Let's taco 'bout how amazing these taco salad bowls are. (Sorry, couldn't help it!) These salad bowls are so pretty and so delicious, no one will notice the "meat" is vegan. Not even your meat-loving boyfriend! I've been seeing more and more variations on taco "meat" substitutes in my instagram feed lately, so I thought I better check it out. And let me just tell you, I am SO glad I ...
Main Dish
Fish Tacos with Sweet and Spicy Pear Slaw
Pears are a fruit that I often forget about when shopping at the store. I always get apples, oranges, and sometimes berries (so basic), but I rarely buy pears! Pears. Are. Delicious. They have such a nice velvety texture and they are so juicy and sweet, but not too sweet! I figured a pear slaw would be a perfect dish to highlight how great they are! And what better use of slaw than on top of fish ...
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 ...
Roasted Salmon with Edamame Succotash and Herb Dill Sauce
Succotash is a Southern staple. It typically is served with lima beans and corn, but we jazzed it up by substituting edamame for the lima beans to still give the starch but utilize what was in the freezer. When making this dish at home you can substitute any other vegetable you have on hand. Sara Ann and I happened to have some potatoes, corn, edamame and bell pepper on hand, but you could ...
Best Sheet Pan Chicken Fajita Bowls
Chicken fajita bowls: all the delicious chicken fajita flavor you're craving with little to no guilt! This recipe is yet another of our Ah-Mazing sheet pan meals (check out Exhibit A and Exhibit B here). No dishes, no problems, am I right?! Like all of my favorite recipes, this one is -- you guessed it -- versatile! You can eat your chicken, onions, and peppers over a chopped salad, ...
Sheet Pan Baked Chicken Tenders with Brussels, + Beets (Whole30 + Paleo)
Guys, this sheet pan chicken is your new weeknight go-to! Everything goes on one half sheet pan, and dinner is served in 30 minutes! This recipe checks the Whole30 and Paleo boxes, and is kid-friendly to boot. There’s nothing fancy about this dinner, and that’s what makes it so great. You can hit up that spin class late after work tonight and still eat a healthy meal at a reasonable ...
Sheet Pan Snapper Amandine + Asparagus (Whole30 + Paleo)
Ah, Snapper Amandine. This recipe, adapted from my mother’s Trout Amandine, is probably my favorite fish preparation. It’s impressive enough that I’ve cooked it for a few first dates, and easy enough to whip up on a weeknight. Mom uses Trout for this recipe. I like it equally with Trout and Snapper, but you can use any flaky white fish you have on hand. Here, I used a large Red Snapper ...
Cauliflower Pizza with Arugula Salad
Can I get an Amen for cauli-crust? Pre-packaged cauliflower pizza crust was one of the biggest game-changers for us in 2017. In case you're not familiar, cauliflower pizza crust is a low-carb alternative to traditional whole-wheat pizza crust. Although our homemade cauliflower pizza crust definitely takes the cake, this pre-made crust from Trader Joe's is nice to have in a pinch. When it ...
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 ...
