Quarantine Food Pescatarian Style
I hope each of you are home safe and healthy. For those of you that have someone you care about fighting the virus, my heart and prayers go out to you.

I know it has been some time since my
last post. I recently was hired by a weight management company to work as a
weight loss coach. In that I had to travel for training and work with others to
get the center up and running as well as assist with business development.
On
top of my personal training work, recruiting, my personal life had come to a

I didn’t start out as a “Foodie”. In fact, I paid no attention to cooking until
I was in my mid-teens. I mentioned this in a previous post, but what started
this lifelong interest began with a pineapple upside down cake.
I was about 15 if I recall. Kevin was my “heart throb”. As teenage relationships go, we started our
relationship when I was 13 with a ring from a PTBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10554669036340569192noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079726901034297687.post-347031491047842622014-08-28T10:43:00.001-04:002014-08-28T11:01:36.364-04:00Healthy White Bean Burgers
Being a pescatarian, I have found that I often get
into eating phases. Sometimes my meals are more focused on seafood and then I
change back to a more traditional vegetarian focus. Rarely I go the vegan route
but for me that is experimental.
More recently, I have been in my vegetarian phase.
Over the summer, I was grilling a lot, spending time with friends at the pool.

Lee Park is off Turtle Creek Boulevard. It is a very pretty area with azaleas in bloom this time of year.
For the last 25 or so years, short a few, I have spent part of my Easter with friends either watching the parade or having a picnic there while the symphony plays.

Sometimes simple things are the best. One of my favorite “go
to” meals is an easy one; pasta with raw chopped tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives and
goat cheese topped with a little high quality grated parmesan. For the pasta, I
usually choose farfalle. I love the chewy texture with the fresh ingredients.
Sometimes, though I take this meal to the next level. I slow

Are you tired of cold weather? Well I sure am. I am a Florida girl at heart so I don't adapt well to snow, ice and cold. When the weather outside is frightful, my solution is to cook, sometimes bread but always soup.
Years ago I worked at a health food store. I was their soup chef (or in line with Seinfeld, let's say the soup Nazi!).

I accidentally bought some dried soybeans the other day,
thinking I had picked up Garbanzo Beans to make Hummus.
Since I wasn’t familiar with cooking them, I perused the
Internet looking for ideas. What
interested me was a recipe for Roasted Soybeans. I made them and they are now my new favorite “healthy”
snack. No Doritos here. Just protein
packed beans.

As always, I like to make fresh food rather than running to the store for chips and dip.
I made a dip that required a roasted peeled red pepper so I headed down to the grill to roast it. Since I also planned to make guacamole, I grabbed a couple of scallions and a fresh bright jalapeno along with the red pepper.
