In California we've literally got fresh organic peaches falling from the trees here in the Summertime. The only challenge is to figure out more delicious ways to eat 'em. Here's one more peachy treat, for breakfast this time.
Pizza. It is one of those soul-satisfying foods that is generally the enemy of weight loss due to the huge amount of fat and calories in most pizzas. But when you need it there just is no substitute. That's why I had to create this quick & healthy version.
You can make this as spaghetti or penne as shown here. You just can't beat homemade pasta with a rich meaty sauce. If you haven't had turkey as your meat sauce, you are in for a surprise. It's all in the saute which I shall now demonstrate.
There is nothing better than fresh grilled vegetables, especially when they are seasoned with just the right herbs and spices. In this recipe I use loads of fresh organic basil because the taste and health benefits are endless! Here’s the skinny on the beauty of basil….The French call basil I’herbe royale (the royal plant) and…
Grilled chicken used to be drab. Not anymore – now it's bursting with Mediterranean flavors. You might recognize that gorgeous dark haired sous-chef giving me a helping hand. That's Colleen Williams – the beloved long-time anchor of NBC News LA. Don't just click on"like it", LOVE IT!
Another soon-to-be Summer classic that is bursting with flavor.
One of the best things about summertime is ripe, fresh, sweet fruits. You could try to make this dessert in the winter and it would be pretty good. But in the summer, when the peaches are just bursting with sweet juice and the cherries are blossoming your taste buds are going to freak out!
These make a fabulous Christmas morning treat to go along with an egg white fritatta or they make a delicious, healthy and festive Christmas dessert. I use rich and creamy Greek yogurt from Voskos (available in most grocery stores). Originally from Southern Living magazine.
A hot & healthy Asian stir-fry dinner that you can get on the table in under 10 minutes (and only 1 pan to wash!).
Another one from my forthcoming Haute & Healthy collection. Open-flame grilling takes these boring soft taco shells to crisp-chewy in only a few minutes. If you are NOT a person who has all day to chop, buy salsa and pre-shredded lettuce to save time.
Another one from my forthcoming Haute & Healthy collection. Grilled cheese is a comfort food favorite but you might know that this fried-in-butter sandwich is usually very high in fat. That's why I decided to make it into a healthy version while keeping all the melty, gooey goodness. Fresh organic ingredients take it from ho-hum…
This simple dish is one of my clients’ favorites. It is super quick and easy and who doesn’t love a creamy, fruity treat?

It's not for the faint of heart but this detox shot is loaded with all-natural, potent superfood detoxing nutrients to get rid of the toxins of 2015 and get you started on a healthy 2016.
It doesn't get much easier to make than this. Low-effort, high-presentation, high-taste, and high-health – just how I like it! As seen on The 700 Club.
Yes this one is a little on the gourmet side and takes more time than most of us have on a typical weekday. But that's why we have weekends and holidays. These nuggets are just delicious and look as gorgeous as they tasteIf you don’t have a sturdy muffin tin, no worries: I find that…
Packed with fiber, these Springtime veggies help you lose weight. High-antioxidant content makes them cancer-resisting superfoods. If you aren't a vegetarian feel free to add some sauteed shrimp for a full fledged haute & healthy gourmet dinner.
No question about it, Asian fusion cooking is the hottest, healthiest and tastiest way to eat. Yakitori is the ancient Japanese grilling style for chicken that is subtle and delicious.
One bite. That's all it will take to sweep your taste buds away to the stunningly beautiful Greek islands.Soak up the Mediterranean flavor with this tangy Greek dip that is almost better than being there.I had the pleasure of showing the adorable Kym Johnson from DWTS how to make this little creation for a TV…
