Recipe by Registered Dietitians Symone & Chantel – Double Dose of Vitamin C
Instead of adding heavy cream to this Roasted Red Pepper and Mushroom Penne with Shrimp we’ve opted for whole milk (3.25%) so that it contains a little less saturated fat and therefore can be a more health conscious, yet still indulgent, option when craving something creamy and cozy. As the temperature drops, this dish will feel like comfort in a bowl!

Are you a big fan of salty snacks? My weekend go-to’s tend to be a bag of chips or the pickle jar! Seriously, even when I try to be healthy and eat a salad, I load up on the sodium-packed salad dressings. Friday nights for me tend to be my pizza night, which of course also has a high salt content.

One of my favourite mushrooms to eat in the summer has got to be the Portabella Mushroom. Since they are such a large mushroom, they tend to lose much of their moisture during growth. This lack of moisture is what gives them that meaty texture and makes them an excellent substitute for meat and a vegetarian’s best friend. In the summertime, I simply can’t say no to a Portabella Burger or a Stuffed Portabella, especially when they are jam-packed of all that good-ness – and I don’t mean just the yummy filling!
