Recommended Recipes
Tuscan White Bean Tomato and Farro Soup
So I was having guests over for dinner last night and want to keep it simple. A good hearty bowl of soup, a salad, and a blackberry crumble. Nothing too crazy, right? After searching through my pantry and refrigerator, I discovered I had all the ingredients for a Tuscan White Bean Soup. I like this version using fresh Tuscan kale from my garden and healthy nutritious farro. Farro is an ancient grain that is high in fiber, protein and rich in B vitamins.
Tuscan White Beans with Herbed Shrimp
I love this recipe and tend to make it often throughout the seasons. It’s low in fat and keeps you full. I always keep frozen shrimp in the freezer and my pantry is usually stocked with a variety of beans. I really enjoy Italian cooking but found it difficult to find a spice blend that was fragrant and flavorful enough for my taste, so I created the Healthy On You® Let the Good Thymes Roll Italian spice blend. This blend really does it for me with chunks of dried garlic, sage, basil, parsley, marjoram and red pepper and it’s salt-free to boot!
Summer Seafood Soup
I’ve been on Orcas Island, WA for a week now and it just happens to be crab season. This means we can go out on the boat, drop crab pots in the sound and harvest Dungeness crabs. Experienced crabbers drop their pots in the morning and go back out in the evening to pick them up. It’s a tricky game-sometimes you are lucky and sometimes not. You must have a license to drop your crab pots and you must log your catch and mail it in at the end of the season. The restrictions are that you can not remove any females from the sea or crabs smaller than 7 inches in diameter.
