Shrimp Creole
Easy to make but company-worthy, a spoonful of rice is all you need to complete this flavor-packed meal. Convenient prep-ahead options included. Shrimp Creole was one of my mom’s “special dishes,” a meal she served when company came or there was something to celebrate. But the flavor and ease of this southern Louisiana staple makes…
Slow Cooker Mexican Flank Steak
Slow Cooker Mexican Flank Steak combines veggies and lean protein in one, easy-to-assemble meal that can be customized with a variety of toppings. It’s family-friendly and worthy of a spot on the weekly rotation! I’m a big fan of recipes that incorporate a variety of vegetables with a basic protein in one,…
Loaded Tex-Mex Potatoes
I have a random memory of a bitterly cold day last winter. I was standing in front of the washing machine, folding laundry. It was such a simple task, yet I was completely exhausted. Folding one more shirt or matching one more pair of socks seemed just plain impossible. As I slumped over my pile,…
Mango Pineapple Salsa
Recently, my friend Justine asked if I would create an orange recipe to shine a light on something near and dear to her heart. You may be wondering… Why orange? Orange is the official color of the non-profit Cycle for Survival, an indoor cycling event (a four hour relay to be precise!) that raises funds for rare…
Classic Chicken Rice Soup
Wholesome comfort food as its best, this recipe yield is generous and is perfect for sharing, freezing, or enjoying leftovers throughout the week. As a long-lasting stomach virus worked its way through my family early last month, this soup (along with toast and ginger ale) was the only food some of us wanted to eat…
3-Ingredient Chuck Roast in Foil
Flavorful, fork tender meat with ease…and your kitchen will smell amazing! This hands-off recipe has been a longtime favorite in our family, and it might just make the regular rotation at your house too. Last September, my husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. When I think about that number, it’s sort of shocking to…
Sheet Pan Dinner: Roasted Chicken, Potatoes and Artichokes
Quick to prep and family friendly, this all-in-one meal is a weeknight gift that relies on pantry staples. The optional quinoa recipe pairs well, but a simple side salad will also round out the meal. After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, a break from cooking would suit many of us just fine.…
Baked Denver Omelet
Similar to a frittata, this baked omelet can be mixed in one bowl and requires no sautéing prior to baking. It’s a super speedy meal that is perfect with your favorite deli ham or leftover baked ham. There’s a special appeal to a recipe that mixes up in a single bowl. Who isn’t thrilled at…
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Protein-rich beans replace the cream in this flavorful soup, creating exceptional texture and staying power. Just before Thanksgiving, my older son endured the displeasure of jaw surgery. To eliminate additional procedures down the road, he had his wisdom teeth pulled, too. Lucky boy. In the week or so that followed, pureed or very soft…
Spinach Pomegranate Salad with Vanilla Vinaigrette
As satisfying as it is beautiful, this vibrant salad is worthy of a holiday table or paired with a simple protein any night of the week! When I originally shared my Autumn Salad with Nancy’s Sweet and Tangy Dressing, my friend, Christine, mentioned that she serves a similar salad with a vanilla vinaigrette. Christine said…
Chipotle Maple Sweet Potato Soup
My good friend, Sonali, is an ER physician, wife and mother of an adorable toddler. In her “spare” time, she authors The Foodie Physician blog and writes cookbooks. (I know what you’re thinking…I don’t think she sleeps!) Sonali kindly asked to include several of my Greek yogurt-inspired recipes in her recently published The Greek Yogurt…
Roasted Root Veggie Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette
The easy vinaigrette is key to memorable flavor in this endlessly adaptable, jewel-toned salad. A favorite protein makes it a complete meal. Think of all the people you see regularly, but only in passing. People with whom you may exchange friendly banter but never have the time to really know. Maybe it’s your faithful…
