Culinary Adventures With DJP: Creating Culinary Classics the Healthy Way--But Still Bomb Diggity.

Tonight it was my turn to bust out my culinary skills. In our house, we seem to do a pretty good job at helping out and/or taking turns cooking meals. Vanessa and I are still on our cleanse, so I had to be creative and resourceful in order to create a savory meal within our restrictions while also fulfilling the needs of three of our neighbors and friends, Jeff, Bryce and Anthony.

Here is the diced up veggies as they are being sauteed. I'm a huge fan of chopping everything into square cubes that are relatively small so that there is more of a compilation of flavor in each bite.

I used carrots, yellow squash, a yellow onion, yellow and red bell peppers, three garlic cloves, and an assortment of herbs.

In the mean time, Vanessa ran to Whole Foods and picked up a rotisserie chicken for $6.99. It's Rotisserie Wednesday, so they are on sale... and they are moist and delicious!

I added the sauce to the sauteed vegetables.

Boiling the angel-hair pasta.

Using whole grain pasta is a healthy alternative to regular pasta. There is a significant amount of nutrients in the whole grain pasta in comparison to the plain.

This is my favorite brand of spaghetti sauce. However, I am always open to new suggestions. When my garden is fruitful, I will be making my own.

For those who know me, I am very funny about chicken. Specifically, chicken on the bone. The reason why is exemplified in the above photograph. It's just gross: bones, gristle, fat, skin, and the like. It's a dead bird. But tonight, I sucked it up and went to town... Vanessa and Jeff pitched in too.
