For those who use their grills seasonally, this weekend launches that season. In theory, it ought ... continues

Asparagus, Beet and Tomato Couscous
This asparagus, beet and tomato couscous is one of my favorite picnic salads, and one that I make as often as I can while asparagus is still in season. This colorful, multi-textured, nutritious salad is as delicious as looks. You can find whole wheat couscous at Trader Joe's. It's worth seeking out ... continues

Lemon-Lime Pork Tenderloin

The end result is a delicious, succulent lean piece of meat the whole family will enjoy. If you have time, marinate this lemon-lime pork te... continues

Mother's Day Delights
For me, there are two Mother's Days: the U.K. one, known as Mothering Sunday, which is in March, where I remember my own mother, and the U.S. one, which is on May 12th this year, when my two girls will no doubt put together a yummy breakfast feast for me (girls, are you reading this?). <p>If it'... continues

Pork and Pineapple Kebabs
Succulent pork tenderloin pairs well with fresh pineapple for this easy and delicious recipe for pork and pineapple kebabs. The good thing about pork is that although it is strictly a red meat, despite its famous advertising slogan declaring it to be the "other white meat," pork is indeed lean. The ... continues

Skinny Fish and Chips
Growing up in England, I fondly remember eating fish and chips. Generously sprinkled with malt vinegar and an unhealty dose of salt, the deep-fried, battered cod and chips was as delicious as it was unhealthy. Yet fish and chips needn't be a dietary nightmare. Dispense with the deep fryer and make ... continues

Spotting High-Fat Foods on Menus

It's a little easier to spot high-fat foods on menus these days. After all, many restaurants now publish calorie counts, though not terribly accurately, as researchers from Tufts University have noted. More comprehensive calorie count requirements, covering a wider range of restaurants, still seem a
