This was a DEMO for Simply Healthy Cooking with Pam back in September 2009. Carrie Montoney, video editor & videographer, and Pam Groth, founder of Simply Healthy Cooking with Pam and Deaf Positive Attitude Health, got together and to test out their collaboration in filming a cooking episode. Again, this was just a trial test, […]
I think that Mexican food is everyone’s favorite, but we do know that sometimes Mexican food can be high in fat, calories, and carbs if we make the recipes with flour tortillas, beef, and lots of cheese. I found this recipe years ago in a magazine called Taste of Home “Light & Tasty” and modified [...]
I saw this recipe on the food channel one Saturday morning. The show was about eating healthy with Ellie Krieger and the recipe looked amazing. I thought it would be a good Football or card party kind-of-an-appetizer since most appetizers served at events tend to lean very heavy on the calories. I tested the recipe, [...]
Today was such a depressing rainy day. The skies loaded with white snow clouds and wind. Yuck! I was missing summer today. I miss the warm sun on my face. For dinner, I threw together in a sauté pan heated up with olive oil some of my favorite vegetables; white corn, Edamame, zucchini that I [...]
It’s a new year. Simply Healthy Cooking with Pam has been going strong since December 30, 2009. I cannot believe that I passed the 4 year mark. Lots of changes and learned so much about food. I have been slowly changing my food diet to reflect more vegetarian / vegan recipes. I am experimenting with [...]
Roasted or baked pie pumpkins are so easy to do. Some cut the pie pumpkins in half and scoop out the pulp and seeds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast the pie pumpkin in a 400 degree oven until soft is one way. I am lazy; I just want the [...]
Today was a very busy day for me. I had a presentation I needed to prepare for and I did not have time to really cook anything. I put a couple nice sized potatoes in the oven to make baked potatoes and loaded them up with broccoli and Parmesan cheese. I had some baby spinach [...]
I have a pretty extensive cookbook library and one day I was walking down my hallway in my home where all my books are stored and I saw out of the corner of my eye “The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook” by Nancy Harmon Jenkins. Thumbing through the book I came across a recipe with garbanzo [...]
I prefer making pumpkin recipes from pie pumpkins versus canned pumpkin. I think that the flavor is more intense and brings a lot of depth to the recipe. Every year I try to roast quite a few pie pumpkins, puree them and put the roasted pumpkin pulp in freezer bags and store them for future [...]
I think that zucchini is my all time favorite vegetable. I am always trying out new things with zucchini. The market had a huge sale going on for the vegetable so I purchased quite a bit not realizing that I had too much. I had different veggies in the refrigerator so I decided to make [...]
I am always looking for different kinds of salads to make especially in the summer when Farmer Markets and vegetables are in abundance. The varieties of vegetables are endless. My all time favorite vegetables I think are corn, tomatoes and zucchini. The combinations are just so appealing to me. I made this salad when I [...]

Well, summer is here and the taco road trucks are out. A friend who is a foodie like me was ranting and raving about a local taco truck and mentioned something about strips of beef and brown sauce in a flour tortilla and some onions. We were supposed to go one day for lunch but [...]
I had quite a few avocados that I purchased on sale so I thought I better try and use some of them up. I was not in the mood for a super fancy breakfast/lunch kind of meal so I made this simple dish that did not take up a lot of my time as I [...]
As always, I am trying to cut down on eating a lot of potatoes. I came up with this recipe on one of my searches for good healthy food. I found a recipe on the blog of “Joy the Baker” and I tweaked quite a bit of it as I wanted to be really careful [...]
I do not know about you, but when I hear the word salad, I think greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and all the other fresh vegetables that go in a bowl, tossed and drenched in dressing. Today is an overcast, icky day in Columbus Ohio so…… I thought what a better way to cheer up myself on [...]
I am always trying to find decent vegetarian burger recipes for me to eat. My biggest frustration is keeping the patties together when I am cooking them. I found that the best way for me to cook veggie burgers is to put them on my stone and bake or broil them in the oven. This [...]
I have been searching for some decent vegetarian or vegan Shepherd’s Pie recipes because the meat Shepherd’s Pie is extremely high in fat and is really not good for me. I have not found anything that seemed interesting or appealing to me so I decided to make my own after endless searches. Many of the [...]
One of my weaknesses is potatoes. I love potatoes. If I could eat potatoes every day I would but I cannot because of my diabetes. So….. looking at other alternatives, I have been searching. Sweet Potatoes are one of the things I eat quite a bit because of the nutritional value and it does [...]
I do not eat a lot of pasta because it causes my sugar to rise rapidly but every once in a while I do crave Italian food. I decided to become ambitious one day and attempt to make ravioli for the second time in my whole cooking life. I love spinach in anything so I [...]
Sometimes there are traditions that we become die-hard fans and follow so faithfully year after year. Mine is black-eyed peas (for luck) and rice, a green salad or “green” something for money, and of course the latest we have adopted is no laundry on New Year’s Day because it is bad luck. My year 2011 [...]
This recipe is an easy and faster way to enjoy a semi-healthy dessert without going through the whole apple pie preparation. I changed some things from the original version in the Pampered Chef cookbook to suit my tastes. I often make this with an olive oil crust or if pressed for time, I buy the [...]
Cornbread I love. I like it with my vegetarian chili, sweet potato black bean hash, and in my cornbread sausage stuffing. Sometimes, I like a different flavor to the carb-loaded table at Thanksgiving time and this stuffing just hits the flavors all the way around and compliments all the other dishes such as the turkey, [...]
Some of my favorite foods and recipes are breakfast dishes. I mean don’t get me wrong I do love lunch and dinner but there is just something about breakfast. Thanksgiving week was always hectic for me because I am always cooking and shopping for 2 or 3 days straight. Today was not like that. I [...]
Another one of my favorite breakfast foods is roasted red potatoes. I often make the potatoes with different herbs that I have on hand. Rosemary is my favorite. I did not have many herbs this time so I just used simple things I had on hand in the spice cupboard, garlic and onion powder and [...]
Comfort food sounded good on this dreary November day. It was a cold, windy and rainy day and I was in the mood to make something that was stick-to-the-ribs kind of filling. I wanted to try and keep the dish more geared to healthy and I think I succeeded to a degree. There is still [...]
