Around here, Brussels Sprouts are pretty much a staple…. for me anyway. I could literally eat them daily – steamed, boiled, fried – or my new favorite way – ROASTED! This quick and easy recipe is simply a must for all sprout lovers! And side note – did you know they are Brussels Sprouts and not Brussel Sprouts? I have been saying/spelling it wrong for over 30 years…
I love love love love Mexican food. I blame about 10 pounds on the fact that a Rio Bravo Mexican Restaurant opened up literally at the entrance to my neighborhood. Morning, noon, and night I would love to indulge in Mexican faire – to the chagrin of my waistline.
Well… not anymore!
Never in a million years would I think I would be creating a mouth watering Baked Atlantic Salmon dish in my own kitchen. Growing up on Pensacola Beach gave me a love for seafood – but I never learned how to actually cook it, so I have always enjoyed my seafood from a restaurant… not anymore!
When I began Eating Clean last year I knew I was going to have to expand my choices in vegetables… one can only eat green beans and broccoli so much. After enjoying some amazing wilted spinach for the first time at The Angus, I knew I had to learn how to make it so I could enjoy it at home.
I tried to make it from home a dozen times, but it always ended up tasting so bitter I would throw it away. I watched YouTube Videos, scoured Pinterest, and even questioned my friends. I could not figure out what I was missing. There had to be some “magic ingredient” that I was missing. Then one day I got a frantic call from my mother, “I FIGURED IT OUT!!! THE MAGIC INGREDIENT!!” Apparently Mom had been watching Rachel Ray and discovered the “magic” ingredient for making the most amazing tasting wilted spinach on the planet…. nutmeg.
The past week a horrible snowstorm has hit the Northeastern states. All of the pictures of snow have made me long for a warm bowl of chili! Tuttorosso’s hearty turkey chili recipe combines fresh veggies, beans and ground turkey. Switching to ground turkey, instead of beef, provides a very healthy chili recipe for your family!
The boys are still young and require that dinner be served around 5:30 each evening. Eating so early in the evening causes me to be extremely hungry around 9 each night. And I won’t lie, I typically eat shortly before bed time. Yet, I try to pick healthy alternatives for my late night snack. One of my favorite snacks is chips and salsa. Tuttorosso’s Italian Tomato Salsa recipe is delicious and very quick and easy to prepare.
Mike’s favorite food in the whole world is Pizza. When I met him he literally did not have a single thing to eat in his house besides frozen pizzas. Ahh, my darling bachelor. I, however, am not a fan of pizza, and really have to be in the right mood for it… and even then I only want it like twice a year. Lasagna, on the other hand, I can eat all day every day. Just call me Garfield….. wait, did I just show my age?
So, in a wonderful experiment gone deliciously right, I put the two together in a mash of cheesy goodness hoping they would pair together as well as my love and I have… and they did. This is a meal that Mike loved, *I* loved, and the girls begged for seconds.
When I first became addicted discovered Pinterest, one of the very first images I posted was of Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms. However it wasnt until months later that I actually attempted to cook them, and even then I didnt have all of the ingredients on hand, so I got a little creative… and they were amazing.
My husband is a pistachio addict. He loves pistachios. I buy them EVERY time I go to the grocery. He cannot get enough of them, really its an obsession. He eats them shelled, unshelled, plain, salted, spiced you name the packaging and he will eat it. I could not wait to incorporate these tasty little nuts into a delicious recipe. I scoured the internet for recipes and came up empty-handed. I needed a recipe that incorporated pistachios and would satisfy my husbands peculiar taste palate. He would be a happy camper if we could have steak and a form of cooked potatoes every night. Thus, the Pistachio Chicken Carbonara recipe was created.
