Broccoli Pizza Crust

I feel like I’ve been eating a lot of pizza lately (as I’m sure many of you can relate to). Today I decided to lighten things up a bit by using broccoli as the base. Sounds weird, but it’s actually quite tasty and a fun way to get your kids (or husband) to eat their Broccoli Pizza Crust

Chickpea Pasta Primavera

Even though the weather is still a little chilly out, I have already started to think about spring and all the delicious produce that comes with it. This pasta has a rainbow of veggies and just a touch of cream, lemon and cheese to create a yummy sauce. I used chickpea pasta for even more Chickpea Pasta Primavera

Mushroom Spaghetti with Goat Cheese

I’ve always been a mushroom lover. This pasta is pretty much equal parts mushrooms and pasta because I really wanted to highlight their meaty mushroom flavor. The creamy goat cheese that’s added at the end boosts that flavor even more. Serve this with a side of roasted vegetables or with a lightly dressed green salad. Mushroom Spaghetti with Goat Cheese

Soup is good for the body and the soul on cold wintery snow days when all you crave is comfort food.

Blueberry Walnut Smoothie

One of my goals this year is to add more color to my diet. This may seem like a really weird thing for a dietitian/chef to say, but sometimes nutrition goes out the door when things get busy. Simple recipes like this smoothie are a great way to pack a lot of nutrition into one Blueberry Walnut Smoothie

Date and Goat Cheese Ball

I’m a huge fan of goat cheese and pairing it with medjool dates provides the perfect sweet and salty combo. This cheese ball is the perfect make-ahead snack to share with a crowd. Pair this with some champagne and get the party started! 1. Place cream cheese, goat cheese and milk in a stand mixer Date and Goat Cheese Ball

With Christmas right around the corner, it’s time to get your holiday menu in order. Potatoes are always a client favorite and these crispy mustard and herb potatoes are no exception.

Butternut Squash Curry

I love curries – especially ones that are chock-full of veggies. This dish is perfect to make at the beginning of the week and enjoy for lunch because it will keep you full until dinner time. And it’s a great meal to make for any of your vegan friends or those with food allergies since Butternut Squash Curry
