Corn Dogs at Home!

This summer when our city was having the fair, our small group from church was scheduled to have our monthly dinner together. My husband suggested that we fix “Fair food” for our meal. We all jumped on that idea like… mustard on a corn dog!

I was anxious to try my hand at making at home!

As it turns out, they were very easy to make and we loved them!

Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Turkey Burger

Eating a burger that is a healthier option doesn’t have to be boring! There are so many great recipes and options to add that make a turkey burger just as delicious as it is healthy!

I recently made a recipe that called for sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Wow! These added so much flavor! Creamy feta is also part of the recipe. What great flavor and texture additions they were!

Lunch – Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

It’s so easy to get into a rut at lunchtime! The choices get old – a sandwich, a cup of soup. or a hot dog. One day when I was searching for lunch ideas, I found this recipe for Asian Chicken Wraps on the Weight Watchers site and I realized that I pretty much always have these ingredients on hand. I buy a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club every couple of weeks and cut the meat off the bones and freeze it. Then when I want to make anything with chicken breasts or thighs, it’s so convenient.

The ingredients for these wraps are few – thigh meat chicken, celery, carrots and Hoisin sauce. Eating them on lettuce makes them lighter, and the crunchy lettuce is perfect! Talk about a quick, healthy lunch menu!

Mason Jar Salads and Homemade Dressings

We eat lots of salads at our house, so that means we need salad dressings. I like Ranch, but that can be pretty boring after a while! I love to make my own dressings for three reasons:

  1. To add variety and freshness to our meals
  2. To add the right flavors with the type of salad I’ve made
  3. To be able to control the ingredients.

I’ve recently tried two new dressing recipes and they were so fresh and delicious that I just have to share them with you!
