Recipe of The Month!

Last month’s Shape Magazine featured many great Spring hors d’oeurves and snacks that feature healthy veggies, fruits and grains. One of my favorites is the Sweet Pea and Prosciutto Crostini. If you are watching sodium or prefer a vegetarian option, top with some minced red peppers or add a thin slice of parmesan or gruyere cheese. Yum!


Sweet Pea and Prosciutto Crostini

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1-pound bag frozen sweet peas
1∕4 cup water
Zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
1∕2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 whole-grain baguette, cut into 40 1∕2-inch slices
5 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, trimmed of fat and torn into strips
Chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-low. Add onion; cook until soft and browned. Add garlic; cook for 2 minutes more. Add peas and water; simmer for 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add lemon zest and juice; purée until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small saucepan, simmer vinegar over medium heat for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and broil 10 inches from heat until lightly toasted; flip and toast opposite side. Arrange slices on a platter. Top each with purée and a strip of pro sciutto. Drizzle with vinegar and garnish with chives, if desired.

About Me

About Me
Cari Shoemate

Hi! I'm Cari! I'm a fitness star turned Mom of 3 who lives in Houston, TX. Getting fit and healthy is a journey and one I understand well. After graduating from college I worked in a corporate setting for many years and gained a lot of weight and had an unhealthy lifestyle. Finally, after I had enough - I decided to regain my healthy lifestyle that I had in college by fitting in workouts and eating healthier. Eventually, I left my corporate job to become a full-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I also created Bombshell Bootcamp over 10 years ago and it has become one of Houston's top bootcamps! My passion then turned into greater opportunities to write workouts for national magazines, appear on tv doing workouts and speaking about healthy and fitness, making fitness DVD's and working with many celebrities. Fast forward a few years....and then I had my first baby! I'm now a Mom of 3 little ones and try to incorporate healthy living and exercise in our family's lives. Not only do I still blog about workouts and fitness, but I have shifted some to include family fitness, family travel, fashion, health/beauty and general lifestyle.
