Blue Cheese, Apple, Walnut Pizza

A tangy and slightly sweet dish, this Blue Cheese, Apple, Walnut Pizza is sure to be a crowd pleaser for your next pizza night. Pizza is my achilles heel. I am not huge on chocolate. I could leave baked goods. Ice cream is delicious, but I do not salivate over it....

Fridge Clean Out: Quinoa Lunch Bowl

A Quinoa Lunch Bowl is the perfect packed lunch option. Full of protein, fiber, and whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, it's an easy meal to throw together. Ok, ok. Get your squishy tomatoes ready to throw. I have a Health Coach confession to make. I do not...

Fridge Clean Out: Lightened Up Chicken Salad

This Lightened Up Chicken Salad is the perfect mix of tangy and sweet. It comes together easily using what you already have in your fridge. Whenever Rob and I decide to have chicken salad, or tuna salad, for dinner we end up at odds. Rob loves a mayonnaise-only...

Tortellini Tomato Salami Pasta Salad

I can’t be trusted around pasta. Any kind. Whether spaghetti, rotini, mac and cheese, or tortellini, nothing is safe. That’s probably the main reason I limit my pasta consumption, because I will eat the whole box within a few days. I had the same problem while trying...

Spicy Chicken Rice Soup

I'm trying to take better pictures of food. I told you how Rob built me a light box. Two of them in fact. I've been listening to podcasts, researching food photography, and making a bit more of an effort to make the recipes I post actually look appealing. Things have...

Mahi Mahi Wraps With Mango

Rob and I rarely eat out. Partly because we like being home. Partly because we want to save money. Partly because we can make food just as fueling as what we would get in a restaurant. We used to average eating out twice a week, with one of those nights being cheap...

Maple Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Lightened Up Chicken Broccoli Rice Casserole

Rob and I go through periods where we are completely bored with our regular meals. The other night, after groaning about having another meal of chicken, broccoli, and brown rice, I researched some casserole recipes. Unfortunately, most of them used cream of mushroom,...

Eggplant Caprese Sammies

You know how eggplant has been on sale for super cheap these past few weeks? We're talking 99 cents per eggplant. I just can't help myself when an unusual-to-me food is affordable, a gorgeous purple, and just asking to be taken home. (Apparently produce speaks to me.)...
