The thing that I love best about this recipe is that it takes no time to prepare and even less time to cook. That means that even when the thought of cooking is just too much to bear, you can have a delicious meal in about 15 minutes. I don’t know about you, but I [...]

This is one of those dishes that look so big that it could not possibly have as few calories as it does. The mushrooms in the stuffing give a really unique flavour and you can play around with different types of mushrooms to give you a different result. Equally if you are not a mushroom [...]
Recipe: Sensational Lasagna
March 30, 2010 by Simple or Sensational
Filed under Entrees/Main Courses
After a little research I discovered that Italians spell it Lasagne and English speakers spell it Lasagna. Either way it is delicious but can pack a punch in fat and calories. This version is much lighter and is still delicious, with the combination of shrimp and the sun dried tomatoes taking this dish from simple [...]

When I mentioned to my husband that I was going to post a lower fat lasagna his initial reaction was “you can’t make a healthy lasagna taste good”. When he actually tasted it his comment was “oh my, this is actually really amazing”. While this lasagna doesn’t have the gooey, drippy cheese of the original, [...]
Recipe: Beef Wellington

I am taking a little poetic license here and this beef dish is really “beef in the style of Wellington”. Beef Wellington is typically beef tenderloin, wrapped in a combination of pate and sautéed mushrooms and then wrapped in puff pastry. The original of the dish can be pretty high up on the “things to [...]

Beef and mushrooms are one of those classic pairings that you can do very little wrong with. This recipe is a big flavour step up from broiling a steak and sautéing some mushrooms, but with not much more work. You can play around with the mushrooms you use to give you different flavours and I [...]
Recipe: Simple Beef Tenderloin with Marsala Sauce

Beef is a great dinner party standby, because it is easy to make it look sensational without a great deal more work. Along that line you will see that the simple and sensational versions of this recipe are almost identical, with the only real difference being the cut of beef and the way it is presented. I [...]
Recipe: Sensational Beef Fillet with Marsala Sauce
November 7, 2009 by Simple or Sensational
Filed under Entrees/Main Courses
I did mention that the sensational version of this dish is all in the presentation and instead of using beef tenderloin you will need the same amount of beef fillet. I also used spaghetti squash as a garnish. All you do with that is cut the squash in half, bake for about forty five minutes [...]
Recipe: Shrimp Stuffed Salmon with Honey Soy Glaze

Filed under Entrees/Main Courses
This recipe is a case of taking a good thing and really making it better. I wanted to eat nine of these and I am traditionally not a big fish eater. You can also sauté the bok choy in a little chicken or vegetable stock to really bring this dish up a notch, but watch [...]

I was recently asked if I had a good salmon recipe and I had to direct the person who asked to a different web site. Not something that I wanted to do again, I set about coming up with a great salmon recipe. Unfortunately I’ve always had a it of a love hate relationship with [...]
