Adventure Begins in the Kitchen

Healthy Pants Pizza

July 1, 2010 by foodfash

Some days you crave fatty pants pizza, some days you settle for lazy pants pizza, and the other days?  Well the other days you just need healthy pants pizza.

A few weeks ago during one of my all too frequent grocery store trips, I stumbled upon a sample stand.  And if you’ve been with me to the market, you know that by stumble upon, I mean ran to.  Rarely do I ‘stumble upon’ a sample stand and think “I’m happy I just ate that”.  In fact, before that day, it had never happened – a scrunched face and search for the nearest paper towel is more like it.

To create your own healthy pants pizza, you’ll need:
– 1 Eggplant
– Pizza Sauce
– Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
– Typical Toppings (I chose spinach, mushrooms, and onions)

Thinly slice eggplant.  Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place eggplant disks.  Broil eggplant on each side for about 4 minutes or until browned.  Watch closely as they burn easily, especially the ones in the back!  Cover with sauce, cheese, and toppings, and broil another minute or two until the cheese is bubbly.

Tonight’s meal inspiration stemmed from an article that was sent to me a while back entitled ’10 Ways to Eat Yourself Gorgeous’.  The article was shelved and I’m not certain why.  But from this point forward, food brain-block or not, I will be referencing it quite often.

My plate consisted of broiled salmon brushed with olive oil and fresh dill and boiled artichoke with dill garlic butter for dipping.  The salmon/artichoke combo created a dish rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Protein, Vitamins B/C/D, Magnesium, Folic Acid, and Biotin.  And chances are, if the last sentence bored you, you’re in dire need of a meal like this!

I am beyond pleased.  So pleased, in fact, that I am immodestly giving myself the highest rank on every scale – A+, 5 stars, all 10’s.

Spaghetti? Sort Of…

May 10, 2010 by foodfash

A few weeks ago, a friend suggested a spaghetti squash recipe she made post kicking butt at the Boston Marathon.  I raided her leftovers and knew I’d give it a shot.

After a weekend of birthday/mother’s day glutton, I was craving something veggieful.  And subbing a meal’s primary starch with a veggie?  Well, that sounded right about where I wanted to be.  I scribbled down the ingredients and B-lined it to the market on my way home from the office.

My excitement for the recipe grew as I realized my basket was only lacking two ingredients and I hadn’t yet left the produce department.  And feta and kalamatas?  I barely had to brush the processed aisles to scoop those up!
This dish was a delightful main course, but could also be served along side a lean meat for a more “complete” meal.

Side Note:  Tastes even better chilled the next day.
