Chocolate Pavlova Pie
Looking for a dessert that everyone can enjoy? Hailing from Australia, a Pavlova is comprised of a meringue shell filled with whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit. Crispy, chewy, and a bit messy, it’s a marvelous treat – and it’s naturally gluten-free! While making the meringue is not difficult, […]
Lawry’s-Style Creamed Spinach
Delicious, silky creamed spinach makes any meal more luxurious. Unfortunately, when made with cream and butter – and as with the most revered creamed spinach, like that served at Lawry’s Prime Rib, lots of bacon — a single 1/2 cup serving of once healthy spinach can serve up over 300 […]
Stir-Fried Shrimp (or Chicken) with Snow Peas
While much of the fare you commonly find on Asian American menus is heavy in sugar, fat, or calories, this lovely dish is an exception. In this easy 20-minute classic Chinese recipe fresh snow peas, juicy shrimp and crunchy water chestnuts are lightly coated in a velvety sauce infused with […]
Marvel-ous Lemon Mousse

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 […]
