Summertime means lots of fresh melons and berries which are sweetened naturally by the sun this time of year. There’s nothing like a quick summer salad for lunch when you don’t want to be wasting time cooking in the kitchen. This salad is easy to make, refreshing and light. The ricotta and honey add another […]

Summer Steak Salad
Firing up the bbq in the summer is so much easier than cooking indoors because you get to enjoy all the fresh air without being cooped up in a hot kitchen. Steak cooks up so quickly too, so while the grill is doing all the work, the rest is just assembly. Today, I walked through […]
Chicken Sausage Flatbread with Watermelon Salsa
We’ve been having some crazy storms here in the Northeast the past few days and all I want to do is sit and stare out the window instead of cook. Soooo it’s another quick dinner this week. This is one of those dinners I used to make after a long day of working in the […]
Chicken Fajita Salad
I really struggle with cooking dinner on Thursday’s because I desperately want it to be the weekend and I’m so tired come this part of the week. So I usually try to plan something quick, easy and healthy for Thursday’s. I love a good warm salad, so this fit the bill for being tasty and […]
Watermelon Steak Salad
I’ve had a few decadent meals in the past week, so I wanted to lighten dinner up a bit tonight with a (gluten-free) healthy dinner. It’s very filling and satisfying, but not in a way that will weigh you down. Even though salads can be tricky for kids, I tend to deconstruct it and give […]
Caprese Zoodles
When the weather warms up, I love making fresh everything! I love fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and fresh made mozzarella. Those three loves make the best caprese! And if you top it with olive oil or balsamic vinegar, well, that’s just the icing on the cake. Here, I’m lightening it up using zoodles instead of […]

Back in November, I shared a great how-to on how to make a cheese board. It was so popular, that I decided to make another one, but with fruit and veggies this time. Since we eat with out eyes first, I wanted this board to scream Springtime, so I decided a rainbow of colors would […]
Grilled Chicken Salad with a Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
I read cooking blogs, cookbooks and recipes every single day. I love seeing how people combine different foods and flavors to make everyday or unique dishes. So when I was looking at delish.com the other day, I saw this cherry based salad and thought it would be really great to make for Easter or Passover, […]
Puebla Salad
It’s Hoboken week and I wanted to showcase some of my favorite restaurants foods, with my spin on them of course! Tony Boloney’s is a local pizza, sub and food joint with quite the amazing reputation both locally and nationally. They’re known for creating their infamous Taco pizza, among other amazing foods. They even have […]
Whole30/Paleo Beef Tacos
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 […]
