I love beans. Any kind of beans – refried beans, chili beans, pinto beans, black beans, white beans, navy beans, kidney beans. I love ‘em all! So when Weight Watchers made beans 0 points on the Freestyle program, my beating, bean-loving heart was content. I better admit that I am too lazy to soak beans …
Bruschetta on Grilled Zucchini
There's so much to love about summer - swimming pools, lightning bugs, vacations, BBQs - that it's hard to pick one thing. But this low-carb bruschetta recipe combines two of my summer favorites: grilling and freshly grown produce. Fresh produce from the garden or the local farmers' market makes for some good summertime eating. I …

Tuesday, I published Cheese-Stuffed Roasted Red Pepper Chicken which was made with leftover Roasted Red Pepper Sauce.

Cheese-Stuffed Roasted Red Pepper Chicken

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
I'm a sucker for a good homemade pasta sauce. Before I ever attempted to make sauce from scratch, I felt intimidated and thought it was a lot of unnecessary work when I could easily open a jar. But once I gave it a try, I realized that there are two reasons I prefer to make …

When I launched Grub Delite, I promised to …
Bacon Garlic Parmesan Green Beans
Do you ever look for ways to dress up your veggies to make them more appealing? Maybe for your kids, other picky eaters in your household, or even just yourself? When I was a kid, the only vegetable I would eat was green beans. But there was a caveat to this. I would only eat …
Caramelized Onion Dip
As much as I love to cook - and eat, of course - there is one food that I have despised most of my life. Onions! And onions are in so, so much. Including this recipe. It's kinda the star of the show. Only in the last few years have I very slowly and reluctantly …
Soyrizo & Queso Fresco Jalapeno Poppers (Recipe Remake)
I couldn't wait to revamp my old "Not Your Average Jalapeno Poppers," not only because I've been excited to share this fun take on jalapeno poppers with my WW readers, but I also knew it would be a pretty easy recipe to alter.

Berry Shortcake
Strawberry shortcake was the ultimate summer dessert when I was a kid. There's nothing quite like fresh, juicy summertime strawberries. And thrown on top of shortcake? Yes, please! As I got older, I noticed that people make strawberry shortcake any number of ways. For some, strawberries top a slice of angel food cake, or mini …
