Spicy lamb with nuts

The lamb meat is tasty, lean and delicious cooking for longer periods like this recipe. Now combine it with spices to enhance flavor, and nuts for energy.

This Spicy Lamb with nuts is ideal for preparing in winter, as it provides the heat and energy needed to withstand the intense cold. On the other hand, I'm making some changes to the traditional stew that will allow us to reduce the caloric values without reducing taste.

Green risotto

Risotto is a traditional dish of Spain that combines rice with cheese, butter and cream. In this case we will make a healthier version, with some replacements and addings that allow us to maintain -or even increase- the flavor and reduce calories.

I'm also adding vegetables to this Green risotto to reduce the amounts of fat and add fiber, balancing the dish and increasing its variety.

Oatmeal Cookies

Once again I bring you a sweet recipe that attempts to meet two goals simultaneously: Eat healthy and wealthy at the same time, in this case based on the properties that oatmeal gives us.

With this Oatmeal cookies, we have an almost perfect combination of nutrients for a good breakfast, and with a couple of tweaks we can use it for a delicious preparation to enjoy.

Sea kabob

In the summer we don't want to turn on the oven and it's important not to eat foods that are difficult to digest. Today I present an easy, quick and healthy recipe (and also light).

This Sea kabob combines seafood with peppers, rich in fiber, allowing us to enjoy the best Mediterranean flavors with fewer calories. It also includes the benefits of shellfish for the good cholesterol.

And the best part is that we can do all the preparation in the pan or even in the microwave.

Rose juice

I am fully aware that this preparation is an eccentricity. Something that many of you have never seen, and may not dare to prepare.

I only tell you that if you dare, you'll discover a taste you didn't think could exist. With this preparation, you can adde a particular aroma and taste to traditional foods and desserts. And the people who will eat your meals will ask: How did you achieve that unique taste?

Mediterranean Fettuccine

Mediterranean flavors are definitely one of my preferences. They have the great advantage of providing healthy ideas to traditional recipes we usually do, without losing sight of quick preparation and cooking time.

Who doesn't enjoy a pasta meal? Who doesn't enjoy feeling healthy? Who doesn't enjoy a quick and easy recipe? Most Mediterranean preparations have all these features and more.

Spinach and ricotta cannelloni

Another tasty and healthy version of a traditional Italian pasta dish, ideal for a family Sunday afternoon. Spinach and ricotta cannelloni.

My wife is an expert in the preparation of delicious homemade cannelloni. Of course I couldn't help change her recipe to continue enjoying this dish but with a reduced calorie version.

Pumpkin patties

After the eccentric recipe of my last post, I propose you a more traditional preparation in healthy foods. This is nothing more -and nothing less!- than the well-kown Pumpkin patties.

The egg substitution I propose is excellent for people with high cholesterol levels, as well as the pumpkin provides a lot of energy with just a few calories.

Wonton and dip

As you have noticed, many of the healthy preparations that I propose in this blog are not usually known to be healthy by people, but this is not because they aren't, but because they often are associated with sodium canned ingredients, or with excess of chemicals or preservatives.

But these same preparations can easily be replaced or varied, increasing protein and reducing the amounts of saturated fat. So in this case, I will propose an extreme variation of a typical preparation both in America and in Latin America: Chips and dip, but with a substitute that makes up our dish. Wonton and dip.

Quesadillas

In this case I wanted to propose to you a different breakfast. An alternative to begin the day with more energy, with a Latin American style.

Or, if you prefer, you can prepare this recipe for lunch. It is a dish of Mexican origin, with some variations to make it easy and more healthy: Quesadillas.

Chicken with peppers and passion fruit

Chicken with peppers and passion fruit: A recipe with tropical dyes, typical of Central America, all natural and healthy but very tasty and warm.

Simple ingredients like chicken and pepper with passion fruit to add a Latin connotation.

