Looking For Some Terrific Recipes?

If you eat light, then I bet you cook a lot at home. I guess it's obvious that I do, since I author a light cooking blog.

Of course this means I'm always on the hunt for something new to make. That's why I love my fellow bloggers.

These blogs offer some really terrific recipes, and I always find inspiration as I read through their stories, and get a glimpse into their lives.



I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Chicken Breasts with Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onions


I loved this recipe from Cooking LIght Magazine. It was given to me by my husband's coworker. The chicken is stuffed with creamy goat cheese and caramelized onions. Served with an easy pan sauce, it really was delicious, and well worth the effort to make.
You can find the recipe… Continue

What do burgers and fries have to do with diabetes?

Morgan Spurlock gained 25 pounds and suffered physically and emotionally after eating exclusively at McDonald's for just one month in his excellent documentary Super Size Me.
