Many people think that prepping a healthy dinner is a tiresome thing to do after you just did over 8 hours at work. It should not be. How about cooking your light carbs in less than 5 minutes, add just 2 veggies, 1 herb and a magic seaweed? Sounds easy! I turn to polenta when…

Wholewheat spaghetti with a cheesy sauce infused with seaweed