Stuffed peppers with rice and mushrooms

One of the most healthy, rich and nutritious ingredients is pepper. It can be used raw or cooked, with or without skin, and combines very well with salads, cheeses, nuts and rice dishes.

In this case we'll fill them with rice and mushrooms: My uncle used to make this recipe for dinner, so I did a couple of variations to make it healthier and joined it to my diet. So here we go: Stuffed peppers with rice and mushrooms.

Pumpkin and mushroom soup

One of the healthiest and comforting dishes is, of course, soup. A bowl of soup makes us feel at home, make us remember past times, good moments shared with our family or just takes the cold out of our bodies.


In this case, I want to share a delicious, easy to prepare Pumpkin and mushroom soup.

Stuffed round zucchinis

My grandmother used to prepare this exquisite dish whenever my family went to her place for dinner.


It's a classic easy European recipe, but suffered several variations in time. I'm talking about Stuffed round zucchini. 


In this case, I propose a variation of my own that makes it more healthy, but maintaining its taste and originality.

Ricotta pie with green apples puree

This time, I want to tell you about a healthy recipe that I saw on a TV show from a cuisine channel of Latin America (ElGourmet.com).The cheff makes delicious preparations and low in calories.

This is a well-known traditional Italian dish to enjoy a rich dessert after lunch, at afternoon or at a party.: I'm talking about the Ricotta pie.


In this case, also served with a puree of green apples.

Vegetable and cheese burritos by Sattva

A few days ago, my girl and I went to Sattva, a vegetarian restaurant in downtown Buenos Aires City. It's a place we had seen from the outside for some time, and we wanted to know how their food was.


To be truth, I ate a dish that already knew, but with a few subtle differences that greatly enriched the preparation, while maintaining its nutritional and healthy values. I'm talking about a typical Mexican recipe: Vegetable and cheese burritos.

Stew of beans, a Spanish classic

In this case, I want to share with you a Spanish recipe that a friend of mine cooks frequently. It's a Stew of beans, with all the distinctive flavors of the best recipes of Spain but with some changes that make it a healthier preparation.

This dish is ideal for winter as paprika, bacon and beans converge into a intense flavor, ideal for you to warm up and share a good time with your friends or family on those cold and gray days. It's also an easy, two-step preparation that takes time but almost no effort.

Green croquettes

Hello again! In this case, I want to share with you a preparation that I met through my mother, and then I started to cook my own version (a healthier one).


It's a recipe originally from France, also known in Spain and the Netherlands. I'm talking about the Green croquettes. Actually, thousands of variations exists with different fillings.

Cheese stuffed gnocchi with scarparo sauce

This is definitely one of my favourite foods. I met the original recipe at the restaurant of the Italian Club in Pinamar (picture), Argentina, and then I created my own version. I'm talking about the Cheese stuffed gnocchi with scarparo sauce, an even more delicious version of the traditional gnocchi, increasing its taste and quality.

Moussaka, a classic greek recipe

Greek cuisine has the best features of Mediterranean cuisine, which is very healthy and tasty. It also has features of Middle Eastern gourmet culture. Olive oil, tomatoes, eggplants, wheat and cheese are the common ingredients of this cuisine.

The Moussaka is, in principle, a casserole of vegetables and meat (lamb in this case) with bechamel sauce. For those who prefer a vegetarian version, the lamb can be replaced with more vegetables, like mushrooms, carrots or potatoes.

Pork with onions and apples

I have a friend that really likes healthy cooking, and he does great dinners like this one. This is a classic and easy recipe I like to share it with you. Pork with onions and apples.


The pork meat is rich in iron and proteins. It has low amounts of saturated fat and is rich in monounsaturated fat, helping to regulate the cholesterol in blood. It's an ideal meat to replace some traditional preparations of beef. By including vegetables and fruits, we get a complete and healthy recipe and, above all, very tasty.

Vegetable lasagna by Primafila restaurant (Argentina)

There's a famous restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that prepares a delicious and healthy variation of the classic lasagna: A Vegetable lasagna with light tomato sauce.
