CEiMB: Pork Chops with Seasoned Rub
I’m finally back to participating in Craving Ellie in My Belly! It’s great to get back to Ellie’s recipes, especially now that I’m really watching what I eat. In the last month or so, there have been some changes in how CEiMB works. Rather than everyone post the same recipe each Thursday, we’re now making …
CEiMB: Greek Salad Pitas with Feta Spread and Turkey
Sorry for the not so great picture…my camera battery died so I had to use my phone! When it was my turn to select a recipe for Craving Ellie in My Belly, I knew I wanted to pick something simple yet satisfying since I knew I’d be about 8 months pregnant during what has turned …
CEiMB: Crispy Chicken Fingers
First, I’m so glad to be back cooking with the CEiMB group! I’m hoping to go back and make some of the recipes I missed over the last few months. I hated to miss so many good ones! Second, it is always so hard to choose a recipe when it’s my turn to pick the …
CEiMB: Beef and Mushroom Barley Soup
This week’s Craving Ellie in My Belly recipe was my choice! I had a hard time choosing as there are so many fantastic looking recipes in Ellie’s cookbooks. I decided to choose this recipe for Beef and Mushroom Barley Soup as it sounded like a nice, warm, hearty soup to start of the new year, …
CEiMB: Beef Taco Salad with Chunky Tomato Dressing
I am not a big salad eater, but I am a huge fan of taco salad, so I was excited about this week’s CEiMB recipe for Beef Taco Salad with Chunky Tomato Dressing. Let me tell you, we really enjoyed this! Even the toddler ate this, and he’s never eaten salad before (although he is …
CEiMB: Beef Stroganoff
Stroganoff is one of my favorite foods, so I was very excited when Liz of The Not So Skinny Kitchen selected Beef Stroganoff as this week’s Craving Ellie in My Belly recipe. The husband is not a fan of stroganoff, mostly because he hates sour cream and mushrooms. I was hoping that we would like …
CEiMB: Tortellini-Spinach Soup
I’ve mentioned before that soup is one of my favorite foods, so I’m always on the lookout for a good soup recipe that is relatively healthy. Talk about hitting the motherload here…not only was this soup easy to throw together and absolutely delicious, but it is very healthy too! I’m not a vegetable eater, but …
CEiMB Rewind: Confetti Chili
I am not a fan of most vegetables, so in order to force myself to eat them, I have to hide them in my meals as if I were a little kid. Ellie Kreiger comes through again! This chili was a great way to do that, and was absolutely delicious. Even the toddler ate a …
CEiMB Rewind: Lemon Chicken Soup with Orzo
This is another recipe the CEiMB group made prior to my joining, and was also one I really wanted to try after buying Ellie Krieger’s cookbook, The Food You Crave. As usual with Ellie’s recipes, this one did not disappoint. The only thing I didn’t care for was the amount of onions and the celery, …
CEiMB: Pasta Salad with Walnuts and Feta Cheese
Do you know what I love most about the various cooking/baking groups I’ve joined? I’m frequently pushed out of my comfort zone and try things I would have passed over otherwise. This pasta salad is no exception. I really debated skipping this one, particularly since we just got back from vacation late last night, and …
