Went back to my roots last week and my beloved pasta sauce to bring a really healthy and delicious recipe to you (and to me, of course). I know a lot of people who have recommended trying this and I’ve always been a little hesitant. I’m not sure why but part of it may be…
Beet Slaw with Peach Vinaigrette
As much as I complain about summer, and the heat (mostly the heat), I do LOVE a good slaw or salad recipe! And I recently I thought about peaches. This is how most of my best recipes start actually. With a single ingredient! Summer is always the best time for peaches! Have you ever tried…
Garlic Aioli and Chicken Pinwheels
Do you ever go to someone’s house and look in their fridge and it’s pretty much mostly sauces? Well that’s me. I’ve been obsessed with sauces and condiments from a young age. Couldn’t tell you why, I just always thought that if I ate the same meal all the time but changed the sauce it…
Five Ingredient Potato Wedges
Some weeks just don’t go as planned, amirite? Like the end of last week and the beginning this week – sort of living in a trippy Groundhog Day experience these days. But anywho… cut to last week on Friday. I really meant to get my life together by Friday and post a recipe. Did it…
Seasoned Italian Green Beans
I truly love seasoned green beans from a can. I always have. Even as a kid – and there is one specific brand that is SO good. Comes in a giant can. Bottom of the shelf in the canned food aisle. Ya can’t miss it. But, it happens to cost me points. And I would…
Bruschetta Chicken
I LOVE tomatoes! We have had a lifelong love affair actually. My first food solid was spaghetti and I was covered head to toe in sauce and noodles. As a plus, it’s summertime and that means I can pick them right off the vine at my parent’s house and they are as sweet and amazing…
Cheesy Cauliflower Mash
Last week, I really wanted to attempt a cold cauliflower salad but I was CRAVING mashed potatoes. One thing you will learn about me is that I will NEVER tire of mashed potatoes. Ever. But, with trying to be healthy and eating more vegetables, I wanted to flex my cooking new things muscle and try…
Watermelon Cucumber Feta Salad
Sorry, I’m not sorry for posting back to back cold composed salad recipes – it’s summer and I am taking advantage of summer cooking to the fullest! And why does everything taste better in a bowl? Kidding (maybe), but I am fond of these new bowls I just got. Maybe next week I will try…
White Bean Summer Salad
Summer is here (even though the weather isn’t REALLY cooperating) but I am in full summer food mode! This recipe was actually a brain child of mine that I morphed from a recipe I eat at one of my favorite restaurants in town. I wanted to create something that was more WW points friendly that…
Honey Garlic Shrimp
I’m going outside my comfort zone. I will admit that I am not the best cook when it comes to seafood but I’m pretty adept when it comes to flavor so along with my trusty meat thermometer, I think this one turned out just fine. There isn’t any specific stir fry season, in my opinion;…
