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 Meal: Homemade Veggie Ramen Noodle Soup

cooking / 5 Comments

This morning, our Athleta running group was teed up for our first double digit run: 10 miles! The More Half Marathon is just 3 weeks away, and everyone is doing an awesome job with the training plan. Only two long runs left! Last night I went to Katie’s housewarming party and had a great time, but still made it to bed 11:30pm. 8.5 hours of sleep = bliss! Laura stayed at my apartment so that she’d be closer to the start of the run, and it was fun to have a mini-slumber party (chocolate chip cookies before we went to …

Healthy Meal: West Indies Pepper Pot Soup

cooking / 1 Comment

This soup has been in my arsenal of recipes to try for a few days – it’s extremely different than anything I’ve made before, and included a vegetable I’ve never cooked with. I’ve had taro root bubble tea, but never tried it in cooking, and I decided I was game for the adventure. When I went to the grocery to buy the taro, it rang up as “malanga,” which I tried to tell the cashier wasn’t the right thing. He assured me that “malanga” was just the Spanish word for taro, but a search on The Cook’s Thesaurus taught me …

Healthy Meal: Gumbo Z’Herbes with Red Beans

cooking / 5 Comments

I knew I wanted soup for lunch. I also knew I wanted to use up the rest of the collard greens in my fridge. Searching on Food Network, I found a yummy-sounding recipe from Gourmet Magazine for Gumbo Z’Herbes with Red Beans. I had no interest in making 10-12 servings of this, so I used the recipe just as a guide for flavors while I made up my own proportions. My directions went as follows: Boil about 4 cups of roughly collard greens in a pot of water (didn’t measure the water). In a frying pan, mix 2 tbsp olive …

Healthy Meal: Portuguese Sausage and Greens Soup

cooking / 5 Comments

For this weight loss challenge to work, I can’t just exercise; I need to make sure I’m eating healthy as well or all those hours spent in the gym will be for naught. I’m trying to stick to a mostly low-carb diet (I’m still eating plenty of fruits and veggies, but avoiding potatoes, grains, etc). For lunch, I pulled up my Food Network Recipe Box and found a soup recipe I had saved in November 2007 (yeah, I’m about as caught up on my Recipe Box as I am on my Google Reader). Having neither chourico or kale, I substituted …
