There’s a lot awesome about this recipe, including that its made in your slow cooker, features more shopping than chopping, and has literally no fat (unless you garnish with the optional olives and cheese). It also tastes really light and fresh and yummy. Serves 6-8 1 medium eggplant, peeled and chopped into 1-2 inch dice […]

I hate salmon. I know I’m supposed to like it, I know it is good for me, and I know that if it is fresh and prepared well it tastes good. But I still hate it. So, I went looking for a salmon recipe that I could literally smother with other flavors so I could […]

Taco Night

Everyone knows how to make tacos and likes them their way, but I just wanted to share a couple yummy recipes to accompany and garnish your tacos. I make my taco meat using the Joy of Cooking recipe, or, if I don’t have time, Frontera Grill Taco Sauce (you can find it near the other […]

I can’t begin to imagine what it is like to be a person close to me. I don’t know what it’s like to watch someone you love or care about have a heart attack, and I hope I never do. There’s something about being the person who’s in crisis, the subject of the drama, that […]

But, in the last few days I have made some very tasty, very righteous recipes featuring the nutritional powerhouses walnuts, […]

Spicy, saucy, and bold, just like puttanesca should be.

Kale Puttanesca Serves 4 8 oz. whole wheat spaghetti 2 tbsp. olive oil 1/2 large onion, […]

Transition
By
I’ve been transitioned. After six weeks and 1 day at rehab, I’ve graduated to “Level III: Transition” care and won’t be returning to outpatient rehab at the hospital (at least, I have no intention of having to return there!). This is my report card, er, “outpatient discharge summary.” It has a sort of kindergarten-report-card vibe to […]

Party Hearty
By
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of heart-related puns. If you continue to read this blog, consider yourself warned. Last weekend my family and I had a ton of fun while running. To fuel those workouts, we had a pasta party at our house Saturday night. Pasta is a safe bet: crowd pleasing, healthy, easy. […]
