With football season kicking off this weekend I wanted to give you guys a little game time meal that you could feel good about eating!  These Buffalo Chicken Butter Lettuce Cups are the perfect dish!

For those of you really trying to incorporate more QUICK and HEALTHY meals into your diet you have to play in the world of steaming. 

This is the chicken that I served with my Red Cabbage Salad the other night.  I found this recipe on a blog called "Good Things Catered", Recipes from a casual cook turned caterer turned back again. 

I just sort of stumbled across this blog while searching for Asian style chicken recipes and decided to give it a go, after all blog recipes are where it's at these days;). 

Okay, so I got a little distracted with Valentine's Day (Chocolate Covered Strawberries can do that to me) but I haven't forgotten this months Food Focus... Quinoa!  

I've got more Quinoa recipes coming your way, starting with my Black Bean and Quinoa Pita Pockets! 

One thing that I find to be a HUGE HELP when it comes to sticking to a healthy game plan during a busy week, is a little pre-preppin'.  Although I sometimes opt to spend the extra hours at the beach or lounging with some friends, I'm usually pretty good about "setting up my week". 

When it comes to the old school classics, there are only so many variations you can make.  I mean they're classics for a reason, you know what I mean?

This dish is too good to be so easy, and the truth is, there really isn't any cooking involved (other than cooking up your soba noodles... but does that really count?).

Chicken Parmigiana is an old Italian classics that I grew up on. So naturally, it's one of those "go to" meals I can always rely on.  I find that baking this dish not only lightens it up a bit, but it makes for a lot less cleaning as well!
