Every once in a while, I crave tacos. It’s a funny thing to crave, I know. But it set in this weekend while I was making my shopping list. So, I wanted to make sure I had a whole30 way of eating these this week. I used lettuce as the taco shell, stirred up a […]
I’m a huge fan of mussels because they’re so easy to make and absorb any flavor you throw at them. This asian curry dish is no exception! It reminds me of my brother, who lives in Japan. He loves strong flavors and spice and would clear his entire bowl of mussels in one sitting. The […]
Tis the season for warm flavors and hot soups. Winter squash makes the BEST soups and this one has an unexpected twist of tofu. Even though there is currently a debate on eating tofu on the Paleo diet, I am ok eating it in moderation from time to time. Adding protein without taking away from […]
Trifle is one of those quintessential British desserts that generally makes an appearance at parties. It always looks more complicated than it is to make, but it’s not! You can just let your friends and family think it was hard to make! Haha! This trifle only needs 4 ingredients: store bought angel food cake (of […]
I had some leftover ricotta after making a number of recipes this week, so I decided to use it to make these amazing lemon ricotta pancakes. They are zesty from the lemon and fluffy from the ricotta and the combination of the two make one amazing breakfast. I like to eat them with fresh fruit, […]
Deviled eggs are some of my favorite appetizers. But, do you ever want to eat one, but decide not to indulge because of all the mayonnaise? Health buffs rejoice! Here is an amazing HEALTHY holiday appetizer – just eggs, avocado, and some toppings. It’s festive and delicious all rolled up into one.
When I was a kid, we had pizza every Wednesday night. It was also the night my dad drank a beer (which at the time I thought was absolutely repulsive – I know better now ;)). It was always a cheese pizza and I absolutely loved it. Growing up in NY, good pizza surrounded […]
By the end of the weekend, we are usually so exhausted, we default to take-out. But because my youngest daughter is finally eating solids, I wanted to introduce fish to Matilda this weekend. So, I bought tilapia for the entire family and cooked hers with nothing on it. I made Amelia’s the same as ours […]
I used to think foods like scallops were the kind of thing only fancy chefs could make and you’d eat in fancy restaurants. Well, it turns out I was wrong! Scallops are way nicer to make at home because you can eat them the second they’re made (which is really the best way to eat […]
Salmon is my go-to fish of choice. I love grilling it, baking it, pan-frying it, eating a smoked lox version of it… you name it, I love it! So I found a fast way of making it without sacrificing taste. Winner, winner, salmon dinner! This salmon is pan-fried and has a balsamic glaze drizzled across […]
