I grew up in an Italian/French household and pasta and dessert were staples. I really love both but as we know they can pile on the pounds. When I can, I try to subsititute healthier ingredients. Spaghetti Squash is really easy to use in just about any dish in place of pasta. A word of advice the trick is to make sure you cook spaghetti squash ompletely before breaking into strands.

The addition of the bok choy and zucchini not only makes this dish healthier but also satisfying.

I prefer it hot but is also great cold.

ENJOY!

I love broccoli and this crispy variety is so satisfying! It is great paired with the sauce and Israeli Couscous and is also perfect as an entire meal when you add simple sliced tomatoes or a side salad.

Because of the frying, this dish is more satisfying. A note, make sure your oil is hot before adding the broccoli so it doesn’t absorb too much grease and also completely dry so the grease does not splash.

I love oatmeal! Oats are a rich source of fiber and also contain calcium and potassium which can help reduce blood pressure. However, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies should not be considered a “health food” but they offer a much better nutritional profile than a chocolate chip cookie or piece of banana cream pie.

As with everything, try to limit your serving size and be conscious of the sugar content. I make a big batch, keep out a few cookies and freeze the rest. They are easy to defrost and make a great accompaniment for a cup of afternoon tea (since the origin of the Oatmeal cookie dates back to Great Britain), or to satisfy a late night sweet tooth!

ENJOY!
