Sangria Sisters Chicken and Asparagus Pasta Salad
I first learned of Dreamfields Healthy Carb Pasta by reading Pam T’s entry on her blog, Journey to a Healthier Me. When she got to the part where a 2oz serving is calculated as being 7g of protein and only 57 calories with only 5g of digestible carbs (a patent pending formula), I knew I [...]
Sangria Sisters Spaghetti Squash Bake

It does a pretty bang up job of it, though. Yesterday I whipped up a new recipe and I have to say, it’s my favorite pasta replacement so [...]
Sangria Sisters Quinoa Fried Rice

It is a complete protein source, offers dietary fiber, phosphorus, magnesium and iron and is gluten free. Check out this webpage for more information – it is indeed a superfood.

I did not come up with this. Folks have been baking tortillas for eons to make homemade chips. And recently I ran across a message board post where someone used Flat Out wraps for [...]
Sangria Sisters Gouda & Vegetable Crustless Quiche
I have a new favorite cheese. The CSA gave me a block of gouda at the last pick-up and I scratched my head with what to do with it. For as much as I love and explore produce, I don’t toy much at all with cheese. I enjoyed a few slices by itself and upon [...]
