I am a huge foodie, which many already know, but I would not consider all of my dishes to be 100% healthy. I will not skimp on butter, well, maybe a little, but like my Dad butter has to make it’s way into every dish. You might be laughing or about to click the ‘x’ to close my page but I promise that I do cook healthy dinners for my family. There will be an occasional evening where we go around the corner to our fav Mexican restaurant and die of a cheese overload but usually our fridge is stocked with yumminess! My hubby could eat veggies until he turns green in the face so for the most part I cook with a lot of veggies and tend to mask some of their flavors when I indulge. Two of my staples are:
1. Butternut Squash: Anything! I could eat this until I am orange and I always come up with new recipes to incorporate this yummy gourd! Some of my favs include: Giada De Laurentiis’ Butternut Squash lasagna but for a healthier alternative I make this recipe found here. I made Giada’s for my parent’s 40th and it was a hit but unfortunately it hits your waistline as well. For mommy’s with picky eaters either recipe will sneak in some veggie goodness, or, better yet for my single ladies it’s a great entertaining meal.
Some of my other fav recipes
- pumpkin Ravi’s with Gorgonzola cream
- butternut squash tortellini
- yumpkin pasta
- my veggie lasagna
- baked roasted veggie penne
those all look so good!
