Tomato Tortellini Soup II

  I told my husband I was going to come up with a low-fat tomato tortellini soup for dinner and he looked at me like there was no way he was eating it. If it’s not meat and potatoes he automatically thinks he won’t like it. Well, he wound up eating 2 huge bowls of this soup and kept telling me how good it was so I decided to share it with you. When you read how many servings this makes, keep in mind that my husband doesn’t eat like a normal person. He eats like the Incredible Hulk would eat. He secretly wants to be the Incredible Hulk. Don’t tell him I told you , though. Ooh, he’s going to kill me.

Strawberry Smores

 

Sitting out by my fire pit the first thing that pops into my mind is s’mores. Well strawberries are just about in season and I thought to myself, “How can make s’mores with strawberries”? Ha! Another Kooky Carol concoction was born. These are so yummy that my guests ate them all before I even fired up the grill for dinner and they were supposed to be for dessert. Good thing I had a backup plan. Now you’re thinking, where does the fire pit fit into all of this? Well, it doesn’t but I had a nice flame on the gas grill.  Ha Ha! Continue reading »

Creole Corn and Shrim

 

I told my husband I was going to add some spice to our marriage and he was so excited.  Since he loves food almost as much as he loves me I don’t think he was too disappointed when I pointed out I was talking about spicy shrimp. And, because I am trying to use up all the fresh frozen corn in my freezer and shrimp were on sale at the market this week. Ta da! This is what we got. Actually, I got so busy cooking this past Sunday I realized that I forgot to eat half of my dinner. At 9:30 I was laying in bed wondering why I was so hungry when it dawned on me that the other half of my dinner was still in the toaster oven. Such is life. Continue reading »

Tuna Pasta Salad

 

Summer is right around the corner and that means BATHING SUIT SEASON!  I don’t know about you but this scares the heck out of me every year. No more baggy pants and bulky sweaters to hide under. Every April I go into panic mode and try to lighten up my diet to fit back into the clothes I wore last summer. This tuna pasta salad is made with solid white albacore tuna and whole grain pasta. It is also made with olive oil not mayonnaise. Not only is it delicious and refreshing in the summer, it’s healthy and low-fat. Your bathing suit will thank you as well as other people on the beach that have to look at you. Just kidding. Well, not really. Ha ha! Continue reading »
