Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
This is one of my go-to veggie side dishes for those nights I don’t feel like putting much energy into preparing an elaborate accompaniment to the main course. A cinch to prepare, this cauliflower emerges from the oven tender with a crisp exterior. The key to achieving the caramelization is cutting the cauliflower into thick…
I tried to wait until it was officially fall to start posting pumpkin recipes, but it feels like autumn here in Massachusetts and I found myself breaking open a can of pumpkin last week. I made a batch of mini pumpkin muffins and a delicious Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Brûlée (a recipe that will be in my e-cookbook),…
Another Thanksgiving in the books! John and I hosted my parents for the second year in a row, and it was so much fun to cook all day while my parents played with Lily. John cooked the turkey on the Big Green Egg, which not only freed up much-needed room in the oven, but also yielded…
Peanut butter is a beloved spread enjoyed by people of all ages. It’s not only delicious but also a versatile ingredient that can be used in sandwiches, smoothies, desserts, and more. While store-bought peanut butter is convenient, making your own at home is not only easy but also allows you to control the quality of…
Here’s a super simple recipe that takes just a few minutes to throw together, tastes delicious, and is healthy… in other words, perfect for back-to-school!

But what if we told you that you can make a chili that not only satisfies your taste buds but also nourishes your body with wholesome ingredients? Enter the Sweet Potato Black Bean Chili—a hearty and nutritious dish that’s perfect for…
1. I finished reading this fantastic novel last week… and let me just say that Stephen King’s literary genius has been displayed once again. A departure from his trademark horror genre, this work of historical fiction explores what might have happened had JFK survived the assassination by Lee Harvey Oswald. Highly recommended! 2. Thank you…
1. It happens every weekend. I clean the kitchen only to dust flour over the counters, splatter oil on the stove, and drip beaten egg/juice/other liquid onto the floor mere minutes later. I just can’t win. Thus is life as a recipe developer I suppose. 2. Somehow I ended up on Greatist’s 60 Must-Read Health &…
Now before I get any emails berating me for including a recipe like this one on a healthy food blog, (yes, it happens), let me just say this: not every. single. morsel I put in my mouth has nutritional benefits.
