Healthy Main Dishes
Penne, Peppers, and Chicken-Apple Sausage Saute
This recipe originated with my son, who makes it with very spicy chicken sausages. I loved it so much that I adapted it to suit our taste. Because my husband prefers less spicy food, I use milder chicken-apple sausage. This is one of our favorite dinners.
Healthier Easy Meatloaf
This no-fail recipe for meatloaf doesn’t take long to make and is healthier with lean ground beef, low-fat milk, whole wheat bread crumbs, some fresh parsley, and carrot.
Delaware Blue Crab Boil
Dig into these Delaware blue crabs boiled in exotic spices. Add your favorite veggies, and treat yourself to a wonderfully delicious crab feast!
Mac and Cheese I
My family loves Macaroni and Cheese! But being so high in fat, I felt I needed to come up with something a little less "fatty" and good tasting too. I also use cooked spaghetti squash in place of the pasta sometimes.
Spelt Noodles
I was making pasta for a friend who is on a wheat-free diet and almost despaired until I discovered white spelt flour. Don’t confuse it and use regular organic spelt flour. Well, you can substitute, but it’s not as much like wheat flour pasta …
Cheesy Pea Pasta
This is a very quick and simple recipe with peas and a cheesy tomato sauce. My mom and grandmother used to make this for us when I was small. Serve with a loaf of bread and a salad, if desired.
Stovetop Beety Ginger Chicken
This is pretty darn healthy, and simple! I just threw this on my pan and it tasted surprisingly tasty, and pink!
Fake Sukiyaki
Sukiyaki for those that don’t like tofu or seaweed. Great for a quick, nutritious supper with lots of natural flavors! Add some diced tomato for added fresh flavor.
Chana Masala
This version of chana masala uses spinach instead of tomatoes, like my favorite Indian restaurant makes. It is so easy to throw together, and pretty healthy to boot! A perfect meal on a cold winter night when served with naan and basmati rice.
Eden’s Nectar Bourbon Chicken
An aromatic and savory mango and peach grilled chicken dish bolstered with bourbon. This recipe is not a quick fix for dinner. I usually prepare my marinade around noon so that dinner is ready right around 6 pm. There are a lot of variables with grilling, ensure you have the proper amount of coals and it is the proper temp or you will mess this dish up.
Oyster Shooters
I made up this recipe during my bartending days. I am not a huge fan of oysters but my customers sure loved it!
Tandoori Grilled Chicken
Lose yourself in a flavorful grilled Indian treat – marinated, char-grilled chicken. Good with warm grilled pita breads and mint chutney!
