I love Cooking Light magazine. I haven’t cooked anything out of it since I bought a subscription though, but have tagged many (lol)! I did buy Cooking Light’s Cooking Through the Seasons when Borders bookstores were going out of business. It was a great time to stock up on cookbooks!
I made this a breezy afternoon and there weren’t that many leftovers for the next day. It was delicious, chock full of vegetables, and quick to make. It was colorful and seasoned well. I think carrots would have made a great addition, but it was great just the way it was.

I love hummus and finally found a hummus recipe that I love, but when I saw this one with sun dried tomatoes, I knew I had to try it. I love sun dried tomatoes! I bought the ingredients last fall, but didn’t have the energy to make it. You know I was baking up this guy…

I had some sour cream in the fridge that I needed to use up so I went searching for recipes. I found this one from Whole Foods. It was lacking in some flavor but was filling. I left out the mushrooms because Mr. G doesn’t like them and decided to use wheat egg noodles. If…

I almost forgot to post these! This is one of the appetizers I served before Christmas Eve dinner. They were a great option because I could make them the day before and they had red and green in them (but are good for anytime of the year). Our visitors really enjoyed them and we did…

This is another great find from Pinterest. I have never made fudge before, so I was hoping this would turn out good. From the reviews it did! It was rich and creamy and definitely had a coffee flavor to it. Feel free to follow me on Pinterest to see what else I am pinning here….
