Quick & Healthy Pasta Stir Fry
This recipe started out as an attempt to make a new, simple salad using some of my favorite ingredients. However, I wasn’t loving how it turned out – not that it was bad, but it just wasn’t great – and so I decided to turn it into the heart of a pasta stir fy… Ingredients (for 2): 1 [...]

Love spinach and swiss chard? If your answer is “yes”, then you will definitely be a fan of beet greens. For anyone who isn’t exactly sure what I’m referring to, it’s exactly what you would expect – the green leaves attached to beets. Have you been throwing them away? Don’t! Buying a bunch of beets [...]

Quick Black Bean Soup
I have always loved black bean soup and most of the time I get it out, but every so often I like to make this quick recipe. Of course, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s still very tasty, very filling and also very healthy (lots of protein and fiber). I like my black bean soup [...]

Roasted Cauliflower Soup
The kale and bean soup last week apparently began a soup making rampage of sorts for me. Just ask my husband - I’ve been a cooking machine lately, but all I want to make is soup! The latest (and maybe 1 of my greatest I’m told) is this roasted cauliflower soup, which provided the two of us with two [...]

Tuna & White Bean Salad
My husband made this a few weeks ago and now it’s become a very frequent dish in our home. It’s such a well-rounded, nutrient-dense meal on its own (lots of protein, fiber & healthy fats) and perfect as a side dish with sandwiches and soups. I think this is one of the healthiest and most [...]

Homemade Gazpacho
We had a really fun dinner the other night – not only was this gazpacho homemade, but all of the ingredients were from the weekly farmstand near our place.

When I was a kid, I discovered this delicious salad at a diner on Long Island. A couple of years ago, when I was no longer frequenting the diner, I attempted recreating this delightful little side dish. I’m happy to say it really does taste like the one I always loved… So simple – just [...]
