Recently I had the opportunity to try the new Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy pasta sauce. Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy pasta sauce is the first major line of pasta sauce fortified with DHA Omega 3, which is essential to heart health…something we all need to be more concerned about. And when you don’t have to sacrifice taste, it gets even better. 
We all loved the Tomato & Basil! The flavor was great, very rich and tasty! And the color…well, you can see…fabulous! I am not really sure why, but the color of food matters to me. It just enriches the experience, and makes me happy.
My kids love to have fresh Parmesan cheese on their pasta, as you can see…Tate likes ALOT of it. It does look pretty though. Other than the cheese, we didn’t add anything to the sauce and as I said, it was great. I usually feel that I have to add a little salt but with the Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy sauce I did not. The flavor was so good that it didn’t need any additional seasonings. I can’t wait to try it in a pasta bake!
Francesco Rinaldi pasta sauces have been adding authentic Italian flavor to dinner tables for over three decades and now that rich taste just got better for us. The ToBe Healthy line offers 64 mg of heart healthy DHA Omega 3 with no saturated fat, cholesterol or added sugar with each serving. In addition to that…each variety only contains 70 calories or less per serving, has reduced sodium AND is a good source of Vitamin C!
The Francesco Rinaldi ToBe pasta sauces have also earned the Good Housekeeping seal of approval and are certified by the American Heart Association. They are available in stores nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2.49 for a 16 ounce jar. For more information and health benefits regarding the Francesco Rinaldi ToBe Healthy line please visit www.FrancescoRinaldi.com
I was provided with a jar of sauce and some information thanks to Francesco Rinaldi to help facilitate this review. I was in no way compensated for this post and all opinions are those of my own and were not influenced by the receipt of the sauce or by any outside source.

This is some goood stuff! Great for a quick meal, an impromptu get-together or just to impress your friends and family.
1 pound of uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deviened
2 TBSP. good quality olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBSP minced fresh flat leaf parsley
Cooked Pasta or Rice
In a large skillet saute the shrimp in the olive oil for about 3 minutes. Add the garlic slices, lemon juice, cumin and salt. Cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink. Stir in the parsley.
Remove the shrimp from the pan. Place pasta or rice on plates, Spoon the juice from the shrimp onto the pasta or rice, then place shrimp on top.
I served it with a side of roasted asparagus…and oh my goodness…it was wonderful. Makes me really glad that I decided against Fastin this week. You could do any side, but I think it calls for something light, broccoli, roasted squash, etc.

Eden Organics that is. I am trying my best to steer away from all of the over-processed foods. I am trying to go as natural as I can for many different reasons. Health being the number one. I think that we have come to a time that we put so many chemicals in our bodies that we are just asking for trouble. Yes, it is easier to buy foods that way. Yes, it is cheaper to buy foods laden with chemicals that have been processed. Yes, they will last until your great grandchildren’s children die. But what do they do to you and your body? What do they do to the health of our children? It is scary. Our bodies should have so many preservatives in them at this point that we should be preserved for generations to come.
Eden Organic Foods is clean and healthy. No foreign chemicals to wreak havoc in our bodies. And, everything I have tried…TASTES GREAT! We have been using all of their whole grain pastas.
