Grilled Lentil Salad
Hi friends! Sometimes the most delicious recipes come out of thin air. Case in point: grilled lentil salad. Last week my hubby and I were at a loss for what to have for dinner. I didn’t want to go to the grocery store because I had a full fridge. The problem was, I went to...
Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
Happy Friday! Hope you are enjoying a bright, sunny day like I am! If not, whip one of these, close your eyes, and I’m pretty sure you’ll be on a tropical beach somewhere! I love brussels sprouts. I make roasted brussels sprouts all the time. But I haven’t branched out into other cooking methods much....
Greek Bulgur Salad
Why hello. Do you ever have one of those weeks where you’re never quite sure what day it is? For example, every day this week I have thought it was actually the next day. I was positive it was Wednesday on Tuesday. I did my Thursday gym routine on Wednesday (yes, I have different activities for each...
Quinoa Salad with Sweet Potatoes, Apples, and Kale
Hi guys! I really love finding a recipe that is just as good on day 2 or 3 as it is on day one. Since I’ve been eating this salad every day this week, I’d say it fits the bill!! This salad is pack with so much fantastic-for-you foods, I don’t feel the least bit...
Mashed maple sweet potatoes with toasted pecans
Why hello! I’ve been thinking orange lately. My hometown team, the San Francisco Giants are playing some amazing baseball and electrifying the Bay Area with Giants fever! So, I’ve been busting out every orange and black item in my wardrobe, pulling on my panda hat (yes I really own one!), and eating everything orange I...
How to…Roasted Garlic
I love garlic. Like, kind of inappropriately. You know that guy in high school who was oh so dreamy but you knew would be bad news down the road, but you made out with after the football game anyway? That’s garlic. I know I am not going to be loving it so much when I’m...
Heirloom Tomato Stack with Basil Oil and Fresh Mozzarella
Hi! Well guys, I’ve changed my mind. Just a few days ago, I was all ready for fall to start. Now, with grey clouds overhead and a sweater on, I want my summer back! Don’t get me wrong, I still love fall. But I also really love summer, and more specifically, summer food, and more more...
Chimichurri
Hey there! We’ve been grilling fools lately. We should really just keep the charcoal going round the clock so the ol’ Weber can be ready at a moment’s notice. Grilling is just my all time favorite method of cooking. Period. Especially in summer when you can stand outside, it’s still warm, and preferably you have...
Mediterranean Farro Salad
Happy Friday! My love affair with farro is currently at an all time high. I am pretty sure my husband is getting jealous. Well not really, he’s just losing his farro-loving mind. Here is an excerpt from an actual conversation we just had (keep in mind I had just made some ricotta cheese): “Hey, do...
Spicy Black Bean Dip
Happy Monday Folks! I love dips. All kinds of dips. Especially versatile dips that you can eat with a variety of “dippers.” This spicy black bean dip fits the bill perfectly! Plus, with only FOUR ingredients (and all the work done by the food processor) it comes together in a snap. When you put the...
Spinach, Farro, and Marinated Beet Salad
I love salad. I eat it almost every day, usually a little side salad before a meal drizzled with my favorite flavored balsamic vinegar and trowing in whatever I have on hand. But sometimes it can get a little (eek!) booooring. As much as I love my Costco sized Earthbound Organics mixed greens pack, it...
Fiesta Bean Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing
Happy Friday! The weekend is so close I can taste it! Or maybe that’s this amazing Fiesta Bean Salad. Either way, it’s delicious! Better yet, combine the weekend and this salad and you are set! I had such a great response to this salad after I gave you guys a teaser, I decided to save the...
