Fettucine Alfredo with Salmon and Broccoli

We were so excited to discover these organic Explore Asian noodles made from edamame and mung beans. These noodles are absolutely packed with protein and fiber, are gluten-free and allow us to enjoy our favorite pasta dishes while promoting good health. This brand also offers black bean spaghetti, soybean spaghetti, adzuki bean spaghetti and edamame spaghetti. We found a local Costco store which carries certain varieties of Explore Asian noodles.  You can also order them online. There may also be other similar brands to discover. Enjoy!

Jane’s White Sauce

November 17th, 2014 by

I find that I am using this basic healthy white sauce in so many recipes that I wanted to share it here as its own recipe–with measurements.

I make a batch big enough to keep in the fridge and use over a few days in a variety of foods.

So far, I’ve used this sauce in tuna (or salmon) salad, creamy tuna noodle bake, macaroni and cheese, pasta with alfredo sauce, creamy soups, and stir frys. I’ve even been known to use it in waffles (don’t tell my kids).

Let me know how you like it and how you end up using it!
