Alfredo. Need I say more? While you will find similar versions of this dish at lots of restaurants, I was inspired to create this recipe for my first Eat What You Love cookbook after enjoying a creamy plateful of chicken and broccoli Alfredo at a local trattoria. It came as […]

Bourbon Chicken and Broccoli Stir-Fry
When it comes to quick and easy you just can’t beat a dazzling stir-fry. This one combines tender chicken and crunchy broccoli with a Chinese “bourbon” sauce. Interestingly, and contrary to the name, there is not any actual bourbon in the traditional Asian sauce. What you will find is a delectable […]
Easy Turkey Taco Soup
This is one of the easiest soups I have ever made, and it’s also one of the best. Beyond the great taco taste, the soup is high in satiating protein and blood sugar friendly fiber, while low in fat and calories (and points!). When made with a gluten-free taco seasoning, it’s […]
Almond Teacakes
These nutty gems are the perfect teatime treat. Because they are made with more almonds than flour, they are naturally low in carbs and higher in healthy fats, making them heart smart and blood sugar friendly. (A typical frosted sugar cookie has 5X the carbs!). If you would like to […]
Crispy Coconut Chicken
Over the years readers have asked if the amazingly slimmed down Coconut Coconut Shrimp recipe in Eat More of What You Love could be made with chicken instead. The short answer is yes! That said, while a mayonnaise mixture was the ticket for getting the coconut coating to stick to the […]
Cheesecake Party Squares
Whether placed on a platter or served from the pan, these creamy sweet squares are perfect for entertaining. An easy and impressive way to serve them is to place the squares in cupcake liners before placing on trays or buffets. For a pop Christmas color, garnish the tops with fresh […]
Creamy Crunchy Pea & Cheddar Salad
Pea salads, made with mayonnaise of course, are a Southern favorite. The good news is that peas are high in protein, fiber and iron. The bad news is the rest of the customary ingredients are anything but good for you. I must admit I had never had one until I […]
Anytime Cherry Berry Pocket Pies
Foolproof refrigerated pie dough and easy-to-keep-on-hand frozen fruit make these plump home-style fruit pies an anytime treat. I love the mixture of berries and dark sweet cherries, but any type or a blend of frozen berries will do. You can also roll out the pastry circles ahead of time, cover […]
Spicy Sweet Potato Mash
Spicy, sweet, and savory, this sweet potato dish has it all! Using my pureed veggie trick once again, I added canned pumpkin to lighten the load and up the nutrition while taking care to preserve the traditional sweet potato flavor we all love. With just a pat of butter and […]
Skinny Pumpkin Spice Latte – with Whip!
With only 120 calories (with whip!), this luscious pumpkin latte is easy on your waistline – and your wallet! Made famous by Starbuck’s, this holiday season favorite seems to get more popular every year. Unfortunately, with 300 calories and the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar in a small drink, […]
