Soup season is here! This Slow Cooker Moroccan Lentil Soup is a great one for the repertoire. The flavors are deep and rich, and it’s super filling. This makes a huge portion, so it’s great to freeze, share with others, or plan on eating all week long. A slow cooker makes this super easy, butRead more
Husband isn’t much of a soup person, but I’ve apparently knocked it out of the park and have created 2 soups he loves this month! I’ve made variations of this soup, but apparently never blogged about it. Sausage is a super flavorful option and soup is a great way to use up vegetables that mayRead more
If you’ve still got some of the last tomatoes of the summer lingering, this is the perfect tomato soup for you. Husband (who is not a soup person) says this Roasted Tomato Soup is one of the best soups he’s ever had. Roasting the vegetables intensifies the flavor and makes this soup very easy andRead more
It’s hard to believe it’s already late September! I’ve started a new job this month working as the sole Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at two long-term care facilities. It’s been a whirlwind getting adjusted and learning the ropes at two different places. Despite the upheaval of a new job, I’ve already made this almond apple crispRead more
Cooking can be an intimidating prospect if you’re new to it. But starting off by mastering one dish can be just the start you need. Pancakes were my go-to dish for a long time. My grandmother would always make Orange Chicken with rice and broccoli. Husband started off with hot dogs, then mastered quesadillas, andRead more
I don’t frequently cook with eggplant since it has always felt a little finicky to me. While I love this Roasted Eggplant and Smoked Almonds Salad, I’ve been looking for some other ideas for cooking eggplant. Mom suggested this recipe and it is such a winner. This Baked Orzo with Eggplant is a great vegetarianRead more
I adapted these Thai turkey meatballs from a burger recipe and turned them into a delicious bowl. Bowls are a great meal option, they’re easily adjusted based on meal preferences, so I can load up on vegetables and Husband can have as much starch as he needs and everyone’s happy. Meatballs are a great optionRead more
I made this Orange Marmalade French toast for Easter breakfast. This is such a great recipe because it can be assembled the night before and then baked off in the morning. This is lightly sweetened from the orange marmalade and would be perfect paired with a fruit salad and a cup of tea. This wouldRead more
Chocolate cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. For a recent party, I made my old chocolate cheesecake recipe (back from 2012!) but updated it to make individual mini cheesecakes. The texture of these is out of this world; they’re smooth, creamy, and deliciously rich. While cheesecake is a bit fussy to make, I likeRead more
Last month the Environmental Working Group released their Dirty Dozen list for 2019. This list, in theory, reports the produce that is “highest” in pesticide residue and informs consumers of the top foods that they should buy organic. This list causes a lot of fear and anxiety around food. The bottom line is that eatingRead more
