Colorful Tomato and Spinach Seafood Pasta

Seafood Pasta with Spinach, Tomato and Basil

Okay, I admit defeat. I just don’t get pasta. You could take this dish without the pasta and it’s 200 calories less per serving. Add the pasta (even better for you whole wheat – not whole grain, but whole wheat -pasta), and the calories skyrocket! I guess for me, [...]

Spinach and Mandarin Orange Salad

I love this salad! It’s always a hit with family and friends. People love the combination of fruit and cheese.

This recipe from 101 Cookbooks intrigued me. Green soup? I love healthy food, but I wasn’t sure if this recipe was just too healthy to make a satisfying meal.

My Take on Caprese

Caprese Salad

Summer has come to an end, but thanks to an unusually warm summer in Seattle, my basil is still growing in abundance, and I still have tomatoes continuing to ripen.

Keeping with my six ingredient cooking challenge, this salad has big flavor with just a few ingredients.

Serves 4

2 medium tomatoes, sliced into 4 slices [...]
