Korean Style Short Rib Tacos

Who doesn’t love a taco? And with sweet and salty braised short ribs reminiscent of bulgogi, how could you not? I love beef short ribs not only because of their affordability but the collagen content can’t be beat. They are perfect for braising and will give you a nice unctuous bite of tender and juicy meat. If you’ve ever gone to the grocery store or ...

Skillet Lemon Garlic Chicken and Vegetables

I am always looking for easy, under-30-minute recipes which require minimal cleanup! And this skillet garlic chicken with zucchini and mushrooms is such a recipe which also has loads of flavor!

Tangy Party Guac

With summer upon us (at least in the Northern hemisphere!), I wanted to share a guacamole variation that is keeps remarkably well and is perfect to take to a BBQ or party. This recipe makes a lot (feel free to halve if just making for yourself or a small family!), and the addition of coconut yogurt helps the avocado “keep” longer and resist browning. You ...

Curried Squash Soup with Lemongrass

This quick and delicious soup comes together super quickly with the help of the Instant Pot and tastes like a warm hug because of the combination of warming spices. A great hearty soup as it is, or topped with shrimp or chicken. Perfect for the drizzly spring days and a great way to use up the remainder of the hoard of butternut squash left in ...

Are Wearable Health Trackers Helping or Harming?

Do you think happy 100 year olds in Greece got that way with extensive food journals and continuous glucose monitors? I asked this question, referencing the healthy and long-lived residents of Ikaria, Greece, one of the five Blue Zones, on my Instagram feed back in December. There were 87 “content interactions” on the post, which is about .06% of my followers. The algorithm is notoriously ...
