Quick & Easy Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese
There is no reason to grab a blue box of macaroni and cheese when you have a recipe that is as easy as this and results in something SO much better. This recipe is an updated version of the stovetop macaroni and cheese I created for my first Eat What […]
5-Ingredient, 15-Minute Black Bean Soup for Two
It’s hard not to say Olė to a scrumptious soup with only 5-ingredients that takes only 15-minutes to make. Honestly, “homemade” just doesn’t get much easier—or faster. I use canned black beans for convenience and then combine them with prepared salsa, eliminating the need for several additional ingredients. Not only […]
Wholesome Banana Bread Recipe
Sweet, moist, and with just the right amount of banana flavor – this lightened up loaf (that’s also low in added sugars) has been declared the “best” time and time again. I developed this recipe using a mixture of white whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a wholesome, yet still, […]
CRISPY CHICKEN STRIPS WITH RANCH DRESSING
Fast food found its match in heaven when chicken strips were created. I found my own heavenly match when I tested this recipe in my air fryer. My son James–a chicken strip aficionado– was the judge for the coating. After several tries with various coating mixtures, he declared the simple […]
Asian BBQ Drummies

Chicken Nacho Dip
Warm, creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor, I guarantee no one will ever suspect this better-for-you dip is “light” in any way. The inclusion of both chicken and beans adds plenty of heft while reduced-fat dairy products stealthily curb excess fat and calories. Better yet, with cooked chicken on hand, […]
Easy Eggplant Parmesan
Fresh, easy, and incredibly delicious, this slimmed down eggplant Parmesan can make anyone an eggplant lover. An oldie, but oh-so-goodie recipe, it can be found in my Eat More of What You Love cookbook, and also as a repeat all-star in Eat What You Love Restaurant Favorites. It’s truly a […]
5-Ingredient Spinach-Stuffed Salmon
If you love creamy spinach dip and moist tasty salmon you are sure to love this dish which I created for my book Eat What You Love Quick & Easy. While there is nothing healthier for your heart than salmon, nothing warms my heart more than a fuss-free recipe that can […]
Sweet and Spicy or Cinnamon Sugar Nuts
These sweet savory nuts are perfect for entertaining and great for giving. I first tasted similar nuts at a holiday gifts cooking class taught by a well-known chef. To ensure everyone could enjoy them guilt-free, I re-tooled the recipe cutting out the unnecessary oil while slashing the sugar by more than 75%. […]
