asparagus salad

Watching a Food Network show recently, I saw a chef prepare this super fast and easy recipe. I thought it was perfect for you to use when you just can’t eat the same ol salad again and want to change it up a bit.  It took me less than 5 minutes to make and the cheese and vinegar will wake your taste buds as you crunch away.

baked mac and cheese healthy

This is the second recipe from my recent on-site food demo.  Now, I must admit I’m not a mac and cheese fan, but I have it on the authority of 2 cheese experts (my daughters) that this recipe ranks up there with the best!  They won’t believe its made with whole wheat shells, skim milk, low fat cheese and no butter.  The recipe below will be 275 cals per 3 oz serving. The original had 396 cals per serving. more »

Recipe- Whole Wheat Linguine with Clam Sauce

linguine with clam sauce

I’ve been making this dish ever since Dr Gigante, my former boss & chiropractor, shared it with me.  His story about his parents owning an italian restaurant, and the vivid memory of his father squeezing whole stewed tomatoes with his hands into the dish, (the only way to do it if you want the perfect consistency), affected me. more »

snack- lettuce in balsamic

You can’t beat this snack for low calories and full flavor.  It’s as simple as a piece of crisp lettuce dipped into a high quality balsamic vinegar.  The secret: make sure the balsamic vinegar is the good stuff. How will you know? It’ll taste very sweet and have a thicker consistency.

Go ahead and indulge: a lettuce leaf has about 5 calories and balsamic vinegar has anywhere from 10 – 20 calories per tbsp.

Tip- If you want to really go crazy make an olive oil & balsamic emulsion with shallots :-)
