Mexican food is one of our favorites! So I am always on the lookout for healthy alternatives to some of our favorite dishes. One of Riche’s favorites are pork carnitas. When I found this Weight Watcher recipe, I was excited to give it a try and even more excited when Riche went back for two […]

WAR EAGLE y’all!!! I am still on an absolute Auburn high from this weekend but didn’t want to forget what I promised in my special holiday post last week. One of our family traditions for both Thanksgiving and Christmas is my Mom’s Cranberry Compote. There are lots of funny stories from over the years […]
Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!!!
Welcome to a special holiday edition of A Hungry Southern Belle. Whew! What a Thanksgiving holiday and holiday weekend! After sitting down with the family and getting everyone’s special requests for Thanksgiving dinner, we had enough food to feed the neighborhood! Riche took over the turkey prep duties this year and used his new fancy […]
Deconstructed (Healthy) One Skillet Lasagna
Oh my y’all…. has it really been that long since I last posted. My deepest apologies to all of my loyal and hungry fans. As much as I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been out there cooking up a storm (which I have been to a certain extent), college football season and life […]
Spicy Green Curry Cilantro Shrimp
This southern girl LOVES Thai food. I have always loved a spicy curry but tend not to have it often because of the higher fat content. When I found this Weight Watchers recipe, I was intrigued. Could something so delicious be healthy too?!? I’m here to tell you that YES! It was delicious, nutritious […]

Mise En Place (There’s a word for my type A kitchen behavior!!!)

The quiet time in the kitchen before guests arrive… before the smells and sounds of the kitchen commence… my alone time […]
Chorizo, Rice and Bean Soup
Sorry y’all! This Southern Belle has been out of touch for the past week, but don’t fret! I’ve been cooking up a storm and even have some restaurants I need to share with you. First things first. It’s been rainy in the South and that always makes me crave soup! I made this for […]
Chili-Citrus Flank Steak with Arugula Salad and Blue Cheese Crostini
There have been lots of posts about chicken and ground turkey breast, so I figured it was time to give a well-exercised part of the cow some TLC. I was playing around with my spices and found a perfect combination of a smoky-citrus rub to add flavor with a citrus juice medley to tenderize […]
This sure isn’t Taco Bell!
So Monday night is bowling night in our house. We are a member of an alumni association league in the fall and spring, and then just play for fun on Mondays in the “off season”. In Riche’s old single days, that meant Taco Bell for dinner. Not being a TB fan myself, I’ve attempted […]
