If you want pasta sans the carbs, you’re not alone. But now there is a way to get the best of both worlds – spiralized veggies! In this recipe, I slice zucchini with a spiralizer (even though you don’t need one) to create pasta that is lighter, lower-carb and absolutely delicious underneath a simple leek [...]

Light Roasted Red Pepper Party Dip
January 10, 2013 – 9:31 am
Many party dips are deceivingly light. With each scoop, though, you are packing in the calories and unnecessarily so. Store-bought dips are not only packed with fat, since they often use cream cheese or mayonnaise as a base, but also with preservatives, colorings, and other additives. This recipe is for a creamy red pepper dip [...]
Mashed “Potato” Casserole with Broiled Cheese and Fresh Chives
December 5, 2012 – 8:08 am
I doubt you have leftover mashed potatoes left from Thanksgiving, but isn’t it sad that most of us don’t really have mashed potatoes regularly? In my experience, it’s a comfort dish that I’d see at family gatherings or holiday dinners, not an everyday side dish unless, that is, it’s the packaged grocery store variety that [...]

Better Roasted

I adore roasted tomatoes. Their color and taste deepen after baking and they can really hold their own in a dish. One of my favorite combinations is roasted tomatoes and goat cheese. With the addition of roasted onion, fresh chives, and soy sauce, the pair are taken to another level. The result is an elegant [...]

As much as I love to keep things healthy, every once in awhile I like to fry cheese, because I love fried cheese. A lot. These fritters bring together the wholesomeness of cauliflower, chives, goat Swiss cheese, and eggs and a frying pan. These are so delicious and gone in minutes. They are also wonderful [...]
Pink Cauliflower Dip
February 3, 2012 – 10:50 am
Sometimes the only thing that makes a vegetable appealing is everything…but it. A flavorful dressing, sauce, or dip can make the difference between a blah, force-fed meal and one that you inhale in 5 minutes flat. This dip ensures the latter. I hate cooking with cauliflower and broccoli. Sure, I love their taste (nothing beats [...]
