Having resolved to ignore the plaintive mewling of my family and to start cooking “good stuff” again, I went looking for some recipes I developed several years ago (2005! where does the time go?).

Maybe it’s not such a surprise that I still have them kicking around as I am indeed a self-confessed (digital) pack rat. Sure enough, they were still in their directory on my hard drive, each file containing three recipes for healthy, tasty food.

My original plan for these babies was to sell the files at $1.00 each. I thought they’d fly off the Internet, destined for homes of people who wanted to lose weight without having to eat cardboard. My first attempt at marketing them garnered me tons of hate mail…apparently asking for a small token in return for the imagination, testing, writing, photography, and publishing of recipes is a no-no in the weight loss world. Who knew?

My dream of financing a weekly cup of coffee at Starbucks through recipe sales was crushed. And, as the response really just confirmed my initial impression of humans in general, I let the entire issue drop.

Now that four years have passed and I just happened upon the files on my hard drive, I’ve decided to fling them out there onto the great Interweb-thingie FOR FREE!

Menu 1:

* Blueberry-Yogurt Smoothie
* Curried Broccoli Soup
* Sausage and Potato Bake

Menu 2:

* Scallop Cakes

Menu 3:

Menu 4:

Menu 5:

Any and all positive feedback would be greatly appreciated (I need all the help I can get re-motivating myself to cook “good stuff” again)!
