Grilled Mexican Chicken Sandwich
Grilled Mexican Chicken Sandwich This is more of a ‘putting it all together’ dish versus a recipe because I’m using several recipes to put together this incredibly delicious chicken sandwich (some may even call it a chicken burger). This would also go well with my yummy Whole Wheat Brioche Burger Buns but alas, this time I went with ...
Chicken Burrito
Before announcing I was pregnant with my daughter a lady at work told me her pregnancy craving when she was pregnant was Taco Bell, that planted a seed in my brain because Mike and I had Taco Bell everyday that week until one day they screwed up my order so badly I swore it off (blame the hormones!). I moved on with my life and then last month we ...
Steak Fajitas
Steak Fajitas When I read the words smokiness and spicy, instantly my Chicken Fajitas recipe came to mind; I love the flavour the smoked paprika adds. That recipe inspired this one; so, so, so good! Serves 4 453 g/ 1 pound Sirloin steak (or any steak) sliced into thin strips (excess fat removed) Fajita Seasoning (see below) ½ Cup Sodium-reduced ...

Serves 4 (as an appetizer) 2 large whole wheat tortilla shells 2 tsp extra ...
Tex-Mex Burger
Tex-Mex Burger Even though it's February and we appear to be stuck in the arctic, I still want homemade burgers! I sometimes wonder if I have what it takes to do this; create healthy recipes to share with the world (we have all questioned our value and worth) and then I made this burger. Oh my! This burger is so good that I think it would be ...
Salsa
Salsa This isn’t your traditional fresh tomato salsa, I like to cook mine and then chill it. I’m not sure where I came up with this but man it works! This recipe is great in the months that tomatoes aren’t in season and are therefore lacking in flavour. I love tomatoes I’m sure you’ve noticed but in case I haven’t stressed it enough: tomatoes ...
Chicken Fajitas
Chicken Fajitas I love fajitas for a very important reason, a reason near and very dear to my heart; they’re fast! There is nothing like having a healthy, low fat, satisfying dinner (that Mike loves) that is prepped AND cooked in under 20 minutes. A girls favourite!!! Making your own seasoning blend is easy and you control not only the heat but ...
