom edges of the foil, and then the side edges, to create a well sealed packet. Place packet on baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until asparagus is tender and fish is cooked through. Allow packet to cool for a few minutes, and then cut to release steam before opening completely. Makes 1 serving

Strawberry Margarita Mousse

1 large (8 serving) pkg. JELL-O Sugar Free Strawberry Gelatin Dessert Mix

2 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries, mostly thawed

1 1/2 cups Cool Whip Free, thawed

1 cup cold Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon lime soda)

1/4 cup plus 1 tsp (2 1/2 oz) tequila

3 tbsp. lime juice

Directions: In medium-large bowl, combine gelatin mix with 1 cup boiling water, and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Set aside. In a blender, combine strawberries, soda, tequila, and lime juice. Puree until smooth. Add this mixture to the bowl with the gelatin mixture and stir thoroughly. Refrigerate for 45 minutes until slightly thickened but not set. (Do not over refrigerate). Using electric mixture, blend in the Cool Whip. Once mixture appears mostly blended, use a spoon to mix it up from the bottom. If needed, continue mixing until uniform. refrigerate for a least 2 hours, until mostly firm.
