Zucchini-Feta Pasta (Gluten-Free Option)

By Kelly · 4 Comments


Zucchini is a mild-tasting versatile veggie that is high in vitamins C and A, as well as magnesium and fiber. This quick and easy recipe makes great use of this summer-squash favorite and is perfect for nights when you’re pressed for time to whip-up a healthy, delicious meal.


Time-Saving Tip: Have you heard the term “mise en place?” It’s a French culinary term for having all of your ingredients prepped and ready to go before starting you start cooking. By learning to embrace “mise en place,” you will not only save time, but also greatly reduce your stress level in the kitchen. For this particular recipe, prepping all of your ingredients ahead of time before you start cooking the pasta, will enable you to complete the sauce right about the time the pasta is finished cooking.

Zucchini-Feta Pasta (Gluten-Free Option)

Yield: 5-6 servings

Zucchini-Feta Pasta (Gluten-Free Option)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of your favorite fusilli pasta (we like Tinkyada brown rice fusilli)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium organic zucchini, diced
  • 14 oz diced organic tomatoes with Italian herbs (we like Muir Glen or Eden Organics brand)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh organic Italian parsley, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to directions. (If using brown rice pasta, be sure to thoroughly rinse in cold water once cooking time is complete and return to stockpot, set aside.)
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook about one minute, then add the diced zucchini. Saute for about 5-6 minutes, until zucchini begins to soften.
  3. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir and cover. Allow to simmer over low heat, until zucchini reaches desired tenderness.
  4. Turn off heat. Mix in feta and parsley. If using brown rice pasta, pour zucchini-feta mixture over the pasta and rewarm over low heat.
  5. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Veggie Penne Sauté (Gluten-Free Option)

By Kelly · 12 Comments


This delicious veggie pasta dish is so rich and flavorful – the combination of sundried tomatoes with kalamata olives and artichoke hearts is a real show stopper! And it’s even more delicious as leftovers, as the flavors become even more intense after they’ve had a chance to meld! If you’d like, you can toss in some diced grilled chicken for an even heartier dish.

P.S. This veggie-licious pasta dish made it on the “Top 10 Reader Favorites of 2012!”

Healthier Breaded Fish (GF Option)

By Kelly · 12 Comments


Fillets or Sticks? You decide. Either way, these are are a much more delicious and nutritious option than store bought frozen breaded fish!


It doesn’t take a lot of time to make your own breaded fish fillets (or sticks) and by doing so you avoid all those unwanted additives found even in “healthy” varieties. This is a great recipe to double-up and freeze for later use!

Time-Saving Tip: Make a double batch and freeze. To freeze, simply loosen cooked fish from bottom of the baking sheet, but leave fish on the baking sheet and set aside to cool completely. Then, place baking sheet in freezer for a couple of hours to freeze the fish. Once frozen, place fish fillets (or sticks) into a freezer-safe container and freeze. When ready to eat, simply transfer frozen fish to toaster oven and reheat as directed in the recipe notes below.

Healthier Breaded Fish (GF Option)

Yield: 4 servings

Healthier Breaded Fish (GF Option)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of wild caught white fish (such as cod or dover sole)
  • 2 tbsp plain organic Kefir (or plain almond milk)
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/8 tsp each of the following herbs/seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, Celtic sea salt and fresh ground pepper
  • 1 cup homemade breadcrumbs (recipe includes GF option)
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
  2. In a wide shallow bowl or dish, whisk together Kefir, egg whites and seasonings until slightly foamy.
  3. If you'd like to make fish sticks, cut fish into strips about 2-inches wide.
  4. Place fish fillets (or sticks) into the egg wash and be sure to turn them to ensure they are well coated with the egg wash. Allow fish to sit in the egg wash 1-2 minutes.
  5. On a large plate, add one cup of homemade breadcrumbs.
  6. Remove fish from egg wash, one piece at a time, and dredge through the breadcrumbs, making sure to thoroughly coat each side.
  7. Place fish on oiled baking sheet, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and bake approximately 12 minutes.

Notes

Serve with your own homemade tarter sauce by simply mixing together 1/2 cup organic mayo (or greek yogurt) with 1/4 cup organic ketchup, a dash of dried dill weed and a tablespoon of pickle relish. YUM!

To Reheat Frozen Cooked Fish Fillets/Sticks: Place frozen precooked fish fillets (or sticks) on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
