Italian lunch/2 recipes

Fabulous Pasta E Fagioli recipe

Add some variety to your meals with these delicious salad made of collard greens and italian plum tomatoes.

This tomato basil bulgur pilaf recipe kicks things up a notch and is packed with fresh summer flavors. We eat it as a bulgur salad or use it with olive oil and pita as a dip or a side dish.

This is a very simple one-bowl meal, perfect for when you don’t have the time to spend cooking after work. You can easily double or triple the recipe and use the leftovers for lunch the next day.

This smoothie packs a real superfood punch with a combination of wolfberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds, maca and spirulina. Wolfberries, hemp seeds, chia seeds and spirulina are all complete proteins. In addition, chia seeds and hemp seeds are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Maca is a great hormone regulator and has traditionally been used to enhance fertility. Spirulina is one of nature's wonder foods and its GLA content (gamma linolenic acid, an important fatty acid) is second only to mother's milk.

Though not traditional, the addition of 2-3 oz of cheddar cheese to the sauce makes this an extremely tasty dish.

1. After you boil veggies remove and put in the blender and puree. This helps add thickness, especially if you are trying to reduce fat, then add back in. 2. Do not use tomatoes past or food coloring. 3. use lobster stock instead of or to supplement chic stock. 4. Try using Dry Vermouth for wine. 5. I used this recipe and added salmon
