Cabbage Rolls

It’s actually pretty easy to make Polish cabbage rolls (golabki) and it’s something I learned while helping my dad when he cooked. The stuffing is a breeze and you can add your own spices as well. My favorite way to serve them is the next day, browned in a little olive oil with a bit of reduced fat sour cream. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Quick Mac & Cheese

Twenty minutes! Four ingredients! That’s all it takes to make this creamy, delicious, low-fat mac & cheese. Use mild or sharp cheddar as long as it’s reduced fat and for the best result, shred your own cheese. Be warned: It’s creamy-good but just because it’s low-fat doesn’t mean you can eat it all in one sitting. I tried… bad idea. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Oven-Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Wait ‘til you see how easy it is to make these healthy, super-sweet fries. Roasting vegetables brings out their natural sugars so they are even sweeter than the fried ones. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Vegetable Pasta

Everyone loves pasta! And this is my favorite way to make it count. Other vegetables I’ve used in this dish are broccolini, green beans, broccoli rabe, and Swiss chard. For extra protein, I sometimes add 1/2 can of drained cannellini beans… that makes a hearty meal. This dish is loaded with antioxidants. Green vegetables protect your eyes, teeth & bones, and they boost your immune system. Broccoli is one of the best defenders against cancer.

Barbeque Chicken Pizza

The only way to get that “wood-fired oven” style pizza is with a pizza stone and paddle. Imagine a crispy, puffy crust with barbeque chicken! Pizza heaven!! But you don’t have to use a stone – you can make the bbq chicken pizza in a regular pan with all the same ingredients. Either way, it’s still pizza. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Homemade Gnocchi

There’s nothing like homemade potato gnocchi. These tender dumplings can be served the same as any pasta… with red sauce, meat sauce, pesto, a little butter & sage, or Polish style with browned breadcrumbs. You’ll need super smooth mashed potatoes and a ricer is the best way to go, not a food processor (too mushy). You can use a masher but make sure they are smooth! And work while the potatoes are hot!

Orange-Sesame Chicken

I love Chinese food but it’s not always healthy, especially orange chicken, which is usually batter fried. I created my own recipe that is really good, healthy, and quick to make. The toasted sesame oil is key and once you do the prep, it cooks in less than 10 minutes. I serve it over sushi rice or jasmine rice so get your rice started first and try a side of steamed broccoli or broccolini. This is really good!

Best Pepperoni Pizza Ever!

Who doesn’t love pizza? I know I do. And I love to be healthy so I made it my mission to find a way to make healthy pepperoni pizza. This amazing crust comes from using a pizza pan with holes (I use a Williams Sonoma “Goldtouch” Nonstick Pizza Crisper and I love it!) A Kitchenaid stand mixer does all the work when making the dough but you can mix it in a bowl and knead by hand. My recipe is low in fat, and so delicious... you’ll see.

Meat Loaf

If they ever have a meat loaf contest, mine would surely win first prize. This is the best recipe from my first cookbook - everyone who makes it raves about it. Make this healthy recipe exactly as described, don’t use a loaf pan, and then wait for the compliments. One more thing: you’d better make some real mashed potatoes to go with it… or else!!

Easy Casserole

This recipe will probably become a family favorite of yours. Everyone who tries it asks for the recipe. It’s hearty, healthy, and very easy to make. I shred my own cheese because I find the pre-shredded ones too dry. I’ve also made this with whole wheat angel hair pasta and even egg noodles. (see my Cooking Videos for a demo)

Chicken Parmesan

My version of Chicken Parmesan is low in fat and really good for you as long as you don’t fry it. Mine is baked. Chicken is a great source of protein for healthy skin, hair, and nails. This recipe takes 40 minutes from start to finish and my favorite way to serve it is with a side of spaghetti sprinkled with extra Parmesan.
