broccoli pea pesto pasta

Broccoli Pea Pesto Pasta is a creamy pasta dish made healthier with broccoli, peas and Greek yogurt.  The peas add a freshness to the sauce and crushed red pepper  gives it a little kick.  This is a delicious way to eat your veggies and quick to make for a weeknight!  {can be gluten free based on pasta choice} On my quest to perfecting this Broccoli Pea Pesto Pasta recipe, I made several batches of broccoli pesto pasta (no peas).  Then I tweaked the broccoli, the yogurt, the cheese, used onions, didn’t use onions, used raw garlic, sauteed the garlic.  Finally I had it –  the  perfect broccoli pesto pasta recipe.  The only problem was when I went to make this ‘perfect recipe,’ we had only  half  a stalk of broccoli.   I couldn’t go to the store because Greta was napping, yet I promised Adam broccoli pasta for dinner (and we all know how easy it can be to explain such things to a 3 year old).  Clearly I had to come up ...

Real Weight Loss Solutions

Much of the weight loss industry likes to focus on overweight Americans. That’s where the money is for them. But the truth is, much of the world is overweight, too. Studies showed that in 2000, 45% of adults all over the world were overweight.

No 1 Fat Cutter Soup Recipe to Lose Weight

Fat cutter soups are becoming popular for their taste, temptation, and the benefits. I hardly eat out, because I like to know what nutrients I am putting in my body. I love cooking for my family and friends. It reminds me of Maya Angelou's quote --- I am just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression. When you start cooking be full of love, compassionate and caring. You are going to prepare meals for your family to whom you love the most. Your spouse is your love and the children are your life. Keeping that bond in mind, be a little creative; put little sincere effort and mix ingredients thoroughly with faith. Blend it with a little tenderness, bring in a little sunshine and sprinkle your love abundantly. While serving food, forget whom you are serving! May it be your spouse, child, a family member, neighbor or an unknown person in the church or a homeless and believe at your heart that you are serving a SOUL, not the BODY. When your children ...
