Video: Clean Eating Sweet and Smokey Turkey Burger

Smokey Turkey Burger

*UPDATED 5/15/12 with a video.  This is one of my favorite burgers at the moment so I wanted to share a video to go a long with the recipe… enjoy!!

Of the many things that I adore about the longer days and warmer weather that Spring promises, I think it’d be fair to say that grilling outdoors is at the top of my list.

Video: Clean Eating Tuna Pasta Salad (To Take For Lunch)

Tuna Salad

This was a recipe that I (sorta) stole from my sister.

Her recipe uses white pasta and (I kid you not) about a half a jar of mayo.

It’s delicious BUT I really wanted to clean it up a bit using ingredients that work better for me and my body-body!

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: Popcorn Broccoli

Pop Corn Broccoli

Salt, pepper, olive oil and garlic.  This, my friends, is a winning combination that will never let you down.

Which I why this simple combination paired with roasted broccoli is a go-to side dish in our house.

It’s quick.

It’s simple.

And yes…

I’ve gotta tell you guys… I’ve never appreciated one-pot meals (that leave me with plenty of leftovers) more than I do now that I’ve got my two little ones!

I know you Moms out there can relate (and even those of you who are Aunt, Uncles, Grandmas, Grandpas, etc. know what I’m talking about).

Kids have a way of keeping us busy (understatement of the day) and it’s our job to find very creative ways to keep them busy

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…

Video: Baked Sweet Potato Fries

BAked Sweet Pottao 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 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;)).

Warm Lentil Salad Speckled W/ Kale and Pomegranate Seeds

Warm Lentil Salad

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

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!).
