ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meet Michele Romano

Cooking has always been at the heart of Michele Romano’s family traditions.

Raised in an Italian family where recipes were passed down from one generation to the next, Michele developed a lifelong passion for preserving the flavors, techniques, and traditions that make Italian cooking so special.

Over the years, family members frequently asked for copies of recipes that had become favorites at gatherings and celebrations. What began as a collection of treasured family recipes eventually grew into Romano Toscano Top Secret Italian Family Recipes — a cookbook designed to preserve those traditions while making them accessible to home cooks everywhere.

Today, Michele continues to share her love of authentic Italian cooking through her recipes, cookbook, blog, and community involvement.

Michele’s cookbook and recipes have been featured through local television, radio, magazine coverage, and community events, helping introduce authentic Italian family cooking to a wider audience.

Healthy Dinner Ideas

Exposing the Myths

It is cheaper to eat junk food.
I can’t afford to feed my family healthy food on my budget.
It is not more economical to buy a bag of donuts rather than a bag of apples!

Michele Romano Recipes is a place where healthy dinner ideas, family, food and laughter are combined to nourish the body, mind and soul. It is not just about the food……..it is a way of life.

  1. Body: Delicious healthy meals without compromising flavor, enjoyment or comfort.
  2. Mind: Knowledge of herbs, spices, grains, powerful super-foods and the nutritional facts about them. Learning to incorporate these God given treasures into your meal preparation and daily life.
  3. Soul: Immune boosting laughter, positive thinking, inspiring recipes, weekly uplifting quotes and words to nourish the heart. Being healthy on the outside begins with being healthy on the inside.

Experience the joy of preparing healthy meals while spending quality time at the dinner table with family, friends (and yes, maybe even the occasional stranger).

Seasonal Recipes | Cooking With Fresh Herbs and Spices

My passion for learning about health and nutrition began fourteen years ago. I will be sharing throughout my website, Michele Romano Recipes and in my cookbooks, much of the knowledge that I have gained by studying over time. Seasonal Recipes will focus on healthy dinner ideas using fresh seasonal vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices. Look for:

  • Assorted seasonal fruits and berry recipes such as Michele’s huckleberry tarts . (you can’t imagine how good they are!)
  • Elderberries , natures powerful anti-oxident. Free extremely healthy, very tasty, juice recipes
  • Canning and jam recipes. Freezing tips.
  • How to make homemade sauerkraut!
  • Romano bean recipes and growing tips. Check out the Romano’s Romano Bean Story
  • Fresh Italian salads and homemade dressing recipes including fresh herbs.
  • Various Squash recipes such as Michele’s creamy chicken butternut squash lasagna recipe.
  • Plus many other seasonal vegetable and fruit recipes.

Remember, you do not have to be rich or a health nut (but it helps to be nuts!) to eat healthy. Do the best you can with what is available to you. Plant a garden if you can. Even a small salad and herb garden will be beneficial.
