Tonight I made a delicious (and healthy) pasta sauce with tomatoes, along with some chopped tatsoi and garlic scapes from the CSA share this week. I usually make higher quality Italian white pasta, even though it’s made with white flour, I find that since we only eat pasta once or twice a week, it’s worth [...]

Plan Ahead Cooking Sunday
Today was another plan ahead cooking day! It’s been very busy at work, so time is limited for cooking healthy meals. I don’t want to revert to my old ways of “convenience” processed food and take-out, so I have been using my slow cooker (crock pot) a couple of days a week. It’s been a [...]

Recipe – Roasted Tomatoes & Spinach Over Pasta
I love roasted tomatoes. I made them by accident a couple of weeks ago, on top of chicken breast, and ever since, I’ve been dreaming about their delicious flavor. Similar to sun dried tomatoes, but even better! So, I the other night, I roasted a batch, added some pasta with wilted spinach and we had [...]
Beware! Ronzoni Smart Taste Pasta Changes Their Ingredients!
Yuck! Most of the time, I use Ronzoni Healthy Harvest whole wheat pasta, but sometimes you just want something that tastes like good old fashioned white pasta, so I also keep Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta in the pantry. I just finished off a box, and glanced at the ingredients list before I tossed it into [...]
