CPK’s Tuscan Hummus Made Skinny

Saturday, June 30th, 2012

My family loves the Tuscan Hummus in the California Pizza Kitchen’s Cookbook.  It’s made with ingredients that are really good for you.  What makes it uniquely Italian is using white beans instead of garbanzo beans, found in a traditional recipe. It’s loaded with fresh garlic, Tahini, olive oil and seasonings.  My skinny version retains the [...]

Skinny Tip of the Day

Monday, June 25th, 2012

Summer ripe tomatoes are really quite something. They are one of my favorite things about summer…They’re made even more luscious and healthy with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It turns out that the oil helps your body absorb the tomato’s potent fat-soluble antioxidants, lycopene and other carotenoids, which benefit every organ in the [...]

Skinny Tip of the Day

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

Spinach is loaded with vitamins A and C as well as minerals including iron. Great news too-serving it with a little lemon not only brings out the flavor, it also changes the form of iron in the spinach, making it more easily absorbed. This healthy benefit also applies to other dark greens such as arugula. [...]
