Baked Sweet Potatoes, with Sardines, Green Olives and Kale

  There’s nothing like a baked potato to evoke comfort and nostalgia, be it the quickest of lunches or the most leisurely of suppers. When I was growing up, my mother would often put potatoes cooked in their ‘jackets’ (as she called them) on the table, filled with whatever happened to be in the fridge and needed eating up at the time. Usually it would be something ultra simple ...

Breakfast Risotto with Greens

  This recipe is so yummy and so quick! I’ve been eating it a lot lately, ‘cause I just can’t seem to get enough. I think it’s something about the combo of the butternut squash “risotto” and the rainbow chard that is just so satisfying, but it’s also the herbs and spices that are added. They smell amazing while this dish is cooking. Add a ...

Shrimp Scampi

My husband loves shrimp. He’s Cajun, so that isn’t really a surprise. He keeps bugging me to make crawfish, too. Shellfish and I have something of a torrid past, as one of my earliest memories is getting violently ill at a seafood restaurant.

Not to mention ...

Live It. Model It. Teach It. How to Inspire Health in Your Home

Eating a healthy diet in a household full of varying preferences and needs can feel like extra work. At times, it can even feel like a battle, where I can seem like a tyrant taking the fun out of everyone’s meals because it’s good for them. Simply saying no over and over again is tiresome for everyone. And, I don’t know about you, but I ...

Pear and Plum Cranberry Crumble

  As I write this post, I am fresh into my third trimester of my first pregnancy. I have been enjoying and cherishing this time, nourishing my body in every which way, and also anxiously awaiting the moment I get to finally hold and kiss her. It’s wild that one moment she will still be inside of me, protected and with everything she needs, and ...
