Grilled Lamb Chops

Grilled Lamb Chops For a super easy Easter dinner, look no further. Grilled lamb chops, with a tangy ginger, tamari and garlic marinade, have been a hit in recent cooking classes. When you’re entertaining a crowd, this recipe is the answer. Served with a spicy chermoula sauce on the side, it’s a flavor combination that’s…

Chermoula

March 29, 2018 By msmart Leave a Comment

Easy weeknight dinner

  I first learned how to make this tasty green sauce as a catering assistant for Thomas Fogarty Winery when I was fresh out of cooking school. It’s the perfect condiment for fish, chicken or roasted vegetables. I also love it mixed into couscous, cooked white beans or vegetable soup.

Healthy Seven Layer Dip

Healthy Seven Layer Dip

Healthy Seven Layer Dip I have friends to thank for this one. Iterations of this appetizer kept showing up at casual poolside barbeques and weekend gatherings last summer. Healthy, colorful and easy to assemble, it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. To assemble the appetizer, spread out the ingredients in thin layers on a white platter or…

Instant Pot Black Beans

MONDAY Miso soup is super fast and fits the “meatless” theme of the day. For extra veggies, add baby spinach or thinly sliced bok choy. You could also add sliced mushrooms, although I can’t get away with that in my house. Use sprouted organic tofu cut in small cubes. I’ll also make a pot of…

Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice

March 22, 2018 By msmart 7 Comments

weekly meal plan

Meet coconut lime cauliflower rice, your Whole30 best friend. When I did my first full Whole30 in January, I didn’t realize how much cauliflower rice I’d go through. It even went into a legume-free version of Whole30 cauliflower hummus I conjured up. But after a while, all that cauliflower rice at the bottom of my…

Whole30 Romesco

March 20, 2018 By msmart 3 Comments

4th of July menu

Romesco to the rescue. I’m a sucker for a snack platter: Colorful crudité, cheese, fruit, you name it. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure way of eating. Just put out all the options and let everyone dig in. Case in point, this Whole30 red pepper romesco with colorful veggies ready for dipping. Beautiful enough to set out for…

Spring is on its way, and these last months of the school year will fly by. We are in the midst of wrapping up summer plans and it has me thinking about summer shorts, white jeans and swimsuits. Goodbye corned beef, hello kale. SUNDAY We’re still technically on spring break, and today is a travel…

St. Patrick’s Day Menu

St. Patrick's Day Menu

  When I posted my meal plan this week, it was the day after turning our clocks back for daylight savings. We woke up at 4:30am that morning to catch a flight from Houston to Denver and then from Denver to Sun Valley, Idaho. St. Patrick’s Day was far from my mind when, 14 hours…

Tropical Kale Smoothie

Tropical Green Smoothie

A Kale Smoothie That Tastes Good Just say yes to raw kale for breakfast (in a smoothie, sister). It’s easy to throw a tropical kale smoothie together when you’re well stocked. I stash frozen fruit, like pineapple and bananas that I’ve peeled and sliced, at all times. Frozen at the height of freshness, it lasts…
