I Have Super Bowl Soup!

January 30, 2015 By Denise Costello

Hello Healthy Eaters! I know I'm popping in during the last quarter, but I had to share this yummy recipe. It would be great to serve during the Super Bowl. I like to offer some sort of soup or stew because it's an easy way to slip in some veggies and can be made ahead of time, so I can enjoy the game, too! My goal was to create a dish that felt like you were eating something indulgent and not "healthy". Tested out by son Patrick -- it got a big thumbs up! So put away the chicken wings ...

Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season when we have a few more things on our plate (ha! a little pun there :)). We have busier schedules, less sleep and are exposed to more people -- all of which can set us up for illness and feeling stressed out! At times like this, you may be tempted to ditch the fresh real food and grab a quick processed snack or carry-out meal. It may feel like we are making our lives a little easier, but actually, we are really making matters worse! ...

Labor Day Menu

August 27, 2014 By Denise Costello

Labor Day weekend means it’s the end of summer :( Although it was fantastic, I have to confess that I am looking forward to September. I actually think it’s one of my favorite months - the weather, sense of a fresh start, and the overflowing bounty of fruits and vegetables found at the farmers market. Right about now, you may be tired of the burger and potato salad scene and ready to try something new. Is the crazy schedule of getting everyone ready for school making it hard to plan for your ...

Dinosaur BBQ’s Mojito Chicken

August 15, 2013 By Denise Costello

Dinosaur-BBQ-Mojito-Chicken

My neighbor Ben turned me onto this recipe. We are both fans of the Dinosaur BBQ in upstate New York  – a favorite hang of bikers, too! If you are ever in Syracuse or Rochester, NY – check it out. I love it, especially on the weekend when having guests. It’s one of those dishes that you can get started in the morning, let it marinate all day, and just pop in the oven when the guests arrive. You don’t even have to hang out by the grill! The chicken is a crowd pleaser because it is so ...
