The chicken recipe itself was fairly standard – pound the chicken thin; dip in flour, egg, and rye breadcrumbs; shallow fry and serve immediately – but turned out beautifully. The slightly decadent mustard cream…
You should know that I’m a very picky hot fudge eater. It also makes 2 cups of sauce, which is a problem in and of itself due to my lack of age-appropriate self-control. So…
A bowl of soup, well, that’s what I did. Mushroom and farro soup, to be specific. And as I was making the soup, which only dragged me away from Up All Night…
Sweet cherries eaten ice cold from the fridge, plums so perfect that the juice dribbles down your chin with every bite, peaches baked until hot and bubbly under a buttery crumble – these fruits…
I’ve made healthy, easy, quick dinner-time food, because when I think about eating healthy, I think about mealtimes. But truth be told, I’m pretty good about eating healthy meals – I rarely eat…
See, the reason I don’t usually make roast chicken is that, well, I don’t really like it. To be 100% honest, chicken freaks me out a little bit, even though I think it…
The first salad that I’m piling on my plate this week? This roasted broccoli and kale salad with a creamy Caesar dressing. I could eat roasted broccoli all day, so this was a good…
This salad is something special – cherry tomatoes roasted with maple syrup until they taste like candy, hearty black beans, crunchy toasted almonds, and fresh feta cheese. If you use really good ingredients…
I’ve tried a lot of recipes for soups. Portuguese kale soup, corn and cheddar chowder, minestrone, pork and black eyed pea chili, and this one. I love how the pesto melts into…
Light and nutritious meals that take 30 minutes or less to put together, but that don’t skimp on flavor. I don’t always accomplish all of those things – like on the nights I…
I’ve tried the raw kale and avocado salad and absolutely loved it, but the roasted fennel with cranberries and chestnuts didn’t do it for me. Also good were the indian spiced scrambled eggs…
I’m very pleased with the recipe I ended up choosing – the feta and lentil tabbouleh pictured here. In terms of health benefits, it packs a serious punch. The combination of the…
I bring you veggie burgers. Don’t groan. Veggie burgers have a reputation for being dry, flavorless, and generally awful, but homemade veggie burgers can be really delicious, and quite easy to…
Waiting, preparation, cleaning – to me this all calls for simplicity, including in our food. Of course, I think there’s something to be said for simple food at pretty much anytime of the…
I have a lot of cooked quinoa in the fridge because I’m vaguely following the Self Drop 10 plan this week and practically all the recipes call for quinoa. Like these quinoa-banana pancakes.…
I do want to share a few recipes I’ve already tried as a sort of “preview” before giving you the whole shebang, so I’m here with two super-healthy, super-easy, kale-centric recipes. Both of…
