I haven’t blogged since Easter! Let’s see, we spent Easter with family in Ocean City (See O’Hora Family Blog), then the next weekend was Cat’s Bridal Shower, then last weekend I hung out at Justin & Missy’s get-together and had a soccer game. Before I give you the goods on those fun events, I figured I’d hit you with the food first. I know some people are thinking “why so much about food?”. Well, the answer is that cooking is my new favorite hobby. I am especially interested in cooking healthy food that tastes good. I like to think that I’m improving the health of my family so hopefully they’ll live a long long time. Plus, food reminds me of family and warm welcoming homes and I just plain love food. I love eating food, I love watching the Food Network, I love reading about food, okay that’s enough!

A few new recipes I’ve tried in the last few weeks…every single one of these recipes is fairly healthy (Cooking Light) and a repeater!

Buffalo-Style Catfish Strips
I was thinking of the catfish-spicy-anything-fried-food-lover in my household when I picked out this recipe.

Ham, Spinach, and Sun-Dried Tomato Calzones
I made half of these sans ham for me aka vegetarian. I also just happened to have some fresh basil that I added too. I’m a huge fan of sun-dried tomatoes.

African Sweet Potato Stew with Red Beans (Vegan)
Peanut lovers rejoice! Ahem - Ry-Ry. This stew was super yummy. In fact, I’ll probably be eating leftovers tonight. It was a little too much PB for R but I’m sure Ryan will approve. Next time I will split it before I add the peanut butter and have one half with and one half without. The sweet potatoes were so good, I gave them two pictures.

Coriander Chicken with Tomato Corn Salad
This was one isn’t new, I lied. I’ve been making it for a while but it is very summery so this is the first time I made it since last summer. R took this for lunch, that means he liked it too! The only thing missing from this is avocado but I could eat avocado on anything
