Valerie Bertinelli’s Soup Recipe
I was watching Good Morning America this morning and saw actress Valerie Bertinelli cooking a low-calorie soup recipe. Bertinelli got the soup recipe from Jenny Craig, of which she is a spokeswoman. Wanna lose 40 lbs like Bertinelli? Recipe is below.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup eggplant, peeled and cubed
- 1 cup water
- 1 can whole tomatoes, no salt added, undrained and chopped (14 1/2-ounce)
- 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained (OR 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small summer (yellow) squash, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning, dried
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 12 oz can chicken broth, reduced sodium
- 8 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly grated
Pico de Gallo and Taco John’s Quesadilla
Menu no. 7 please. That’s the number of Quesadilla EZ combo from Taco John’s in Brookings, South Dakota. The combo is composed of Quesadilla (a delicious blend of cheeses, fresh-made pico de gallo and tangy chipotle cream sauce grilled in a soft flour tortilla with your choice of beef or chicken), Potato Olés, and a soft drink. This combo fills my hungry stomach whenever I am so lazy to go home and cook my food. Yes, this happens once a week!
There are some combos that are just too oily, like they’re deep fried in lard that it loses the natural taste of the food. I love fried food, but not a point that the oil sticks in my mouth.
