Healthy New England Clam Chowder

Visiting Cape Cod at a young age made me fall in love with clam chowder, but as a child, it seems you never have to worry about calories and fat! For the health-conscious, I have created a creamy clam chowder WITHOUT the cream and butter, and you won’t feel like you are compromising on flavor or texture  Serves 3-4

Mango and Cashew Curried Chicken Salad

Nothing says summertime like homemade chicken salad atop crusty whole grain bread or a bed of arugula, and this recipe takes chicken salad to a whole other level of flavor: I use mango instead of grapes for a touch of sweetness and juiciness, crunchy cashews in place of traditional pecans, and a lightened-up dressing using yogurt that pays homage to Indian cuisine! Don’t be intimidated by the list of ingredients, as chances are you have most of these in your fridge or cabinet already  Serves 8 (Leftovers will hold in fridge for 5 days)

Noodles with Sesame Peanut Sauce

This sesame peanut sauce is not lacking for flavor-it’s rich and complex flavors of sesame, soy, ginger, and vinegar compliment the creamy peanut butter for a fantastic Asian-inspired dish. Pair with your favorite noodles, and you have a fantastic dinner ready in 15 minutes!
