Thai Veggie Zoodle Bowl
I love Pad Thai and peanut noodle dishes. I’ve been craving a healthier version for a while. This one turned out beautifully. It does require a lot of chopping and prepping but cooking is quick. To be honest, my kids did not like it. Probably too many veggies and flavor. It’s still a keeper recipe! […]
Chickpea pasta with kale and roasted red peppers
I was experimenting with a new pasta (Barilla Chickpea Pasta) and designed this yummy recipe. To be honest, I like the taste and texture of the chickpea pasta but I don’t love it. Definitely serve it hot to help keep the texture soft. Ingredients: 1 box of Chickpea Casarecce Pasta (8.8 oz or 250 g) […]
Roasted Red Peppers Strips
If red peppers are on sale, I usually buy 6 peppers to make RRP (roasted red pepper strips). So simple… just slice into strips, toss with olive oil, garlic and salt and cook. That’s it. When done, they are like candy. I like to make a big batch and use them in a variety of […]

Mushrooms are a great way to bulk up soups and give them a meaty flavor. I blended up ingredients in order to obtain a creamy consistency without anything bad. This versatile soup recipe is full of veggies, flavor (without any extra spice) and I was able to cut down on the meat (sausage). Feel free […]
