I don’t know about you guys, but my weekday lunches are typically whatever sad leftovers remain from the previous night’s dinner. Every once in awhile though, I make something for dinner that I’m pumped to have the next day for lunch. This easy Greek lentil salad is one of those things. In fact, it actually … More Greek Lentil Salad
Nine times out of ten on my weekly grocery runs, I consistently grab the same veggies. You can almost always find: spinach, broccoli, and brussels sprouts in my cart. Last week, we started getting some warmer weather in new england, and the thought of turning on the oven and roasting veggies was NOT an idea … More Shredded Brussels Sprout and Lentil Salad
In the very hottest days of summer, as much as I love chocolate desserts, I’m usually craving something a bit lighter. Also considering my wedding is about 9 weeks away (AHHHHH!!!!) I’ve been trying to make healthier desserts that don’t leave me feeling deprived. These lemon poppyseed baked donuts are almost as good as the … More Lemon Poppyseed Baked Donuts
Happy new year!! A little late I suppose, but better late than never! đ In just 6 days, I’m headed on a vacation to Phuket and Bangkok, Thailand and Bagan and Yangon, Myanmar. My fiancĂ©, our friends and I have had this trip planned for awhile now, so I’ve been dreaming of noodles and other … More Healthy Loaded Baked Potato Soup
Lately, Andrew and I have started incorporating one meatless or vegan meal into our weeknight repertoire. Typically that means we focus on legumes like lentils or beans, so when I found this recipe for a coconut chickpea and sweet potato curry I was sold instantly. Not only does it come together pretty quickly (the active time … More Chickpea & Sweet Potato Coconut Curry
Now that the days are longer, and it’s supposedly starting to get warmer out (it was like 40 yesterday, so hoping that comes soon…), I find myself craving more fresh veggies and lighter meals. I’ve been making this salad for a few years, ever since I saw it posted on Lottie + Doof. I love the … More Snap Pea and Radish Salad
At the end of September, as you guys might remember, I cut dairy, gluten, and added sugar from my diet for 20 days. Most of those days the only sugar/sweetness I consumed was in the form of fruit, but towards the end I found that my tummy (or brain?…) needed something more. I found a … More Honey Almond Butter Energy Treats
Whenever I’m craving something a little decadent, but know I need to get some greens, this is my go-to recipe. I know, kale is NOT decadent on its own…but the bacon and spices compliment it so well, that I actually really enjoy this preparation. All you need is a TON of kale, bacon, and some … More Bacony Kale
I’m on day 17 of my 20 day reset and all I want is some pasta, bread and cheese đ In the meantime, I made this super garlicky spaghetti squash. Honestly – it was SO delicious, and I almost (almost…) forgot I wasn’t eating pasta. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash in a … More Garlicky Spaghetti Squash
The last time I posted a carrot recipe, it was one of my all-time favorite recipes ever. Again, I found myself at Trader Joe’s staring at the multi color carrots and was reminded of that lovely salad. I made it last week and am still enjoying today! With the leftover carrots, I decided I’d give … More Spicy Maple Roasted Carrots
Weeknight meals tend to become super repetitive in our house. Now that I’m not on the road as much, I’ve been able to experiment with some new healthy recipes. One of the absolute easiest and healthiest ways to make a quick weeknight dinner involves “Fish En Papillote”, which is the fancy French term for fish … More Fish and Veggies in Parchment
Now that the sun has finally decided to show its face in New England, I’ve been spending as much time as possible outdoors. This past weekend, I went for a long run outside (for the first time since my half marathon in October!), Baxter went for a dip in the ocean, and Andrew and I strolled around … More Honey Sesame Pulled Chicken
Quite recently, I discovered sesame oil. I’m not sure what took me so long to finally buy it, but I’m so glad I did. Sesame oil is a dark brown color, and has a very intense and nutty flavor, and you only need a tiny bit to impart a ton of flavor. It works extremely well … More Asian Turkey Meatballs
Zucchini noodles (or ‘zoodles’) seem to be all the rage, and while I don’t usually get too into food trends, I have been giving these a try and they are so good. Not to mention, necessary, after a week of way too much drinking and not enough exercising! Much like a cauliflower pizza crust or cauliflower … More Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles
For the last 5 days, I have been soaking up the sun on the turquoise beaches of Aruba. It was not only amazing to enjoy 88 degrees and sun every single day, but the food was incredible too. Aruba restaurants focus on entrees that combine super fresh seafood served with vegetables and some sort of … More Honey Ginger Salmon
