Broiled Sole With Mustard And Thyme

Mustard Thyme Sole

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a recipe just for the love of sharing a recipe!

I’ve been so focused on video production I’ve let my written recipes fall by the way side…

Video: How-To Make Really Good Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled Eggs

I know that lots of people know how to make scrambled eggs but how many of you know how to make really good scrambled eggs?

I’m telling you… it’s worth knowing, because the difference between regular old scrambled eggs and really good scrambled eggs may just rock your world (it did mine)…

Video: Super Simple Broccoli Stem Soup

Broccoli Stem Soup 2

I can’t even tell you how many years I spent throwing my broccoli stems in the garbage.  I didn’t even think twice about it until I discovered how delicious the stems actually are. Come to think of it, I’m not even sure why I just assumed they were any less delish than the florets, but I digress…

Video: Spanish Tortilla

Spanish Tortilla Imagine

This is another video that we shot nearly a year ago (when I was still pregnant with Jachs!) and are finally able to share!  The only catch is that I forgot to take a photo of the final product so you’ll just have to use your imagination until I get to make this one again… enjoy!

Video: Baked Buffalo Wings

Baked Buffalo Wings 2

With Super Bowl Sunday quickly approaching I knew it was due time for a video featuring my Spicy Baked Buffalo Wings!

Not only are these wings baked and not fried, but they just so happen to be a very simple recipe to whip up.  As a matter of fact…

Clean Eating Roasted Shrimp and Green Beans

Shrimp and Beans

In case it’s not obvious, the two key factors that weigh the heaviest when it comes to cooking (for me) are; simplicity and nutritional density.

Notice how I put simplicity first?

Truth be told, that even for me (a self-proclaimed, ‘health conscious foodie’) more times than not ‘time and ease’ tend to outweigh health and nutrition once the clock starts ticking…

Clean Eating Turkey Chili

Turkey Chili

This one is simple.

I haven’t thrown in any extra veggies or magical ‘super-foods’.

This is a straight-forward, no-frills, chili recipe that reminded me that sometimes you’ve just gotta let a classic be a classic.

It’s warm, cozy, comfort food at it’s delicious best (and it just so happens to be packed with protein and fiber to boot;)).

Persimmons Pomegranate Salad with Butter Lettuce and Arugula

Salad

As much as I love the East coast and my Jersey roots there are a few things in California that I would find very, very, very hard to leave behind… the weather (obviously!), the year-round outdoor activities (especially the hiking!), and of course the Farmers markets (aka the availability of amazing, seasonal, top-notch ingredients).

But since having Katie and Jachs, I have found it much harder to peruse the farmers markets like I once did.  Rather, I often find myself b-lining it straight to my favorite vendors and buying the same old produce week after week… until now… because I finally decided to join  a local CSA (and I am absolutely giddy about it!).

Clean Eating Turkey ‘Sausage’ Spinach & Mango Skillet

Turkey Mango Skillet

Skillet meals are far and wide one of the simplest ways to pull off a quick, nutritious dinner using whatever ingredients you may have on hand.

The general rule of thumb is veggies, veggies, veggies (and sometimes, even fruit), some form of protein, and spices.  From there you can add a little ‘smart-carb’ to the meal (ie. quinoa, brown rice, spaghetti squash, etc.) and you’re ready to go!

The inspiration for this combo came from a new spice mix I discovered…

KidBite: Kale Pesto Dipped Chicken Tenders

Pesto Chicken Tenders

I’d be lying if  I tried to pretend that finding yet another way to have my two-year old enjoying kale didn’t excite me.

What can I say?  Watching my toddler eat and enjoy green veggies of any type makes me smile.

I’m not exactly sure why.

I think it has something to do with knowing that she is doing something good for herself… but not because she thinks it’s good for her, rather because she really likes it.

Yeah.  That’s definitely part of it.  I think that’s cool.
