I always end up with a bunch of leftover parsley or cilantro and I’m never quite sure how to use it up. I saw this quesadilla recipe in my Phytopia Cookbook and thought the parsley spread was a clever way to prevent waste. Turns out that parsley is chock full of Vitamins A, C and Iron. |

Plain yogurt makes a quick and healthy pasta sauce a la alfredo…stop laughing. OK, it’s not exactly alfredo, but it IS tasty. Is there anything yogurt can’t do? |

The standout here is the homemade pizza crust. If you have never done this before, don’t be scared. It’s really easy. The hardest part is waiting for the dough to rise for ~2 hours. |

As you can probably see by the frequency of my posts, I’ve been quite busy the past two weeks. In between all of the extra hours at work and travel I have had little time to grocery shop, nevermind cooking. This is how I make something healthy out of almost nothing. |

I’m all about no-cook recipes right now. It’s been brutally hot and humid here and the last thing I want is to apply more heat by cranking up the stove. I found this recipe on Real Simple and adapted it below. |

A few months ago I was on a muffin kick. I tweaked this recipe until I got it the way I like it, and I swear to you I’m so eager to eat these in the morning that I almost want to wake up early so I can get at them sooner. |

Independence Day is upon us, and I’m feeling quite festive. You probably think there is no way hot dogs can be healthy, and 9 times out of 10 you would be correct. But if you get the low-fat, all-natural, grass-fed, raised-by-nuns-on-a-sunny-pasture-near-a-rolling-creek kind you can still enjoyed those encased meat treats sans guilt. |

This is a weekend meal for me, mostly because it takes about 30 minutes to prepare. I realized when planning for this dinner that I was gonna dirty up quite a few pots, so I made one pot do double boil duty. |

This week instead of cooking I focused on some healthy convenience foods to get me through meal times without resorting to eating out. By the time I get home I feel pretty flattened and have no brain power to cook, which is why this meal requires little mental circuitry to prepare. |

Tonight I got home ready to make a meal I’d been thinking about all day, when I realized that I left the veggies at work. I thought about what I could throw together that incorporates the two things I wanted to get out of dinner, namely vitamins and fiber. Legumes to the rescue! |
