Healthy Recipes

Many of us make a New Year's resolution to eat lighter and healthier. Or, perhaps, we just want to take off those extra pounds accumulated over the holidays. The most important concepts of a healthy diet are moderation and including healthier ingredients without sacrificing flavor. These recipes, some of which are based on old recipes from my mother and grandmothers, provide healthier choices. They include tips for using more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, as well as reducing fats and substituting good fats in most of your cooking. Once you learn the techniques, you can change almost any recipe into a healthier makeover version.

Hearty Stew, Soup and Chowder Recipes

When the weather turns cold, I crave heartier meals. Stews, soups and chowders are some of my favorite winter weather recipes. Some are quick and easy, others a bit more labor intensive and slow cooking. Most make a delicious one pot meal, perhaps with some crusty bread or a salad on the side. I always look forward to the opportunity to make my old standbys, or have fun and create new dishes. Most stews and soups, as well as some chowders, are even better made a day or two ahead and reheated, so they can be prepared when you have some free time. Many freeze well. So, browse through the recipes, find a few favorites and enjoy!
