10 veggies, 1 meal
My family likes to get together for Sunday night dinner whenever possible. This Sunday, we strayed from the norm and instead of driving up to the suburbs, I convinced my family to come to me! A night in, in the big city! Yay! But as I looked at my watch, I realized they’d be arriving…
Sunday Summer Salmon
It’s summer and the farmers market is in full swing! I’m discovering new vendors that I love and trying to push the limits with their products and offerings! This week, I experimented with a beautiful piece of salmon that I picked up a couple weeks ago, (it was frozen to keep fresh) and this amazing…
Zoodles, Shrimp, and a light summer sauce

Enter Zoodles and shrimp… Ingredients: 2 Small zucchinis (I only made enough for one lunch and a light snack so…
Greens, Grains and Teriyaki

Balsamic Chicken (and a chat about food waste)
Today I wanted to chat with you about food waste and ways I combat that in the kitchen and in the world. The United States wastes approximately 133 billion pounds of food each year. On top of that 1 in 5 fruits and vegetables don’t meet the cosmetic standards of grocery stores across the nation. The fruits…
Winter Spaghetti Squash
It’s college football bowl game season, which means I need something with very few steps that is filling and appeals to all audiences. So tonight I went with spaghetti squash and red sauce with green beans on the side. Unfortunately, the Irish didn’t win today, but at least this dinner did! (Phone didn’t eat first…
Weeknight Salmon Dinner
My roommate has been dying for salmon and we had a friend join us for dinner tonight so I whipped up this super simple summer dinner. I made this for three people but feel free to adjust for however many you may be serving. Ingredients: 3 portions of salmon 1 bunch of asparagus 1.5 cups…
Lake Shore Chicken and Pasta
