Healthy Meal: New England Veggie Clam Chowder

cooking / Leave a Comment

Despite it being almost April, this afternoon I felt a bit of a chill in the air due to some impending rain – and I found myself desperately craving clam chowder. Clam chowder is usually a pretty unhealthy dish, thanks to the potatoes and heavy cream, but I have a ton of Chobani Greek yogurt in the fridge – surely that could be used to thicken it? I drew inspiration from about a dozen online recipes (most notably Rocco DiSpirrito’s and one from the Cliff House restaurant in Maine), and came up with the following recipe that incorporates lots of veggies …

Healthy Recipe: Buffalo Blue Cheese Brown Rice and Crab

cooking / 4 Comments

This morning, I did a Refine Method class at 9:30am, then headed out to run a loop of Central Park with my friend Steph afterward. Having only fueled for all that exercise with a bowl of steel cut oatmeal topped with a spoonful of Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter, I was famished when I got home, and wanted pretty much everything I could possibly think of. The result? This mish-mosh recipe, which makes a massive bowl and yet is pretty darn healthy. (No picture because I wasn’t planning to post it until a few friends asked. That said, it doesn’t come out very …

Healthy Meal: Pan-Seared Scallops with Ginger-Orange Spinach

cooking, running / Leave a Comment

Last night, I skipped my late night workout in favor of trying to get a bit more sleep, since I had woken up tired. That meant I only got in 45 minutes on the elliptical as my total workout for the day. I love that these days I refer to a 45 minute workout as “only” 🙂 I got up again at 7am this morning, but this time didn’t have much trouble getting off when my alarm went off. I considered going for a run sometime today, but what got me out the door was that if I didn’t go …

Healthy Meal: Well-Dressed Salmon

cooking, diet / 2 Comments

After an amazing time at the wedding this weekend – but way too much delicious wedding food and drink – it’s now time for some detox. When most people “detox,” they mean some stupid restrictive diet that ends up with them probably less healthy when they started. My version of detox is far healthier and far more delicious: I just avoid junk food, limit starchy carbs, and load up on the fruits, veggies, and lean proteins. Tonight’s dinner is the perfect example of that, and best of all, it’s probably one of the quickest dinners I’ve ever made: Rachael Ray’s …

Healthy Meal: Brandy and Orange Chicken Breasts Topped with Stuffed Shrimp

cooking / 4 Comments

You asked for it, and you got it: my meals and recipe modifications are back! After a grueling race yesterday (halfway done with the race report), my muscles are pretty sore and in need of some recovery. Combining that with the fact that I have a ton of frozen proteins I want to start using up, the solution was to use crab, shrimp, and chicken in this recipe from Rachael Ray for Brandy and Orange Chicken Breasts Topped with Stuffed Shrimp. I wanted to make the recipe for two servings instead of four, but I also wanted to use up …
