No-Mayo Broccoli Salad
This classic-tasting broccoli salad relies on a honey and Dijon infused vinaigrette to keep it light yet incredibly flavorful. Perfect for those who donโt (and do!) love mayo. In surveys aimed at ranking the most polarizing foods, mayonnaise consistently tracks as a top vote-getter. The thick, creamy condiment ranks right up there with the likes…

Stuffed Acorn Squash
Wholesome and hearty stuffed acorn squash is an all-in-one meal thatโs bursting with savory flavor. It even comes with an edible bowl! Acorn squash always makes me think of my grandmother. The dark green vegetable, with its signature splotch of orange, was not something we ate at home. My grandmother, however, cooked with it often.…

What We Get Wrong About Corn
There’s so much information out there on the nutritional value of corn (or lack there of), some of it valid, some of it not so much. How do we know if we should enjoy our corn or avoid it altogether? If vegetables were in a movie, I imagine kale and spinach would probably be the…
Parmesan Baked Flounder with Lemon Dill Sauce
Lemon, garlic, and a crispy crumb topping turn mild flounder into a dinnertime superstar. Easy enough for weeknight meals yet special enough for company. The roots of this recipe lie in a quick weeknight meal I made often as a young mom. Itโs also the dish I credit with making fish lovers out of my…
Braised Chicken with Rice and Spinach
This Greek-inspired, one-pot meal requires a slow braise but is largely hands-off and rewards you with exceptional flavor. Wholesome comfort food at its best!

Baked Oatmeal and a Weekend in Miami…
It is hard to believe a humble oatmeal dish took my husband, Jack, and me on a trip to Miami. When Smart Balance asked me to participate in their national recipe contest, I almost didn’t do it. Would asking for votes, repeatedly over a month, be an annoyance to people? I certainly didn’t want to be…

Chicken and Spinach Parmesan Pizza
When we eat this pizza, I feel as though we are enjoying a gourmet pizza that took minutes to prepare. It happens to be a favorite of my 14-year-old son, who is usually all about pepperoni pizza! Typically, I love a good saucy pizza–meaning the tomato version. This white sauce, however, is quick, easy and…
Greek Pasta Skillet
I like to keep a package of fresh pasta and a package of sausage–turkey, chicken or pork are all good options–in my refrigerator for a quick, easy meal. These two ingredients, paired with any number of vegetables, cheeses, and herbs can be the foundation for what is essentially a delicious pasta stir fry. Since the…
