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
Sundays are my favorite day of the week. I have time to catch up on life and cook a hearty, home cooked meal. Today I decided to tackle the Gazette KCRG Cook Club recipe of the month which featured the braising cooking method. Braising is a combo cooking method using both moist and dry heat. … Clementine and Coconut Braised Chicken
February is heart health month! According to the American Heart Association, close to 80 million Americans are affected by some type of heart disease. A healthy and balanced diet needs to include good fats in order to nourish your brain, heart and cells. But how much is too much (or too little)? In an average … Salmon Burgers with Lemon Aioli and Red Cabbage Slaw
I don’t think there is any food my husband enjoys more than chicken wings. Being married to a dietitian doesn’t exactly allow him to enjoy them as often as he would like. I figured with it being game day it was a good opportunity to put a (somewhat) healthy spin on his favorite meal. These … Baked Chicken Wings with Honey and Sriracha
