Parmesan Cauliflower Rice
A short list of ingredients and quick cooking time add to the appeal of this flavorful, low-carb side dish. Pre-riced cauliflower offers a convenient shortcut! When I was a kid, noodles meant spaghetti, lasagna, macaroni or occasionally ziti, and rice meant plain old white (sometimes the minute variety). These days, a plethora of vegetables…
Sautéed Asparagus with Crispy Prosciutto and Parmesan
Three key ingredients turn this much-loved seasonal vegetable into a standout side dish – in about 10 minutes! I think we talked recently about low effort, high reward recipes. Add this one to that coveted list! The funny thing is, when I looked back to see which recipe I described that way, there were so…
Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps
Light yet satisfying and loaded with flavor, Thai Beef Lettuce Wraps are easy to make, fun to eat, and offer advance-prep options. A few months ago, my friend, Jen, was one short week into the Whole30 program when she found herself in need of some inspiration. She was desperate for satisfying recipes that would…
Homemade Chai Concentrate (for iced or hot chai lattes)
To all the coffee drinkers out there, stay with me! 😀 When my teenagers took a liking to iced chai lattes from our neighborhood coffee shop a few years ago, I figured it was time to come up with an economical DIY version. While it may require a trip to the market in…
Baked Mustard Crusted Salmon with Shallots
Don’t you love a recipe that’s easy enough to pull off on a busy weeknight but special enough for company? This is one of those meals. Though it looks and sounds somewhat gourmet, the prep couldn’t be easier and the results are consistently impressive. Plus salmon’s abundant supply of omega-3s make this dish heart healthy–and…
Chocolate Caramel Matzo Brittle
Sweet, salty, and crunchy, this traditional Passover treat will be a crowdpleaser any time of year! Good recipes have roots in the most unexpected places. Standing on the sidelines of a lacrosse game last year, the grandmother of my son’s good buddy and teammate mentioned a seasonal recipe she likes to make for family…
Cheeseburger Pita Pizzas
“I have more than enough quick-and-easy dinner recipes.” Said no one ever! Without a doubt, the need to keep the quickies coming is feedback that I receive often…and the irony on how much time I spend working to make meals that are not only fast, but healthy and delicious, isn’t lost on me! A handful…
Easiest Steamed Artichokes
If you’ve never cooked whole, fresh artichokes, you might not believe how easy it is…or how amazing they taste! Before I got married, I had never eaten an artichoke–one that didn’t come out of a can anyway. And then for our first Christmas together, my husband’s grandmother gave us a set of artichoke plates.…
Healthy 5 (or 6) Ingredient Blender Muffins －sweetened with whole fruit
These satisfying muffins are sweetened with whole fruit and offer a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or snack. And as with a good banana bread, the options with this easy recipe are endless! Sugar. It’s a major buzzword these days because so many of us eat too much of it. Generally speaking, I’m a healthy eater, yet…
Mediterranean Chicken & Hummus Bowls
Last month I had the privilege of serving as the featured speaker for a heart health awareness luncheon at Elizabethtown College, a small liberal arts college not far from my home. Leading up to the event, I had been asked to help devise the menu, too. Given the theme of the day, a menu rich…
Smoky Skillet Chicken
An easy spice rub delivers amazing flavor for chicken that tastes great as is, with an optional sauce, or as a foundation for your favorite bowl recipe. A friend once informed me that she was sick and tired of dreaming up new ways to make chicken interesting. Her family members all liked chicken, so…
Cilantro Lime Crema
Five ingredients and countless ways to enjoy. That’s this recipe in a nutshell. It’s like a little magic wand that can be waved to perk up plain chicken, fish, a simple baked potato, and so much more. And who couldn’t use a little dinnertime magic from time to time? I first made this sublime sauce…
