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.

Simple Mashed Potatoes
Simple Mashed Potatoes For a couple years, the only part of Thanksgiving dinner my youngest would eat was the mashed potatoes. Seriously, I couldn’t blame her.

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

Made from pantry staples you will most likely have on hand, it’s simple and straight forward. Garnish off with a drizzle of fragrant rosemary-infused olive oil, it’s a finishing touch that takes…
Three Bean Salad
Three Bean Salad This one takes me back. Anyone else? It’s an old school side dish my grandma used to make for lunches when I’d visit. I remember hers being deliciously sweet and almost syrupy. My variation of three bean salad uses healthy pantry ingredients and has multiple substitutions to make it work for you….
