I want to preface this recipe by saying I am by NO means an expert on molecular cooking and yes, while gelatin is really only scraping the tip of the iceberg of cooking science, it’s a hard canvas to cook on. But we made it! And this Sugar Free Peach Panna Cotta IS SO GOOD!…
Banana Cinnamon Protein Muffins
Summer is a time for good foods and eating healthy – but what happens when you still LOVE bread and carbs? And truth be told, this recipe came out of a mild jealousy of all the other people baking bread during the Q and I just wanted in on the cinnamon roll fun. So here…
Italian Squash Bake
Nashville has been unprecedentedly chilly lately (sorry, I had to). So that means I’m CRAVING comfort foods. Usually my go to is a big pot of spaghetti or a lasagna, but since I’m trying (trying) to be good, eat my veggies and stick to my Weight Watchers plan, I had to come up with an…
Homemade Pasta Sauce
If you’re looking for Italian recipes, I’m your girl. I think my brain is wired that way honestly! I do admittedly lean more towards the Northern fare with it’s heavy sauced pastas, meats and cheeses instead of the Mediterranean side of food (but I am getting more into that as I cook more fish). So…
Apple Cucumber Spring Slaw
I love spring. Not because of the wonderful allergies of course but because it gives me the excuse to eat cold foods ALL. THE. TIME. And not saying there is something wrong with eating cold foods in the winter. I’m just not a fan. So any time I have the chance to whip up some…
Basil Honey Vinaigrette
Oh summer, I can almost taste you right around the corner and it doesn’t help that I’m already in salad mode. Summer equals amazing salads! Win-win! This week, I wanted a BLT bad, and I’ll be honest: I don’t eat bacon a lot but when I do, it’s on! So I had a thought to…
(Healthy) Southern Style BBQ Sauce
The South – known for a lot of things but for food, you can’t deny the BBQ roots. In fact, Nashville is credited for having one of the first smokehouses at The Hermitage, the home of 7th President, Andrew Jackson. Who Being from Nashville, we love our BBQ. For us it’s a way of life…
Breakfast Frittata
Breakfast – one of the biggest challenges for healthy eating. If it were up to me, the modern work day would start around 11am, just enough time to got to a gym class, take a nice long shower, and make a delicious and nutritious meal for what is known as the most important meal of…
Balsamic Brussels Sprouts
Starting the new year off right is important for many people. That’s why I like to give myself a week or two for those people to stop parking in my spot at the gym and take advantage of the short delivery time at my favorite local pizza joint. Kidding. But it is important to eat…
Roasted Cornish Hens
In my house, especially this time of year, I really try to make sure I put something good on the table at least one night a week. I consider it practice for the days to come with children and the busy-ness that having little ones entails so I try to find something easy and a…
