I’ve made this several times, varying the protein and veggies based on my mood or what we had around. Most recently I made it with tofu, which Scott tolerates and Owen actually likes. But it would be just as good with cooked chicken or shrimp. This is adapted from the Joy of Cooking. Serves 4 […]

This is adapted from a recipe I saw made on Guy Fieri’s show on Food Network. Every time I go to Exercare (for phase III of cardiac rehab), Food Network is playing on the TVs. This is amusing to me, as I’ve watched demonstrations of gruyere-bacon-potato tortes, ground pork lau lau, and all manner of […]

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 […]

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

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. […]
