"Recently started to try and eat the "Clean Living" way, which is to eat food in it's most natural state, without adding too many ingredients. Not a Raw diet, as you cook your food. I got this recipe from "Clean Living" Magazine. It's delicious and once everything is prepped, takes less than 20 minutes to cook! Delicious! This recipe freezes well."

I love cooking and reading cookbooks, I'm always looking for new ideas! Being a true Italian, I have always loved making traditional dishes like Eggplant & Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana with a side of Spaghetti, Manicotti with homemade crepe's (none of those store bought shells for me), Pasta Fagioli and good old Tiramisu! My goal in life is to open a restaurant or catering business. I have been dabbing in catering friends parties now and then, but to do it full time would be my dream come true!
