I've shared this recipe for stuffed shells before but I wanted to share it again because I recently made it for a small dinner party and was able to re-photograph it. It looks much more appealing than it did in my original post 3 years ago with my old camera. ... Keep Reading >>
Nutella Bread Pudding
I wanted to share this recipe before the week was over and since it is Friday (TGIF) I figured I was running out of time. I am SO tired, I've worked for the last 14 days straight and looking and my calendar my next day off is Monday April 29th. Next week I am having 2 estate sales, a challenge that I'm still not sure how I am going to pull off! I booked the second sale at the last-minute but I couldn't resist the project, I will be selling 2 vintage Model-T cars! Typically I have my sales on Friday and Saturday but since I ...

Shrimp with Couscous
Today I am sharing a quick recipe for shrimp with couscous. I tried it for dinner last week and it was really good. The peas and leeks screamed "Spring" to me and the couscous gave me a little carb fix, I almost thought I was eating pasta. I think it would be great with a kick of curry, grilled chicken, or other seasonal veggies depending on what you like. You could also skip the protein and serve it as a side dish. Here is the recipe... ... Keep Reading >>
Coconut Macaroons
All of my clients love my assistant Matt and I have to agree that he is pretty great. I'm amazed that he has stuck with me at Kuzak's Closet for a year now, time flies! When he started working for me I thought it would be temporary but after all this time he is still hanging around. I asked him what keeps him coming to work and he said "lunch." He and I have that in common, we both love food. The only problem is that he is a very tall 22-year-old male and I am an average 32-year-old female, let's just say the calories affect ...

Homemade Granola
Breakfast is the toughest meal for me to stay on track. I miss the days when I could eat a bowl or two or cereal with a huge glass of juice but since I was diagnosed with my inflammatory problem I've had to change my routine. Protein shakes and meal bars have been my staple but somedays I would rather starve than choke one down. I've done some research and oats are on my approved foods list. I figured if I could have them as oatmeal I should be able to have them in granola. Store bought versions have way too much sugar and ... Keep Reading >>
Black Bean Turkey Enchiladas
I have been on a Mexican food kick lately, I think it is because it is starting to feel like spring here in California. Chris likes tacos and quesadillas (so do I) but I wanted to make something healthy that I could prepare ahead of time and freeze for future dinners. Even though it is just the two of us I try to do that as often as possible, it really helps me organize my weekly meal plan and stay on top of my budget for groceries. I found this recipe for Black Bean Turkey Enchiladas on one of my favorite blogs and I've made ... Keep Reading >>
Tuscan Kale Chopped Salad
After my vacation to Maui I am in need of a big cleanse. Last week I tried to eat as healthy as I could but still found myself in front of a margarita and a plate of fajitas on Friday night. I made up for it on Saturday on a big hike with my friend Lori but I am not off the hook yet. I've said this before but I'll say it again, if it was up to me we would eat mac and cheese with potato chips on it for dinner every night. Chris is really the one that pushed me to make healthy low carb dinner options. As much as the idea pains ... Keep Reading >>
French Onion Soup
French onion soup has always been a favorite of mine. It has such a rich flavor and the gooey cheese on top always hits the spot. I have wanted to make it at home for years but never found a recipe that looked easy enough. I recently spotted today's recipe on Skinnytaste, one of my favorite blogs, and decided to give it a whirl. ... Keep Reading >>
