Asian-Style Capellini with Ginger and Vegetables

I miss summer. I miss summer for all of the reasons I like summer, but I also feel like a saner person during the summer. From June through September this year, I did a great job at eating healthy, working out almost every day and doing all of the things you’re supposed to do when you have about 60 pounds to lose. Then, like clockwork, October rolled around and I completely lost my momentum. I’ve maintained a 20 pound weight loss (only 44 more to go!) but for whatever reason, the changing seasons completely zaps any motivation that I have to get to the gym regularly, cook more at home instead of resorting to ordering food delivery every other night and eating foods that make me feel good instead of foods that make me say “why did I eat that?” That is why the world needs more healthy, hearty pasta dishes. This capellini pasta recipe is an adaptation of a recipe from a Weight Watchers cookbook and is one of three that I shared this morning on a CBS Chicago segment about healthy swaps to make in your favorite pasta dishes. There are a lot of ingredients I love in the […]

Tri-Color Roasted Cauliflower

I’d never understood when people would tell me that they didn’t have time to cook. If you have time to eat, then you probably have time to cook. Well, it turns out there are people who don’t have time to eat and I’ve become one of them. Between my restaurant job, client work and writing I clock in about 120 hours of work per week – which is enough work for three people. Which leaves less kitchen time than I’m used to. So, I understand what people say when they claim that they have no time to cook. Working in a restaurant, I can usually eat at work and when I wake up, I’m typically too tired to want anything heavier than coffee and cereal or a Luna Bar. Sad, but true. But, no matter how much I work, I’m not happy unless I’m dirtying at least half of the dishes in my kitchen on a daily basis so I have been cranking out some of my favorite recipes – new and old. If you don’t have a lot of time to cook there is no law that says you need to create entire, elaborate meals, even though you might […]

Baby Spinach with Warm Olive Oil & Walnuts

Last week I posted a recipe for Pork Tenderloin with White Wine Dijon Sauce and Apples. Well, let me tell you, the recipe is nothing without a side of Martha’s very own baby spinach with warm olive oil and walnuts. Leafy green vegetables tends to get ignored around Thanksgiving. Even when served, they tend to get buried underneath goodness like butternut squash and cheddar cheese. So, in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, if you know you’re planning to overindulge on carb-heavy side dishes like whole wheat dinner rolls and cornbread stuffing, pile on the veggies in the days preceding the holiday. I could eat spinach at every meal: in omelets, in salads, in pasta sauce. If you’re not a spinach fan like I am, you can still find colorful, nutritious vegetable side dishes to eat before (or even after!)
