One night last week I needed something quick and satisfying for dinner…Pasta. There’s something comforting about the traditional spaghetti and red sauce dinner that I crave every now and then. And rather than using ground beef, why not try tempeh? It gives you the same great protein but without all the saturated fat. Tempeh usually […]
OK – so here’s the Tahini Sauce recipe I promised you. This stuff works magic with those edamame patties I made earlier this week. This stuff couldn’t get any simpler and it’s a healthy alternative to those not-so-healthy white sauces out there. Tahini. Water. Lemon Juice. Garlic. Salt. Parsley. Pretty easy, right? Let’s do it… […]
Looking for a new pasta sauce idea? Creating a puree with any vegetable can act as a sauce and as a great way to get in more nutrients with a pasta dish. Broccoli, carrot and squash purees are great with pasta. So why not edamame? Because this sauce is a little thick, you can use […]
This hot and sunny 4th of July was a relaxing one, enjoying some great food and a couple Leinenkugels by the pool with my favorite guy and puppies.

Here is a great sauce I picked up from my South American travels. Chimmichurri is a blend of parsley, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and aji (a type of super spicy pepper), and is used typically on steak dishes. While eating lunch at a restaurant one day, I just happened to dip my sweet potato […]

In addition to its heart healthy fat profile and its beautiful orange color, Salmon is a mighty fish, able to swim hundreds of miles upstream fighting against strong currents. Its strength makes me feel strong. The majority of the Salmon you find at supermarkets and grocery stores is […]
And so it begins! My love affair with all-things pumpkin, that is. The Fall season has so much to offer – cooler weather, spiced aromas, the changing of leaves…wait, who am I kidding? Changing of leaves in Florida? Okay, so maybe I don’t really get to experience that part of fall, having lived in Florida […]
As I was flipping through my bon appetit magazine today, I found this tasty looking scallop recipe and thought I would share. Although I don’t eat them too often, I really love scallops. These mollusks are a nice change from the typical filet of fish, and they offer a rather hearty composure. Somewhat sweet in flavor […]
