Skinny Broccoli Alfredo Bake
I am rather surprised I made this recipe. To be honest, I am really not a huge Alfredo fan. It’s one of those foods I can take or leave depending on the restaurant or who is making it. I find that few people get these sauces right. You know what I mean. The sauce comes all thick and gloppy. I like that smooth buttery sauce. Not too buttery though. I want the bite of the Parmesan and a nice contrast of flavor.
Healthy Italian Minestrone with Tortellini
oups are easily one of my favorite meals. I make Minestrone style soups all the time. My White Bean and Kale Detox Soup is a good example. I am feeling a little indulgent these days with all of the colder weather, so I decided to replace the beans or pasta I would normally use, with tortellini. I’ve seen many versions of soup with tortellini. I think there is no better fit than minestrone for a good cheese tortellini. I call this Healthy Italian Minestrone with Tortellini because other than the tortellini, it’s a really light soup.
