I am all about meal planning (as you may know), and one of my favorite things to do is find ways you prep ahead of time and use ingredients in as many different ways as possible. This recipe is a result of me using up what was left in my fridge after meal prepping and …
Easy Asian Cucumber Salad
I recently joined a CSA. It’s been a fun experience and I’ve been forced to be more creative on the fly, like this asian cucumber salad. You can watch some cooking videos I’ve made here to see what I’ve been up to. This recipe isn’t up there yet but it’s easy enough that you don’t …
Green Bean and Radish Spring Salad
Oh my gosh y’all. This green bean and radish salad is seriously amazing. It’s light and refreshing yet still flavorful. It makes the perfect side dish, or if you add some leftover chicken it becomes a great meal. I have had this a couple times a week since I first had it and I’m still …
Citrus Mint Beet Salad
Would you believe I’ve never actually eaten raw beets before this awesome Citrus Mint Beet Salad? I’ve had them juice, roasted, and boiled, but not raw. However, while grocery shopping the other day, I found pre-spiralized beet noodles and just had to do something with them. I decided to make a citrus mint beet salad. With …
Watercress and Spinach Salad with Blueberries and Oranges with a Balsamic Vinaigrette
Watercress isn’t well known and I want to change that! This peppery leafy green surpasses other leafy greens in nutrition and medicinal uses.Trying new foods usually requires some bravery, even for me. I finally got up the nerve to try watercress 3 years ago and couldn’t believe I’d been so reluctant! It tastes great on its …
Herbed Butternut Squash Soup
I’ll be honest with you. Butternut squash is my least favorite of the winter squashes. That doesn’t mean I haven’t found ways to eat it that taste great, I have. Restaurants can make pretty much anything taste great, but doesn’t always happen at home. One of my restaurant favorites, butternut squash soup, is one of …
Sauerkraut with Pickles and Garlic
Incorporating healing foods, like sauerkraut, is one the most important parts of my program with all my clients. Quality probiotic supplements are expensive, and limited in the amount of beneficial bacteria they can provide. Fermented foods on the other hand can provide up to a trillion probiotics per serving. Total bonus is making fermented foods …
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
I absolutely love entertaining. Life is so busy, I love having all my friends in one place, enjoying good food, and each others company. Sausage stuffed mushrooms are simple to prepare, extremely delicious, and always a hit. My favorite part is that they can be prepared a day ahead then just placed in the oven …
Halibut Ceviche
Summer is the season of all things cold here in Phoenix, at least for me. When it’s over 100 degrees, the last thing I want to eat is something hot most days. Ceviche is a food I have long enjoyed but hadn’t had the courage to create myself. Well, I finally did it! The result …
Classic Potato Salad
Potato Salad is a staple at many summer barbecues. It does pair nicely with other staples like grilled meat, baked beans (which are sadly not gluten free), and the like. It’s only been within the last couple years I’ve learned I like having mayo in certain foods (like chicken salad), and it isn’t as bad …
