I’m convinced that brussels sprouts haters just need to turn on their oven and get out a cookie sheet. And these Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pine Nuts and Garlic may be the way to convert even the most passionate brussels sprouts despisers to fanboys or fangirls. I’ve hailed the transformative power of roasting veggies before (see my […]
For this latest installment in Editing Your Kitchen, I’d like to tackle a topic that is a huge help in getting organized for the week: Small-Step Meal Prep.

The Pastrami-Sandwich Salad is a low-carb, gluten-free take on the pastrami sandwich that is the answer to all of your Jewish deli cravings.

Honestly, my ideal three-meals-a-day are breakfast, brunch, and breakfast for dinner. But I’m pretty sure a well-rounded diet doesn’t necessarily include eggs and bacon for every meal, so I’ll postpone that idea for now. All that […]

I’ve been making this Simple Lemon and Dijon Mustard Chicken for years now; it’s my go-to when I want to have a healthy, homemade dinner that’s comforting and delicious, but I don’t have much in my fridge. In fact, aside […]
Honey-Cinnamon Walnut Butter is creamy, sweet, a little salty, and loaded with good fats. It’s one of my favorite nut butters of ALL TIME. It has this unique and scrumptious texture and flavor that pairs oh so well with apples or warmed on a piece of toast. I just love it so much. I’ll let you in on […]
Curry and ginger. Hearty, sweet carrots. And a wholesome, rich chicken bone broth. This soup is a winner, and with an Instant Pot and food processor, you can make it in just about 30 minutes.
