I love pizza, but I’m usually not full after just one piece. This frittata has all the wonderful flavors of my favorite mushroom pizza but without all the simple carbs. We enjoyed eating this for breakfast, but it’s great for any meal! I like serving mine with fresh fruit on the side for a sweet … Wild Mushroom Pizza Frittata with Arugula and Shaved Parmesan
Meatballs are always a client favorite. With the Super Bowl right around the corner, these would be the perfect appetizer to bring to your party.

Sheet pan dinners seem to be all the rage right now – and for good reason. Who wouldn’t love a meal that requires nearly no clean-up? This meal is one where the oven really does most of the work for you.

I’m always quick to use canned beans for the convenience, but this weekend I bought some organic dry beans from a local farmer and I’m so happy I did!

Even though they may not be in season, I couldn’t resist roasting up some sweet corn and tomatoes to go with the crab meat (definitely keep this recipe on hand for the summertime when the corn and tomatoes will be perfectly sweet). This alfredo sauce is a bit lighter than the traditional recipe and I … Crab Alfredo with Roasted Sweet Corn and Cherry Tomatoes
I’ve made lots of tofu dishes in my chef career. I like it so much that I’m actually teaching a tofu themed cooking class this month! It’s such a versatile ingredient and I love the texture that it brings to stews and stir-fries. This heavily spiced tikka masala dish is bursting with flavor and is … Tofu and Chickpea Tikka Masala
I am a huge advocate of adding plant-based meals to your diet. Not only are they cheaper, but you feel nourished and satisfied every time you eat them.

I have a father who loves (and I mean LOVES) blue cheese. We always get him a block of good blue cheese for Christmas and his birthday (who wouldn’t love cheese as a gift?).
