Italian Wedding Soup

Written by 1 Comment

Kids love tender tiny meatballs and fun pasta shapes that swim in this soup. I like the spinach and egg ribbons that make this soup a full meal.

Chicken Saltimbocca

Written by 1 Comment

I call this ‘jump in your mouth’ chicken, since that’s the meaning of Salta-in-bocca! It has jumped into quite a few mouths since I started cooking it. This low-fat version is as delicious as the full-fat one since it’s flavored with fresh sage and prosciutto and it has become a favorite among private chef clients.

Chicken and Vegetable Stir-fry

Most kids love eating take-out Chinese from those neat paper cartons. Here’s a heart-healthy version you can prepare at home that still has that great savory flavor! Take out the chicken to make this vegetarian.

Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad

Written by Leave a Comment

I love the tart and tangy flavors of the traditional Caesar Salad. My version still has all the flavor minus the fat you’ll find in most restaurant or store-bought Caesars! Leftovers make a perfect quick and healthy office lunch.

Caldereta

Written by 1 Comment

Caldereta is a thick stew seasoned with chilies. Serve this stew warm, it’s a filling and economic winter meal that stores well. Chilies keep the sniffles away and help you feel full longer, an added bonus when the winter winds blow

Mac and Cheese

Written by 1 Comment

An American classic that hits the waistline and hips pretty hard! My version softens the blow of cheese by mixing in non-fat cream cheese and parmesan.

Healthy Buttermilk Chicken Fingers

Written by 6 Comments

This is one of my most popular recipes, with adults and children alike! I love the taste of crispy chicken but prefer this version for a healthy everyday meal. I soak my chicken in low-fat buttermilk to tenderize it first, giving it the same tender texture of the deep fried version. If you have a busy schedule, you can soak the chicken overnight and purchase seasoned breadcrumbs instead of making them. Little folk love to eat with their fingers, and this chicken is moist and tender for small mouths!

Balsamic Pasta with Tomatoes, Basil, and Fresh Mozzarella

If you love pasta salad but you’re tired of the same recipe, try this one instead. Perfect for serving at room temperature. Pull it out an hour ahead of time for impromptu parties, picnics, or evening meals on a warm summer night.
