Antioxidants are the body's only way to combat the harmful oxidative effects of pollutants and sun damage at the cellular level. Their advice is to eat…
Back to school puts me in a brown bag mood. I filled these mini bags with these tasty, fresh, lo-cal treats. Perfect for your hard-working student.
Remember the sound of the Ice Cream Man? I remember all us kids went running for a dollar and our bicycles when we heard those chimes. Remember Rocketpops? Well here's my little healthy throwback.
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.
Use different sizes and decorations to make little holiday "families" out of these cute little gingerbread people. I added some healthy twists to make them festive, fun and full of nutrients. Thank you to Cooking Light for the inspiration for this recipe.
It wouldn't really be Christmas without frosted Christmas cookies. Lemon makes a delicious new flavor twist on this traditional favorite. Another great recipe I modified from Cooking Light.
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.
Freedom! Not just freedom to light fireworks and live in a free country, but freedom from fats and calories and freedom to shamelessly run around in your swimsuit!
A back-to-school treat! Blueberries are one of the world's most powerful and antioxidant-rich superfoods. Summertime is berry season and there's still no tastier way to enjoy super juicy fresh blueberries than good old-fashioned blueberry muffins. But how about sugar-free, fat-free healthy ones that are super-moist and delicious?These high fiber low fat muffins are a much…
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.

Guiltless Grilled Cheese with Roma Tomatoes and Fresh Organic Oregano
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 one is from my forthcoming Haute & Healthy collection and is sure to please pretty much everybody.If you like gluten-free, if you like all natural and organic, and if you just love gooey, delicious brownies, these luscious treats will make Valentine's sweet.
This is a KLOVE Food Swap from listener Jessie Bonebrake (wow what a name) who had a favorite enchilada recipe that included 5 cups of cheese and an entire bag of Doritos! Here's my healthy version.
This simple dish is one of my clients’ favorites. It is super quick and easy and who doesn’t love a creamy, fruity treat? Better yet – with Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, it is high in animal-friendly protein. Nutrition Facts per serving: 299 cals., 21 gm protein, 46 gm carbohydrates, 7 gm fat. 1 serving…
I made over this fantastic Thanksgiving treat. Now it is super-quick and delicious. For this high-protein, healthy alternative I use the fantastic honey vanilla bean flavored Greek yogurt from Voskos (available in most grocery stores). It actually stands alone as a balanced, healthy half-meal on its own! So prepare this in advance and store it…
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.
