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 ...
Weeknight Dinner
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 ...

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 ...
Oven Roasted Curry Cauliflower
Last week, I tried this amazing new restaurant in my neighborhood, Restaurant Chloe, and had the most phenomenal tahini cauliflower. I snapped a photo of the ingredients on the menu knowing full-well that I was going to make this at home. In an effort to use what I had at home, I altered the ingredients but still found a way to get that flavorful roasted cauliflower that I loved at the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles (Whole30 + Paleo)
This recipe was inspired by the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles that my grandmother, Nana, makes for family gatherings. They're usually one of my favorite things on the table -- buttery, salty, sweet, and so bacon-y that you forget there are green beans in there. It sure is delicious, but no one ever said it was good for you. This year for Thanksgiving, I decided to try whipping up a ...
Sheet Pan Salmon + Asparagus
I don’t know about y’all, but it seems like 2018 has been a busy, busy year so far. Between work, weddings, and whatever else fills my daily schedule I have just felt like I have been go-go-go. Planning healthy meals, unfortunately, has taken the back burner on my list of priorities. When I get busy, I eat poorly, but when I eat poorly, I have less energy to keep up with my busy schedule. I know ...
