Low Fat Cabbage Roll Soup
In the low carb veggie world cauliflower is definitely king, but cabbage is always a prince of a vegetable in my book. My husband adores it in traditional cole slaws, added into salads raw, and of course cooked with sausage. I even steamed it and made it into cabbage rolls, once, but once was enough because although it was yummy, I just never got back around to the time-consuming chore…. Continue Reading

Greek Style Roasted Pork Loin
I discovered this recipe for Roast Pork with Oregano and Wine Cretan Style maybe 30 years ago. I adapted it from a paperback cookbook after cooking it once and deciding it was definitely a keeper.

So now we are enjoying it again and for the sake of WordPress and google, who seem to… Continue Reading
