I absolutely love breakfast. I’m often struggle when people tell me they don’t like it because, for me, I’m always ready to eat when I wake up. During the week I often eat the same thing (and yes, it’s super healthy…) – sprouted grain toast with peanut butter and a sliced apple. But weekends are … Chorizo and Potato Breakfast Tacos
It’s grilling season (kind of!). I knew that the second the temp reached 50 degrees that I would instantly roll out my Weber. One of my favorite desserts is grilled pineapple – it’s sweet and smoky flavor is irresistible. While great on it’s own, I figured this delicious fruit would also make a great pizza … Grilled Hawaiian Pizza
Stuffed peppers seem to be a very traditional dish, yet I’d actually never tried them until I made them today (And I’m so happy I did!). The original recipe calls for ground beef, tomatoes and rice but I figured I would amp up the flavors a bit with a load of veggies and some quinoa. … Veggie Lover’s Quinoa-Stuffed Peppers
Chicken is one of my favorite proteins to cook with because it’s so versatile. Pan-seared, baked, stir-fried, you name it…I love it all. With that said, I do have some recipes I enjoy above others – one of my those being Chicken Piccata. This recipe is so simple, yet the flavors make it seem super … Chicken Piccata
Right now I’m dreaming of being on the beach with the sea breeze blowing in my face. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to settle for the sauna at the gym for the moment…. But that doesn’t mean I can’t eat like it’s summer! I’m a huge fan of seafood, especially shrimp. Right now at work … Shrimp and Roasted Corn Chowder
Kale is all the rage right now. However, as a dietitian, I’ve known for quite some time that this leafy green rocks! It works well in so many dishes – soups, smoothies, stir fries, frittatas, pastas…you name it. This dish is one of my favorite vegetarian meals and it’s so full of flavor, any meat … Kale and Sweet Potato Rice Bowls with Creamy Peanut Sauce
Crispy, crunchy and gooey. THAT is French bread pizza. This is one of the easiest meals to make and there are so many different ways to top it. Simple cheese and pepperoni is great, but I decided to step it up a notch and create one a little more “gourmet”. Basil pesto adds flavor to … French Bread Pizza with Italian Sausage, Pesto and Tomatoes
Although strawberries aren’t quite in season yet, today I just was craving a big, summery salad loaded with my favorite fruit. As I flipped through this week’s grocery ad at work I noticed a picture of pretzel crusted chicken tenders. From there, I decided to come up with a salad that pulls all those flavors … Pretzel Crusted Chicken Salad with Strawberries and Goat Cheese
Blood oranges are at their peak of freshness right now. I love using these gems in sauces, vinaigrettes and desserts because they add a beautiful color and sweetness. Although I’m not a huge baker (as you guys have probably figured out by now), I do enjoy making sweet treats now and then, especially if they … Blood Orange Cake
Josh and I ate at a restaurant back in Holland (Michigan, not the country – we’re not that cool) over Christmas break that served all kinds of international dishes. The Hungarian beef goulash on the menu caught our eye (and the pickled beets…my absolute favorite) and it was delicious. The caraway seed and smoky paprika … Hungarian Beef Goulash
