It’s that time of year! Time to dust off the crock pot and whip up some easy recipes. While I always associate the crock pot with cold weather, I do live in Atlanta and even though it’s officially Fall, it’s definitely NOT cold. I’m not sure why I don’t use the crock pot year round though! Not only is it the easiest way to meal prep, it’s a great way to cut down on heat in the kitchen! I ...
Leftovers
Strawberry Cornbread “Shortbread” with Peaches + Mint
Oh my. Guys, this is one of those easy recipes that's almost TOO good. As in, too easy to make, and too bad for my waistline. But then again, summer only happens once a year, and when you've got ripe peaches and ripe strawberries, you've gotta take full advantage! We don't make a bunch of desserts around here at Fridge to Fork, mostly because we try to stay in the healthy lane as much as ...
Summer Salad of Sugar Snap Peas, Corn, and Tomatoes
Finally the heat has arrived and Atlanta is having some great weather! For me that means it’s grilling season. Honestly I grill year 'round, but it’s more fun to sit out on your porch when the weather is nice, sipping a glass of wine and grilling dinner. Recently, I was making BBQ chicken and I decided to make a fresh and simple sugar snap pea salad to go along with it. Another great reason ...
BBQ Chicken Tacos with Superfood Slaw
BBQ chicken tacos with superfood slaw are a great way to utilize leftovers you have in the fridge. This past Sunday night, I made crock pot BBQ chicken with macaroni and cheese and a side superfood salad with poppyseed dressing. We did not eat all of the BBQ chicken nor the salad (macaroni and cheese was gone though), so I thought what can I do with the leftovers? Tacos! DUH! I always keep ...
Warm Brussels Sprouts and Pear Salad
This maybe one of the best salads I have ever made. Not to toot my own horn, but seriously, the textures and the flavors of this salad really compliment each other in such a way that I want to make this over and over! The dressing is my go-to! I make this dressing probably once or twice a month and always have it on hand. It goes on any salad, whether you're tossing up a nice cobb, putting ...
Arugula Green Smoothie
Smoothies are my favorite way to utilize all the fruit leftover in the fridge or the handful of greens I've got hanging around (from that kale salad I made earlier this week). Most green smoothie recipes call for spinach or kale, but after whipping up this delicious cauliflower pizza with arugula salad on top, I had a good bit of arugula left over. So I thought, hey, why not toss some arugula in ...
Leftover Salmon Cakes
I have to admit. I think I would be really great on chopped. OK, maybe not the timed part (those of you who know me can attest), which I guess is most of the challenge. But as far as using ingredients given to you and being creative with food, that is where i thrive. Perhaps thrive is not the word as sometimes I fail miserably, but that is where I have the most fun. Anyone can go into a grocery ...
Asparagus, Bacon + Caramelized Onion Quiche
Since I was little, Mom has baked and gifted quiches for our close family friends every year at Christmas. It’s quite an affair in the kitchen, lasting for several days and involving pounds of freshly grated cheese and chopped ham. The process takes so long, in fact, that a few years ago she decided to bake something more simple. But that Sunday, a week or two before Christmas, she went to ...
Chickpea Pasta with Broccoli Pesto
When you first think of pasta, a carbohydrate heavy, warm comfort dish instantly comes to mind. But it's 2018, and we no longer have to take in all the carbs to still enjoy your "traditional" favorites, like my Chickpea Pasta with Broccoli Pesto. The chickpea pasta is a healthy substitution to traditional wheat or flour pasta. Packing 25 grams of protein, 13 grams of fiber with only 43 ...
Eggs in Sweet Potato Clouds (Whole30 + Paleo)
Have some leftover mashed sweet potato from the big Thanksgiving feast? You’re in luck! A delicious breakfast awaits you. Just grab some eggs, bacon, and chives. You can use two cups of whatever type of leftover sweet potato you have on hand. This includes baked sweet potato, mashed sweet potato, or even sweet potato casserole. If you’re using sweet potato casserole leftovers, just remove ...
