20 Minute Meal: Spicy Red Clam Sauce & Gluten-Free Linguini

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Linguini with clam sauce is one of those wistful dishes I remember eating (and loving!) as a little kid when I’d go with my parents out to fancy restaurants. But, pretty much any restaurant clam sauce for pasta has a too-heavy hand when it comes to oil and butter to be considered “clean cuisine.” In [...]

Even though I live in balmy south Florida, where it is pretty much summer year round, I still like to “get into” the seasons by cooking something festive and seasonally appropriate. So, when my son started flipping through Jessica Seinfeld’s cookbook Deceptively Delicious and landed on the recipe for Gingerbread Spice Cake I thought it [...]

Picnic Pasta Salad Recipe with Red Peppers, Chives, & Goat Cheese

Larsen 048

  With July 4th right around the corner, my fellow “clean eating”  foodies are surely giving some thought as to what they will be eating. If there’s ever a time when food takes center stage, holidays are IT! But, for whatever reason, special days and holidays are notorious occasions for igniting out-of-control unhealthy food splurges.

12-Minute “Clean Eating” Italian Meal (watch video): Spicy Broccoli Rabe (Rapini) over Quinoa Linguine with Pecan Crumb Topping

broccoli raab

For the longest time I was totally intimidated by broccoli raab (rapini). This wasn’t the sort of vegetable my mom raised me on; she was really more of a “peas and carrots kinds of mom” and for most of my life I was a “peas and carrots” kind of daughter. Thinking back though, it seems [...]

fortiflax_lg

Growing up, my mom frequently made crepes from scratch. More often than not, she made the crepes for her cheese blintzes (which, by the way, were absolutely amazing!!) Regardless of what she made them for, we always ate crepes as a sweet breakfast-y brunch food. I wasn’t into clean eating back then! It wasn’t until recently I [...]

CIMG3603

Joe Riti Cooking Before I was into “clean eating” pizza was one of my staples. Actually, my most memorable pizza memories are from 10th grade in high school when I would leave school campus for lunch with one of my best friends, Gisela. We’d hop in her car and race back to my house to [...]

2004_BurritoTortilla_l

  In our house mornings aren’t one bit relaxing and they certainly aren’t anything like the commercials I see of all these happy, organized family’s eating a sit down breakfast together.

Organic Product Review: Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Whole Grain Pasta (plus recipe!)

Now that I’m a busy mom with a family to take care of I’ve learned to appreciate pasta for its convenience and versatility too! I won’t eat the nutrient-poor white stuff though (which pretty much means [...]

“Eat Clean” Pancake Recipe Made with Mila

I have a weak spot for pancakes. I think it goes back to childhood. When I was growing up my parents both hated going to places like The Original Pancake House or Denny’s (which is where, in my opinion, they served the absolute best pancakes!) Actually, I felt deprived that we couldn’t go to “fun” [...]
