The second installment of Eating Well Wednesday features another ‘Greek‘ titled recipe. This one titled Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers.

EatingWell Wednesday – Greek Orzo Stuffed Peppers
Newport Restaurant Week
This weekend we were lucky enough to take part in Newport Restaurant Week in Newport, R.I. Newport is a great town to visit in the first place: the mansions, the scenery, the quaint (meaning expensive with lots of breakables) shops and the ocean. This week, many restaurants up the ante by having tastings and prix…
French Toast with Vanilla, Cinnamon and Agave Nectar
It is Priscilla’s (Priscila’s Baking Adventures) fault. Yup, she did it. She posted a recipe titled ‘french toast with vanilla and cinnamon’. Gosh, how do you resist? I could not. Now, I must state this now and hope you stick with me: I do not have a photo. I started off just trying to modify…
Roasted Cauliflower & Edamame

Baby Lettuces with Sprouts, Apple, Pecans & Cranberries
Continuing in my need to eat veggies like a bunny on a feeding fest I enjoyed this salad the other day and had the bonus of watching the kids eat alfalfa sprouts with balsamic vinegar. Now they are hooked. I recall how I used to love eating lots of these sprouts with french dressing at…
My kitchen buddy – Kuhn Rikon
I love my little blue paring knife from Kuhn Rikon. I had seen and heard of these little guys but I did not have one until a few months ago when I found them hanging in T.J. Maxx. I grabbed one for myself and some for stocking stuffers. I use my blue guy and a…

Welcome to Eating Well Wednesdays! I am going to feature recipes from Eating Well magazine every Wednesday. Their magazines statement is ‘where good taste meets good health’. The first recipe I choose was the greek bison burger and I was thrilled to find some ground Bison at a lovely market in Mystic, CT. Okay, yes,…
