I am so excited about this recipe – it is unbelievably comforting, filling and would be great to feed a crowd, as it feels ‘unhealthy’ but isn’t! To be transparent, I got the idea for this recipe from Cooking Light – one of my favorite cooking magazines that I used to subscribe to back in…

Strawberry Balsamic Salmon
This recipe checks all of my favorite boxes when it comes to a recipe – minimal ingredients, prep time, cook time and showcases seasonal/fresh ingredients! At a few weddings I’ve been to over the past few years, they serve a green salad with strawberries and a balsamic dressing. It’s such a great combination and made…
Strawberry Snap Pea Feta Salad
I can’t stop eating this salad, it’s my absolute favorite thing at the moment! You have the crunch of the fresh snap peas, the sweetness of the strawberries, the nuttiness of the toasted pine nuts and the saltiness of the feta cheese – it’s seriously amazing! I love salads like this – you get so…
Veggie-Loaded Turkey Chili
Chili may not be a traditional summer meal – but I love it when it gets hot out, I just eat it cold as more of a gazpacho type soup and it’s just perfect with a little greek yogurt, hot sauce and avocado! While chili can be unhealthy if it’s 90% meat, it’s actually a…
Go-To Dinner: Buffalo Chicken Salad
Buffalo chicken is one of those combinations that I just adore – wings, in a wrap, on a salad – you name it and I love it! With that said, it normally doesn’t scream HEALTH – but that doesn’t have to be the case. A lot of buffalo chicken recipes call for a sauce composed…
Tuna Salad 101
Tuna salad is one of those things I’ve always loved – I’m pretty sure I used to get made fun of in elementary school due to my “stinky” sandwiches, but I stuck to my guns and didn’t let those kids ruin my favorite sandwich! I now prefer it with a fork, served with a side…
Italian Stuffed Zucchini Boats
I used to think I didn’t like zucchini – I’m not sure what I was thinking, it’s now one of my favorite veggies. I think the thing I like most about it is how versatile it is – it doesn’t have a very strong flavor, so it’s perfect in so many dishes without overpowering them….
Go-To Dinner: Greek Tahini Salad
Greek/Mediterranean flavors are some of my absolute favorites – everything tastes so amazing and you don’t need a ton of time or ingredients to pull a meal together. This salad is one I just love and always satisfies my craving for “Greek” food! The recipe for the salad isn’t an exact science, it’s more of…
Greek Pita Bread Casserole
One of my all-time favorite restaurants is in West Hartford, CT (where I grew up) – it’s a Mediterranean-style place called Tapas and has a cult-like following in the area. I try to order something new every time I go home to visit my family, especially their seafood daily specials, but there’s one dish that…
Raisin Chickpea Quinoa Salad
Chickpeas are so versatile, they add so much heartiness to a dish without overpowering the taste. They work so nicely in this quinoa salad combined with the veggies and sweetness of the raisins – it also holds up well all week, great for a make-ahead Sunday dish! I served this with my Curried Carrot Raisin…
Curried Carrot Raisin Chicken Salad
I remember when I was growing up, two of my favorite foods were a carrot/raisin salad at my family’s favorite deli (The Crown) and the curried chicken salad wrap the local sandwich shop served – this is my take on a combination of the two! Curry isn’t a flavor I use often, but I really…
Chicken Enchilada Casserole
Casseroles are one of the easiest things to throw together – if you don’t make them regularly, you need to start! I think some people avoid them because traditionally they are made using lots of canned soup and cheese, BUT that doesn’t have to be the case! This one is loaded with veggies and tastes…
