Video: Baked Buffalo Wings
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…
Video: Baked Sweet Potato Fries
UPDATE: This is not a new recipe but I wanted to share a video demonstrating the technique! Still one of my go-to-faves whenever I’m in the mood for fries!

I think I’ve mentioned it before but that won’t stop me from saying it again, “I love fries”. Love em’!
What’s not to love? Seriously, you tell me because I can’t think of one thing.
I also love sweet potatoes (what can I say, I just love food)… so needless to say, these fries really do it for me; they’re the best of both worlds.
Clean Eating Roasted Shrimp and Green 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…
Dark Chocolate Covered Pomegranate Drops
My apologies for being so MIA the last couple of weeks. We have been shooting lots of videos for the New Year and I was preparing the family to head back East for the next few weeks. That paired with x-mas cards and holiday shopping and you’ve got a girl that’s been fairly ‘offline’…
Warm Lentil Salad Speckled W/ Kale and Pomegranate Seeds
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.
I have been wanting to share this Warm Lentil Salad with you guys for years (no exaggeration). It’s a recipe that I learned when I attended The New School of Cooking over 5 years ago it’s been one of my ‘no-fail-go-to-salads’ ever since.
But for whatever reason, it just never made it to the blog, and now I know why…
Persimmons Pomegranate Salad with Butter Lettuce and Arugula
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
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…
A ‘Keeper” Marinade for Grilled Flank Steak
Nothing makes me happier than having a go-to recipe in my pocket that I know works.
A tried and true staple that I can make for company and just as easily make for a family dinner knowing that everyone will leave the table with a smile on their face.
This is one of those recipes.
And really it’s all about the marinade…
Pan Seared Sockeye Salmon w/ Raw Kale & Walnut Pesto
Remember that Raw Kale and Walnut Pesto I posted earlier this week? Well here is just one of many ways you can put it to use… simply dolloped on top of a piece of pan seared salmon.
This recipe is packed with all of those healthy omega-3′s that we need to be incorporating into our diet!
Raw Kale and Walnut Pesto
Putting a simple spin on classic pesto is an easy way to give your pesto a seasonal feel. By subbing kale in for traditionally used basil, you end up with earthier, heartier flavors that we tend to lean towards as the cooler weather rolls in.
This my friends, is what I like to call, “Power Food Pesto”!
