Chia Seed Pudding Last week was BUSY! I’m getting back in the groove after attending The Southern C in Sea Island, Georgia. My head is spinning and I’m not quite sure where to start with my catch-up process. But one thing I know that would help me out is quick on-the-go breakfasts. When you need…
Grain-free
Simple Potato Gratin
Simple Potato Gratin Imagine this: A rich and creamy potato gratin recipe that’s easy to assemble and restaurant quality—it’s this Simple Potato Gratin.

Sheet Pan Green Beans with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Everyone Wants an Easy Veggie Side We’ve got you covered! Three ingredients, no chopping, delicious flavor. You could even serve this on Thanksgiving if you need a vegetable side that doesn’t contain the Turkey Day trifecta of butter, cheese and a crispy topping. I prefer this with thin haricot vert, but it’s delicious with regular…
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Almost Flourless Chocolate Cake Happy national chocolate cake day! Sounds like my kind of holiday.

We just came back from a couple weeks…
Simple Mashed Potatoes

Soy-Honey Steak Kabobs
Soy-Honey Steak Kabobs A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Meal Grilling is the theme song of summer. Throw meat and veggies on the BBQ, and dinner is done. Marinate them with ginger, soy and honey and the tune gets even better. Kabobs are a make-your-own adventure meal, which works great for families. Set out all the veggies, onions and…
Baked Feta and Tomato Confit
Baked Feta and Tomato Confit Here’s the inside scoop on my all-time favorite meal: it would include tomatoes. There’s a story my mom likes to tell about a family trip to Canada when I was a toddler (which I remember nothing of). As she was making dinner, I ate every single cherry tomato out of…
Glazed Wild Salmon
Herbed Sweet and Spicy Glazed Wild Salmon Do you have one of those friends who’s just a force? Nothing slows them down, they operate on all cylinders, always on their game?
